Report Overview

Rapid growth in the power distribution sector and the increasing integration of smart monitoring and control equipment into power grid infrastructure are expected to bolster the growth of the India switchgear market during the forecast period between 2023 and 2029.

India Switchgear Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2029

India switchgear market size was estimated at USD 9.75 million in 2022. During the forecast period between 2023 and 2029, the India switchgear market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.12% reaching a value of USD 18.23 million by 2029. The growth of the India switchgear market is being driven by the rapid growth in the power distribution sector. The Indian government has made significant investments in infrastructure development, including the construction of new or expanded airports, metro stations, and electrical distribution networks. This is projected to propel the switchgear industry forward. According to an article released by IBEF, the Indian government's focus on creating future infrastructure is obvious, as evidenced by a slew of initiatives introduced recently. Gati Shakti, the USD 1.3 trillion national master plan for infrastructure, has been a leader in bringing about systematic and comprehensive reforms in the sector and has already made great progress. Furthermore, the increasing integration of smart monitoring and control equipment into power grid infrastructure in India is bolstering market growth.  

India Switchgear Market – Overview

Switchgear is a centralized collection of circuit breakers, switch-fuse units, off-load isolators, relays, high rupturing capacity (HRC) fuses, surge arrestors, contactors, and switches to manage electrical devices. It is offered as low, medium, and high-voltage switchgear and is made up of gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) and air-insulated switchgear (AIS). It is extremely dependable, can be manually regulated, and enhances energy efficiency and safety. It is directly connected to the supply system and is used to de-energize equipment for testing and maintenance while managing various voltage capabilities. It aids in the protection and isolation of power systems from fault currents, as well as the control of power distribution on a wide scale. Aside from that, it helps to reduce system damage by blocking power flow in equipment.

Growth Drivers

Growth and Expansion of Renewable Energy Sector

The growth and expansion of the renewable energy industry could propel the growth of the switchgear market in India during the forecast period. For the growth of the renewable energy sector, India makes considerable investments in renewable energy, including wind and solar electricity. As renewable energy projects require specialized switchgear, it is projected to boost demand for low-voltage switchgear. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian renewable energy sector is the world's fourth most appealing renewable energy market. As of 2020, India was rated fourth in wind power, fifth in solar power, and fourth in renewable power installed capacity. Renewable power generation capacity installed has grown rapidly in recent years, with a CAGR of 15.92% between FY16 and FY22. India is the market with the highest growth in renewable energy, with new capacity additions predicted to treble by 2026. As a result, the growth and expansion of the renewable energy industry are expected to promote market growth.

Restraints

Volatile Raw Material Prices

Uncertain raw material prices are projected to limit the expansion of India switchgear market. The availability of low-quality materials at lower prices causes price fluctuations in the country. The use of low-quality items raises the possibility of insulation layer breakdown, short circuit circumstances, and other problems. As a result, variable pricing of switchgear raw materials is projected to stymie market expansion. According to a Financial Express report published in May 2020, steel prices jumped from Rs 35,000 per ton to Rs 42,000 per ton in the previous six months for a product like hot rolled coil, a key raw material for the engineering industry. Therefore, fluctuating prices of raw materials are likely to hinder the growth of the India switchgear market.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Switchgear Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant influence on the country's economy, which impeded the expansion of the switchgear market in the country during the first years of the projection period. With rapid population expansion, urbanization, and industrialization increasing the electricity demand, the Indian switchgear market is already showing consistent growth and is likely to flourish over the forecast period. The rapid advancement of the power distribution industry due to the increased deployment of smart-grid and smart meters is the primary factor driving the growth of the Indian switchgear market. The Indian government's infrastructure development schemes, such as Smart Cities, Make in India, Digital India, the Integrated Power Development Scheme, and the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation, among others, have significantly contributed to the growth of the switchgear market in India. However, the country's already weakening economy, along with an economic slowdown induced by the emergence of COVID-19, which results in lower energy demand and lower investments in the power industry, is anticipated to operate as a growth restraint for India switchgear market.

India Switchgear Market

Segmental Coverage

India Switchgear Market - By Insulation

Based on insulation, the India switchgear market is segmented into gas-insulated, vacuum-insulated, air-insulated, and others. The gas-insulated segment is expected to experience substantial growth during the forecast period. To function efficiently and safely in confined places, these products are outfitted with high-voltage components, such as disconnectors and circuit breakers. These switchgear are used in a variety of applications, including offshore platforms, industrial units, hydropower facilities, and building additions. They are more environmentally friendly, reliable, and adaptable than Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS). Furthermore, the installation and maintenance costs for GIS are less than those for AIS. GIS is widely used in power transmission, the integration of renewable energy-producing units into the grid, and railways.

India Switchgear Market - By Voltage

Based on voltage, the India switchgear market is segmented into low, medium, and high. During the forecast period, the high voltage category is expected to grow at a significant rate. High-voltage switchgear is used in power systems with voltages greater than 36kV. To ensure safe and dependable operation, high-voltage circuit breakers are integrated into this switchgear. Increasing advancements in substation and power plant infrastructure have raised the demand for this segment's product.

India Switchgear Market - By Current

Based on the current, the India switchgear market is bifurcated into alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) segments. During the forecast period, the alternating current (AC) segment is expected to grow at a significant rate. Alternating current (AC) is the most common type of electrical current utilized in India. AC is used in several power industry divisions, including transmission and distribution, generation, and industrial uses. Switchgear equipment is utilized in these divisions of the power industry to manage, safeguard, and isolate electrical equipment and circuits.

India Switchgear Market - By Enclosure

Based on enclosure, the India switchgear market is segmented power distributor switch breaker, switch disconnector, MCB & MCCB, RCCB & ELCB, ACB, DB, and other switching devices. The power distributor switch breaker segment is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period. Power distribution switch breakers are essential parts of the switchgear market, as they are the major safety devices that protect electrical equipment and enable dependable and efficient power distribution. When there is an overload, short circuit, or another defect in the system, power distribution switch breakers automatically interrupt the electric flow. They serve as safety devices, protecting electrical equipment from harm, minimizing downtime, and ensuring people’s safety.

Competitive Landscape

The India switchgear market is highly competitive, with all the players continually competing to gain a larger market share. The key players in the market include Larsen & Toubro Limited, Siemens Limited, ABB India Limited, Schneider Electric Infrastructure Limited, Havells India Limited, C&S Electric Limited, Legrand India Pvt. Ltd., Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), HPL Electric & Power Ltd. Mitsubishi Electric India Pvt. Ltd., GE T&D India Limited, and Control and Switchgear (C&S) Electric.
