Posted by Mayur Yeole on April 2nd, 2021

The global switchgear monitoring market is expected to exhibit a strong 7.86% CAGR over the forecast period from 2019 to 2024, according to the latest research report from Market Research Future (MRFR). The global switchgear monitoring market size was valued at USD 1.52 billion in 2018 and is expected to rise to a valuation of USD 2.16 billion by 2024, according to the report. The report presents a detailed, comprehensive analysis of all factors affecting the market’s movement, including an assessment of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global switchgear monitoring market growth.

Switchgears are an electrical equipment used to control, protect, and isolate electrical equipment. They comprise components such as fuses, electrical switches, and circuit breakers. Switchgear monitoring systems can be used to monitor switchgear activity in substations and transformers. The growing investment in electrical power generation and distribution infrastructure from governments around the world is likely to be a major driver for the global switchgear monitoring market over the forecast period. As the global population has grown, the demand for power distribution infrastructure has also grown in line with the same. This has led to a growing demand for electrical equipment to protect and safeguard the electrical distribution and transmission systems. This is likely to be a major driver for the global switchgear monitoring market over the forecast period. Increasing urbanization in developing countries has also emerged as a major driver for the global switchgear monitoring market over the last few years.

Increasing development of renewable energy sources is also likely to be a major driver for the global switchgear monitoring market over the forecast period. The addition of renewable energy sources in an existing power transmission and distribution network leads to a requirement of effective safeguards to protect the two different sources of energy. Mixups in the combination of renewable and conventional energy can lead to significant disturbances in the electrical network, damaging the network. This can be avoided by smart use of switchgear equipment, which helps isolate the two streams of electrical energy and thus protects the entire electrical power network.
