Report Description Table of Contents Global Medium Voltage Switchgear Market & Overview The Medium Voltage Switchgear Market was valued at USD 36.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach around USD 54.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. The growth is fueled by accelerating investments in urban infrastructure, industrial automation & renewable energy integration, all of which require reliable grid connectivity & protection systems. Global Medium Voltage Switchgear Market Dynamics: Market Drivers According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity demand rose by over 2.2% in 2023, a trend expected to accelerate with the expansion of electrified transport, HVAC systems & digital infrastructure. In January 2025, Siemens launched its first fluorinated-gas-free gas-insulated switchgear for the U.S. medium-voltage market. The company is allocating $100 million to enhance its switchgear manufacturing facility in Germany. The increasing integration of renewable sources of energy into power grids, especially wind & solar farms, requires efficient & compact switchgear solutions to manage grid variability and ensure safety. Government-backed rural electrification programs & smart grid investments further support the market's growth trajectory. Market Restraints The EU operates around 15 Mn medium-voltage switchgear units, with 10 Mn relying on SF6, driving significant carbon emissions. SF6 is widely used in GIS units but is a potent greenhouse gas, prompting regulatory restrictions & increasing environmental compliance costs. Furthermore, delayed power infrastructure upgrades in some developing countries, due to budget constraints & bureaucratic bottlenecks, also limit market penetration. Market Opportunities The EU has implemented a revised F-gas Regulation, banning the use of SF6 in new medium-voltage switchgear installations starting January 1, 2026. With the EU & other global bodies pushing for SF6 phase-outs by 2030, manufacturers are increasingly investing in sustainable alternatives that offer long-term cost & environmental benefits. In 2023, electric car sales grew by 3.5 million compared to 2022, marking a 35% year-over-year increase. The electrification of transport systems, including railways & EV charging stations, requires robust medium voltage infrastructure, further boosting market demand.
