Air Insulated Switchgear Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Air Insulated Switchgear Market is anticipated to display a CAGR of around 5% over the forecast period (2021-2027). The Global Air Insulated Switchgear Market is experiencing significant growth due to the increased demand for building automation systems, rising global demand for energy-efficient electrical products and increase in urban population and rise in industrialization activities are the key factors complementing the Air Insulated Switchgears market. In addition, rising investments in power transmission and distribution networks coupled with the growing augmentation and modernization of transmission and distribution networks across the globe, are expected to drive the market. For instance, to meet the demand of China's cities and industrial zones for electricity, the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) is building 12 electricity transmission lines linking the coal production and hydropower centers for a project valued at US$ 33.7 billion. According to China's state grid company, the line can transmit up to 12 gigawatts, which is enough to power 50 million Chinese households.

Furthermore, Increasing expenditure in electrical networks and low capital investment of switchgear coupled with increasing focus of power companies on installing technologies such as air-insulated switchgear that have a lower outage and can ensure uninterrupted power supply, are major driving factors in the market.

Moreover, the surging consumption of electricity in developing countries is escalating the adoption of smart grids coupled with the increasing need to upgrade existing infrastructure has positively influenced the market growth. In 2021, China witnessed an increase in electricity demand of 10%. This was mainly led by the industrial sector such as cement, construction, steel and metals, among others.

However, in early 2020, the majority of the countries and regions witnessed a countrywide lockdown due to the spread of COVID-19. This has influenced the overall demand for Air Insulated Switchgear market. Globally countries witnessed an economic slowdown. The industrial sector witnessed a major decline, where countries had imposed shut down of manufacturing facilities to reduce the spread of COVID-19. All these factors affected the market for Air Insulated Switchgear in a negative way.
