The low voltage switchgear market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $44.54 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for electricity, growing use of electricity in transportation, rising investments in renewable energy and a rise in demand for electricity from manufacturing sectors. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on offering premium low voltage switchgear, focus on deploying new technologies, focus on producing energy-efficient products and focus on strategic partnerships and collaborations.
The demand for electricity generation is anticipated to drive the growth of the low voltage switchgear market. The ongoing development of industrialization and urbanization necessitates a continuous supply of electricity, and the reliability of this supply largely depends on the performance of switchgear. As energy production shifts toward sustainable growth in both rural and urban areas, the integration of supply protection will further fuel industry expansion. For example, in March 2022, the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a government agency in the US, reported that the contribution of renewable energy to power generation is expected to nearly triple, rising from 21% in 2021 to 44% by 2050, largely driven by advancements in wind and solar power. Consequently, the demand for electricity generation is projected to significantly boost the low voltage switchgear market.
The growing demand for data centers is expected to further propel the low-voltage switchgear market. Data centers are specialized facilities designed to accommodate computer systems and related components, including telecommunications and storage systems. These centers are crucial for storing, processing, and managing large volumes of data for various applications, such as cloud computing, e-commerce, and social media. Low-voltage switchgear is essential for distributing power to different components and systems within a data center, including servers, storage systems, and networking equipment. It also protects electrical systems from power surges, overloads, and other electrical disturbances. For instance, in September 2024, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that there are approximately 5,000 data centers in the United States, with demand for these facilities expected to increase by around 9% annually until 2030. Thus, the rising demand for data centers is driving the growth of the low-voltage switchgear market.
