"According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Gas Insulated Power Equipment Market is accounted for $37.43 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $78.77 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 13.2% during the forecast period. Gas insulated power equipment refers to a type of electrical substation or switchgear system where the conductors and other active components are insulated by sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas. This gas acts as both an insulating medium and an arc-quenching agent, allowing for compact and efficient design. Gas insulated equipment offers advantages such as higher reliability, reduced maintenance requirements, and improved safety compared to conventional air-insulated alternatives.
According to the Powergrid Corporation of India, equipment such as gas insulated substations for the Thrissur-Pugalur HVDC line was supplied by factories in India as a part of the Make In India Program.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rapid urbanization and industrialization
Rapid urbanization and industrialization drive the demand for reliable and efficient electricity distribution systems. Gas insulated power equipment, such as switchgear and transformers, offer compactness, safety, and high performance, making them ideal for densely populated urban areas and industrial settings. Their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions and their lower maintenance requirements further contribute to their appeal. As urban populations grow and industrial activities expand, the need for such equipment increases, propelling the growth of the gas insulated power equipment market.
Restraint:
Limited adoption in rural areas
Rural areas often lack the necessary infrastructure and resources to support the installation and maintenance of such advanced equipment. Additionally, the lower population density in rural regions reduces the demand for electricity transmission and distribution systems, diminishing the market potential for gas insulated power equipment. Consequently, the market growth is hampered as rural areas remain underpenetrated, restricting the overall market reach and revenue generation opportunities.
Opportunity:
Rising investments in renewable energy
The increasing investments in renewable energy sources like wind and solar are driving the expansion of the gas insulated power equipment. This growth is fuelled by the need for efficient transmission and distribution infrastructure to support the integration of renewable energy into the grid. Gas insulated power equipment offers advantages such as compactness, high reliability, and reduced maintenance requirements, making it well-suited for accommodating the growing renewable energy capacity. As the demand for reliable and efficient energy transmission grows, so does the market for gas insulated power equipment.
Threat:
Concerns over SF6 gas
The main concerns over SF6 gas stem from its potent greenhouse gas properties, contributing significantly to global warming. Its long atmospheric lifespan and high global warming potential raise environmental and regulatory concerns, prompting efforts to find more sustainable alternatives. In the gas insulated power equipment market, reliance on SF6 hampers growth due to environmental regulations and increasing pressure to adopt eco-friendly solutions.
Covid-19 Impact
The gas insulated power equipment market experienced fluctuations due to covid-19. Initially, disruptions in supply chains and construction activities led to a slowdown. However, increased demand for reliable electricity infrastructure and the need for remote monitoring solutions boosted market growth. Additionally, the emphasis on renewable energy integration and grid modernization projects further drove market expansion, mitigating the pandemic's adverse effects to some extent.
The gas insulated busbars segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The gas insulated busbars segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. GIBs are a crucial component of high-voltage power transmission and distribution systems, offering compactness, safety, and reliability. By encapsulating conductors within a gas-insulated metal enclosure, GIBs minimize space requirements and reduce the risk of electrical faults. Their ability to handle high currents and voltages efficiently makes them indispensable in substations and industrial applications, contributing to improved power infrastructure performance and reliability.
The commercial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The commercial segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period. Gas insulated power equipment, such as switchgear and transformers, finds extensive use in commercial applications due to its compact design and reliable performance. By encapsulating components within a gas-insulated metal enclosure, these systems offer enhanced safety and space-saving advantages, making them ideal for densely populated areas and urban environments. Additionally, their ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions makes them suitable for various commercial applications, ensuring stable and uninterrupted power supply.
