Switchgear Market Size to Reach USD 161.63 Billion by 2033, Growing at 5.5% CAGR

 According to a new report by Straits Research, the global switchgear market size was valued at USD 97.76 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow from USD 104.21 billion in 2025 to USD 161.63 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% during 2025–2033.

Switchgear plays a critical role in the electrical industry. It is a mechanical device that switches on/off, controls, and protects electrical equipment such as transformers, switchgear panels, and circuit breakers. From low voltage switchgear to medium voltage (MV switchgear) and high voltage systems, switchgear ensures safety, efficiency, and reliability in power distribution networks.

Prominent companies like Schneider Electric, ABB, Siemens, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) Switchgear, Powell Switchgear, and S&S Power Switchgear Limited are leading the way in innovation. Modern SF6 switchgear, gas-insulated solutions, and IoT-enabled products are reshaping the future of the switchgear industry.
