Saudi Arabia Switchgear Market Size to Surpass USD 2.4 Billion by 2031

Saudi Arabia Switchgear Market is booming primarily due to the rapid growth of smart grid infrastructure, increasing investments in traditional and renewable energy projects, and escalating electricity consumption.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated Saudi Arabia Switchgear Market size by value at USD 1.5 billion in 2024. During the forecast period between 2025 and 2031, BlueWeave expects Saudi Arabia Switchgear Market size to boom at a robust CAGR of 7.2% reaching a value of USD 2.4 billion by 2031. The growth of Switchgear Market in Saudi Arabia is propelled by increasing industrial expansion, rising integration of renewable energy, growing grid modernization efforts, and surging investments in data centers. The soaring demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and stringent safety norms further fuel market growth. As exemplified by Mitsubishi Electric's recent order, advancements in eco-friendly technologies like dry air insulated switchgear are gaining momentum. The expanding oil and gas sector and the emergence of hydrogen and ammonia-based projects create lucrative opportunities for specialized switchgear solutions, prioritizing operational reliability and energy efficiency.

Opportunity-Increasing Stringency of Regulations

The increasing stringency of regulations in Saudi Arabia, particularly in relation to energy efficiency and sustainability, is significantly driving the growth of the switchgear market. Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the National Smart Grid Roadmap highlight the country’s focus on modernizing its power infrastructure. Stringent regulations are encouraging the adoption of advanced technologies like smart switchgear to enhance grid reliability, integrate renewable energy sources, and optimize energy consumption. Additionally, the government's continued support for the electrification of both residential and industrial sectors is further fueling demand for efficient, environmentally friendly switchgear solutions.

Gas Insulated Segment is Expected to Hold Largest Market Share

The gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is set to dominate Saudi Arabia Switchgear Market by insulation type over the forecast period. Its compact design, superior reliability, and minimal environmental impact make it ideal for various applications, including urban areas, offshore platforms, and renewable energy integration. The growing emphasis on renewable energy, stricter environmental regulations, and rising energy demand are driving the adoption of GIS. Recent projects, such as Linxon's 230kV GIS expansion and L&T's 380kV substation and 230kV GIS projects, highlight the increasing preference for GIS in modernizing the Kingdom's power infrastructure. As Saudi Arabia continues to invest in sustainable energy solutions, the demand for gas-insulated switchgear is expected to remain strong.
