The North America Low Voltage Switchgear Market size is estimated at USD 12.29 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 16.12 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.58% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The United States is anticipated to dominate the low-voltage switchgear market during the forecast period. The transition from fossil fuel-based electricity generation to clean sources-based energy generation increases the transmission and distribution infrastructure demand.
The country's transition towards cleaner sources of energy generation, such as solar, wind, bioenergy, biomethane, and others. The increasing installation of such electricity-generating sources increases the demand for the expansion of the distribution networks, which further increases the installation of low-voltage switchgear. According to IRENA, the country's installed renewable energy capacity was around 351.67 GW in 2022,
In addition, the investment in upgrading the distribution systems is also increasing in the country. Establishing smart grid technology and rapidly growing industrialization within the country is also responsible for driving growth in the low-voltage switchgear market.
The key market players are also expanding their distribution networks within the country, and several foreign players are also entering the U.S. distribution market. For instance, In April 2021, Enel, an Italy-based energy company, announced its plans to expand its energy distribution business into the U.S. market. The company planned to invest around USD 19.52 billion in distribution networks over the next two years, and it has prepared to invest around USD 72.23 billion by 2030.
The factors mentioned above are likely to drive growth in the low-voltage switchgear market in the United States during the forecast period.
The low voltage switchgear market is fragmented. Some of the key players in this market (not in a particular order) include ABB Ltd., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric, Rockwell Automation, and Toshiba Corporation, among others.
According to the Toshiba Corporation, the company’s strategic methods include, expaning company's manufacturing facilities that act as catalysts for the organic growth by increasing its solutions and high-value services offerings and capabilities. For instance, in March 2023, Siemens invested USD 32.61 million to expand its switchgear plant in Frankfurt-Fechenheim. A smart, fully automated high-speed warehouse and a 1,200 square-meter extension to an existing hall are being built on the 160,000 square-meter site.
