Low Voltage (LV) Switchgear Market Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

Greater focus on green energy:

As the world faces drastic climate change, the need for a cleaner and greener planet has become a global priority. Hence, an amplified focus on green energy is strongly driving the low-voltage switchgear market as it offers safe and reliable power distribution. Nowadays, there is a growing use of wind power, solar, or other sources of renewable energies to ensure safe, reliable and efficient power distribution. Based on reports, the total global renewable capacity is assumed to surge by 2.7 times by 2030, exceeding national goals by nearly 25%. Therefore, with the increase in renewable energy projects across the globe, the demand for strong and pocket-friendly switchgear to support modern grid systems rises too, further driving the low voltage switchgear market.

Increasing emphasis on safety and standards:

A diverse range of industries are bound by regulatory frameworks, safeguarding financial resources, workforce safety and power infrastructure. This heightened priority of occupational safety and regulatory adherence is boosting the requirement for standardized low-voltage switchgear (LV). Every worker has the inherent right to a sidk-free workspace but occupational risks continue to exist. According to WHO findings, the South-East Asia Region (SEAR) is subjected to an unequal burden of workplace mortality, with 36.5 deaths each 100,000 of the working population. Besides that, organizations are also directing their attention to innovative products delivering continuous round-the-clock monitoring, fault detection, and preventive maintenance to minimize potential hazards. Therefore, with increasing stricter enforcement of global regulatory frameworks, the demand for advanced switchgear will see sustained growth across industries, ultimately driving the LV switchgear market.

Restraints

High upfront expenses:

The significant initial costs of the modern low-voltage (LV) switchgear pose barriers to its widespread adoption. Generally, smaller companies and projects with limited budgets encounter difficulties in setting aside funds for these cutting-edge systems. Even though these modern technologies offer numerous benefits, the huge initial investment remains a major issue, thereby, limiting the LV market.

Worldwide distribution challenges:

Due to trade limitations, transport delays, or geopolitical conflicts, the availability of vital materials like metals and semiconductors is becoming limited, resulting in price spikes. Furthermore, these may cause various troubles such as manufacturing delays and shortfall in supplies. Therefore, these logistical constraints are creating barriers to the hassle-free adoption of low-voltage (LV) switchgear across the world, restricting the market.
