What Has Been the Growth of the Gas-Insulated Substation Market So Far?
The gas-insulated substation market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the market size of the gas-insulated substation has expanded swiftly. It is anticipated to increase from $24.45 billion in 2024 to $27.05 billion in 2025, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The growth noted in the historic period is principally due to the development of high voltage transmission systems, increasing urbanization and space constraints, the necessity for dependable power infrastructure, environmental factors, and more complex grid systems.
What Is the Forecasted Market Size and Growth Rate for The Gas-Insulated Substation Market in the Coming Years?
The Gas-Insulated Substation market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated fast-paced growth is predicted for the gas-insulated substation market in the coming years, escalating to $40.84 billion by 2029 with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 10.9%.
The expansion in the projected timeline can be attributed to regulatory backing, environmental sensitivities, demand for high-efficiency and compact substations along with an emphasis on grid tenacity and dependability. The increase in initiatives towards modernizing the grid and a shift towards renewable energy also contribute to this growth. Key trends expected during this forecast period revolve around product improvisations, technological progress, heightened focus on grid reliability, incorporating renewable energy, and innovative advancements in the field of GIS.
What Factors Are Driving Growth In The Gas Insulated Substation Market?
The growth of the gas-insulated substation market is being propelled by the escalating demand for clean energy. Clean energy is power derived from renewable, zero-emission sources that don’t contaminate the atmosphere during usage, combined with that conserved through energy efficiency measures. A significant 245 kV voltage associated with clean energy characterizes the European high voltage grid and high voltage products such as GE Renewable Energy. The incorporation of SF6-free gas-insulated substations, at 245 kV, will prove pivotal in moving towards a decarbonized high-voltage grid. For instance, stats from a 2023 report by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US-based entity, highlight that the U.S. utility-scale electricity produced from hydropower reached 240 billion kWh, constituting 5.7% of overall energy share. Consequently, the mounting requirement for clean energy is catalyzing the expansion of the gas-insulated substation market.

What Emerging Trends Are Influencing The Growth Of The Gas Insulated Substation Market?
The development of novel products forms a significant trend within the gas-insulated substation market. Multiple leading firms within this market are making concerted efforts to devise innovative solutions so as to consolidate their foothold. For instance, Toshiba, a prestigious electronics company based in Japan, introduced its 72kV GIS in March 2023, intended to be a substitute for equipment at TEPCO PG's Fuchu Substation. The 72kV GIS comprises a circuit breaker that can hinder fault current on a transmission line to stop it from damaging other electrical hardware, a transmission system switch, an instrument transformer, and a lightning arrester. The insulating medium used in the 72kV GIS is a synthetic air mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, offering safety and leading to no global warming implications in case of leakage.
