Air Insulated Switchgear Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Installation (Indoor, Outdoor), Voltage, Application, and Region; Market Forecast, 2024–2032

The global air insulated switchgear market size is expected to reach USD 98.14 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Air Insulated Switchgear Market Size, Share, Trends, Industry Analysis Report – By Installation (Indoor and Outdoor), Voltage, Application, and Region; Market Forecast, 2024–2032” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

Increasing use of high-voltage air-insulated switchgear for applications such as heavy machinery, commercial buildings, grid stabilization, and transportation drives the global Air Insulated Switchgear Market growth. This high-voltage air-insulated switchgear provides safe, reliable, and efficient power distribution and management. In January 2024, Hitachi Energy shipped high-voltage gas-insulated switchgear weighing 64 tons from Switzerland. The company aims to promote sustainable energy by supplying dependable and efficient power distribution and transmission solutions, according to a statement released by the company.

The increasing electricity demand driven by population growth, which needs to expand and modernize power transmission, led to the demand for air-insulated switchgear. Also, government initiatives toward green energy required high-voltage air-insulated switchgear, further contributing to the Air Insulated Switchgear Market growth.

Market players expanded their product portfolio to provide a range of air-insulated switchgear to cater to customer’s needs and stay ahead of the market competition. For instance, Alfanar Group has been actively developing its air-insulated switchgear (AIS) products and expanding its role in the power sector. One of their key products is the alfa12 air-insulated medium voltage metal-clad switchgear, designed to meet international standards for control and protection of medium-voltage power circuits. This product is commonly used in industrial, commercial, and utility installations. Alfanar's switchgear features advanced specifications, such as short-circuit withstand capability up to 31.5 kA and internal arc classification.
