Growth Drivers 

Digitalization across the power industry

Digitalization in Power Generation is completely transforming the work systems in monitoring switch gears systems. The power plants are nowadays becoming smarter and smarter by digitally integrating assets to make the work easier in the power industry. In recent years, energy, water, and labor costs got declined, which is benefiting the power industry growth. Digitization has proven to be extremely helpful in improving the performance and reliability of switchgear as the smart switchgear allows grid optimization and enhance performance, efficiency while minimizing both transmissions as well as operational losses. Thus, digitization drives switch gears to another new level of efficiency as monitoring and analyzing of information becomes more reliable and lower monthly maintenance costs.

Rising Demand for Secured Electrical Transmission & Distribution Network 

The expansion and upgrading are augmented in electric power transmission and distribution network as it is the important link between generating stations and customers. The increasing loads and aging equipment are now stressing the system and developing the risk of widespread blackouts. Additionally, modern society depends on the reliable and economic delivery of electricity. The switchgear monitoring system market would be benefited from these rising demands for secured electrical transmission. The adaptation of Modernization in electric transmission and distribution systems could alleviate all these concerns. The numerous transmission line security monitor systems have been designed now, which provides a means for real-time monitoring of physical threats and damage to electrical transmissions such as line towers, switch gears, and conductors. 

Restraint

Government Policies on Smart Grid for switchgear 

A smart grid is known as a system that can facilitate suppliers in acquiring real-time energy information that they may require and utilize this information to enable supply, storage, consumption, and transaction of electric energy in specific amounts at the right time. The electrical industry is undoubtedly considered to be one of the most conservative in regard to enhancing techniques such as including high voltage and medium voltage switchgear. The governments across the various countries have enacted several supportive policies and mandates that focus on the implementation of smart grids. This leads to spreading awareness about energy conversation. The regulations surge the demand for the smart grid market in application areas, which includes industrial, commercial, and residential sectors. Additionally, heavy investments are being made for the development of the smart grid for switchgear by the government. 

Impact of COVID-19 in industry

The power industry is fundamental for driving financial development, particularly in developing business sectors. The achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7—ensures admittance to reasonable, dependable, and feasible energy across the world. A switchgear monitoring system is one of the essential systems that is largely used in the power industry. Coronavirus has affected many industries in the market, especially by promoting a decrease in demand, financial stress, and ultimately disturbances to the power supply chains. The power industry is one of the industries that got severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The continuous COVID-19 pandemic has affected the switchgear business universally. Because of the current situation, different organizations in the force area across locales need to close their assembling offices and administrations as nations imposed partial or full lockdown methodology to manage the pandemic. The organizations over the district have likewise suspended or postponed the significant force ventures. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has likewise affected the continuous tasks and the whole supply chain of the switchgear market business. For instance, the power sector continues to struggle amid pandemics. The South Asian countries like India have suffered payment delays in the past month, more particularly by the State-owned distribution companies such as Discoms. It is also likely to witness a bankruptcy of large generation capacities and inconsistency of vexatious regulations.

GCC and South Asia Switchgear Monitoring System Market: By Deployment

Switchgear by deployment is categorized into standalone and integrated. The standalone switchgear device can function independently of other hardware and is not integrated into another device. It also has a software program that does not require any software other than the operating system to run. With the growing technologies and advancements in the market, standalone switchgear is becoming very popular. Additionally, standalone switchgear can function without losing its convenient assembly and maintenance features and can adapt to the market's different characteristics. Switchgear of integrated deployment makes it possible to implement all commonly-used substation configurations using compact, standardized modules. It also leads to low operating costs, requires minimal maintenance requirements, and an extended service-life of the system.
