The global gas-insulated substation market revenue is projected to reach close to USD 45 billion by 2028. This can be attributed to increases in renewable energy production, increased investment in transmission & distribution systems, growing demand for energy. Moreover, capacity supply shortages in heavily populated metropolitan areas, and government policies to enhance access to electricity are some of the other factors to anticipate the increasing demand in the global market.
Markets are projected to develop because of growing environmental issues and land shortages in cosmopolitan regions. Energy demand in developing markets is projected to push the industry as a consequence of shifting habits combined with that disposable per capita income. The product is expected to enter the market at a higher growth rate as it can be built in a small space with isolating atmosphere for sulphur hexafluoride gas. Air-insulated substations are vulnerable to increasing levels of air emissions, and gas-insulated substations are more environmentally friendly. It is anticipated that growing need for low and small maintenance power systems will remain a top trend for rise in sales over the projected period. They are better in efficiency and reliability in comparison with air insulated substations.

The higher demand in market is anticipated by the growing land value per hectare fulfilling demand development, as the gas-insulated substations need less space than their counterparts. Space restrictions for building these substations are 90 per cent smaller than most power stations in terms of their limited usage of capacity. Increasing popularity is expected to drive the global market, due to properties such as compatibility to fit in a building. It is anticipated that demand for compact power systems will rise and fuel global market growth. The product in market is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR due to its versatility to work in extreme conditions such as the arctic and desert. Extreme weather conditions are expected to increase high voltage power stations and market expansion in these regions.
Gas-insulated substation demand are expected to grow as a voltage demand rises in the emerging economies. Growing global security issues and protection at reliability & substation are projected to fuel demand growth over the coming years. Longer life cycle and one-time spending are expected to continue to be a primary driver of demand development for gas-insulated substations. Sulfur hexafluoride is a greenhouse gas that is expected to have a detrimental impact on consumer development for its consumption in substations. It is anticipated that high prices relative to conventional power substations would impede demand development and pose problems for industry participants. Internal fault can cause unnecessary harm and the aspect can hamper business development over the forecast period.
Installation Segment
Based on the installation, the market is segmented into indoor and outdoor installations. The outdoor type leads the market growth in 2019 and it is anticipated to hold its CAGR during the forecast years. Outdoor gas-insulated substations have stable operations in high-voltage and medium-voltage transmission, and are favoured for long-distance transmission and distribution of power. Factors such as increased electricity use, government regulations on energy usage, increased infusion of renewable energies, reconstruction, and modernisation, are the factors to push the demand in the gas-insulated substation industry.
Voltage Type Segment
In terms of the voltage type segment, the market is segmented into Medium voltage (Up to 72.5 kV), High Voltage (72.5 kV – 220 kV), and Extra High Voltage (220 kV – 765 kV). In 2019, the high voltage segment accumulated the major share and is expected to continue the trend over the forecast years. The high voltage market is forecasted to have a increase in demand because of its stability and grid connectivity security. They are commonly used in the case of major power generating plants with vital switchyards. The indoor form is a profusion of the gas-insulated substations connected to the high voltage transmission grid. The high-voltage segment is powered by the reconstruction of old power transmission systems in some of the industrialized countries in North America and Europe.
End Use Segment
In terms of the end use segment, the market is segmented into power transmission utility, power distribution utility, power generation utility, and other (heavy industries & railways). In 2019, the power transmission utility segment accumulated the major market share and is expected to continue the trend over the forecast years. Power transmission utility is powered primarily by the extension of transmission lines which results in the installation of high voltage substations. Gas-insulated switchgear plays a critical role in effective power transfer and grid safety, as well as in the transmission circuit relaying and protection. These utilities are responsible for the extension of the transmission system, procurement of high voltage equipment and for reconstruction.
The Asia Pacific region dominated the overall market share with a CAGR of more than 9.5% in 2019 and it is projected to keep its position during the forecast years 2018-2028.
