Frost Radar in the Asia-Pacific Switchgear Market

Frost Radar in the Asia-Pacific Switchgear Market

The Asia-Pacific switchgear (low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage) market is predicted to have a steady growth rate of 2.9% from 2018 to 2025, driven by increasing power demand and grid connectivity across the region. Demand for switchgears also is driven by retrofits of aging equipment, especially in the medium- and high-voltage categories.

Southeast Asia will remain the fastest-growing market during the forecast period, and this growth will be attributed by its rapid development in grids and construction. Although East Asia is the largest market segment, it is expected to account a low compound annual growth rate of below 2%. This trend is similar to that in Australia and New Zealand, where the growth is relatively lower. Among the 6 nations in Southeast Asia, the top 3 are Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia, which together held a share of 58.1% in 2018; these countries will maintain their dominance during the forecast period as well. In East Asia, Japan leads in terms of market size, but Taiwan is expected to witness better growth rates, especially in the high-voltage segment.

For this research, Frost & Sullivan used a unique and robust platform called Frost Radar to analyze the market and identify Companies to Action (C2A). More than 30 companies that fall into the Frost & Sullivan definition of switchgear were analyzed and then narrowed this down to 21 companies based on their growth indicators and recent innovations and growth strategies. Frost & Sullivan evaluated and positioned these 21 companies based on 2 major indices, Growth and Innovation; each of these indices has 5 criteria. Companies that are positioned in the radar are: ABB, Siemens, LSIS, MELCO, GE, Meidensha, Toshiba, Hyosung Heavy Industries, Hyundai Electric, Hitachi, Schneider Electric, Eaton, Fuji Electric, Crompton Greaves, Fortune Electric, Tamco, Tenaga Switchgear, RPS Switchgear, Nissin Electric, Shihlin Electric, and CHEM.

The Frost Radar reveals the market positioning of companies in an industry using their Growth and Innovation scores as highlighted in the Frost Radar methodology. The document presents competitive profiles on each of the companies in the Frost Radar based on their strengths, opportunities, and a small discussion on their positioning. Frost & Sullivan analyzes dozens of companies (across all tiers of competition) in the industry and benchmarks them across 10 criteria on the Frost Radar, where the leading companies in the industry are then positioned. Industry leaders on both the Growth and Innovation indices are recognized as best practice recipients.
