Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) Switchgear Market: Vast Rise in Electrification Rates to Drive Market across Emerging Economies

The global low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) switchgear market is characterized by intense price-based competition. As per a new study by Transparency Market Research (TMR), competition is expected to intensify further as local players aim for a larger presence in developed markets by providing affordable and efficient LV and MV switchgear. In Asia Pacific, which is an attractive market for LV and MV switchgear, Schneider Electric SE held a dominant share of 16.1% in terms of value in 2015, reports TMR. The top three players in Asia Pacific cumulatively held more than 37% of the market.  

The rapid development of industrial infrastructure and expansion witnessed in the construction sector, primarily in the emerging markets, are fuelling demand for low voltage (LV) and medium voltage (MV) switchgear. With governments proactively investing in urbanization and rural development, renewal of existing transmission and distribution networks is on the cards. This is expected to create attractive opportunities for the LV and MV switchgear market.

Transparency Market Research says that the global LV and MV switchgear market will exhibit a CAGR of 6.8% between 2016 and 2024. The market had a valuation of US$56.23 bn in 2015 and is expected to reach US$98.80 bn by the end of the forecast period. Growth witnessed by the market in developing countries such as Indonesia, India, and China in particular has been strong due to the accelerated electrification witnessed across these nations. 


The lack of adequate electrification has been inhibiting the growth of the industrial sector across emerging economies. To counter the situation, governments in India and China have adopted several approaches to improve grid connectivity in remote locations. A significant portion of the budget for such improvement plans has been allocated to urbanization, thus fuelling the deployment of smart grid technology. This subsequently translates into greater opportunities for sales of LV and MV switchgear in these countries.

In the last few years, the market has witnessed positive growth globally. However, intense price-based competition between established and local players has been creating bottlenecks for the market. Besides this, the easy availability of substitutes for switchgear might also hinder sales of LV and MV switchgear. Nevertheless, in the near future, several countries located in the African and Asian sub-continent are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the market. Furthermore, the increasing demand for renewable energy will also bolster sales of LV and MV switchgear in the forthcoming years.


Increasing Demand from Power and Utilities Sectors to Boost Sales of LV and MV Switchgear

The major application segments of the LV and MV switchgear market include the pulp and paper industry, utilities sector, power plant, oil and gas, and petrochemical industry. The increasing investments in the construction sector and industrial infrastructure have boosted the demand for switchgear from the power and utilities sector. In terms of revenue, power plants emerged as the key application segment holding a share of 39.8% in the market in 2015. In the same year, the utilities sector held the second largest share in the market.

Recent Report Covers Upcoming Opportunities in Parking Sensors Market

Parking sensors could be defined as the proximity sensors which are needed in the automotive to assist the driver to park the vehicle safely and hassle free. The sensors used are the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) that helps the driver by giving an alert signal when there is an obstacles. Parking sensors assembles the information about the availability of space in the parking lots and coordinates between the cars to monitor them to find free space for parking. It uses advanced technologies to aid cars to locate, pay and reserve for parking space. The sensors provides real-time information through changeable message signs to drivers. Obtain Report Details @ http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/parking-sensors-market.html The ultrasonic parking sensors uses sound waves to detect the obstacle whether the vehicle is in motion or at rest while the electromagnetic sensors uses magnetic waves to detect the obstacle. Electromagnetic sensors are self-diagnostic and are ...
