Switchgear refers to a collection of switching devices that are used for controlling, protecting, and switching electrical circuits and equipment. Switchgears are used in various applications, such as transmission and distribution utilities, residential, commercial, and industrial. The main product types of switchgear are high voltage, medium voltage, and low voltage. The products are installed indoors and outdoors as gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), air-insulated switchgear (AIS), and others. Gas-insulated high-voltage switchgear (GIS) is metal-encapsulated switchgear that contains high-voltage components such as circuit breakers and disconnectors and can be safely operated in confined spaces. Extensions, city buildings, roofs, offshore platforms, industrial plants, and hydropower plants are all examples of places where GIS is used. The switchgear is used by residential, commercial, and industrial end-users. The global switchgear market is segmented - 1) By Product Type: High Voltage, Medium Voltage, Low Voltage 2) By End-User: Residential, Commercial, Industrial 3) By Insulation: Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS), Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS), Other Insulations 4) By Installation: Indoor, Outdoor The global switchgear market size will grow from $78.4 billion in 2022 to $85.37 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.
