Low Voltage Switchgear Market, Opportunity, Growth Drivers, Industry Trend Analysis and Forecast, 2025-2034
Description
The Global Low Voltage Switchgear Market was valued at USD 86.36 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% to reach USD 187.36 billion by 2034.
Driven by industrial automation, rapid urbanization, and large-scale grid modernization, the market is witnessing a fundamental transformation in how electrical power is distributed and managed. The increasing deployment of automated and smart manufacturing facilities is generating strong demand for reliable and intelligent switchgear that ensures seamless operations, minimizes downtime, and enhances safety in critical industrial environments. In addition, the acceleration of urban infrastructure projects and the modernization of commercial and residential power networks are contributing to a surge in demand for compact, energy-efficient, and digitally connected switchgear systems. Increasing investments in renewable energy integration and the adoption of smart infrastructure are propelling demand for intelligent, IoT-enabled switchgear systems offering enhanced safety, efficiency, and digital control. These systems enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and remote operation capabilities, allowing utilities and industries to optimize power distribution and reduce energy losses.
The motor control centers (MCCs) segment generated USD 19.8 billion in 2024, driven by the increasing automation of industrial processes and the rising need for centralized motor control systems. MCCs are integral to sectors such as manufacturing, oil and gas, mining, and water treatment, where they provide efficient control, protection, and monitoring of multiple electric motors from a single location. The shift toward intelligent and digital MCCs equipped with real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and remote diagnostics capabilities is transforming industrial operations by improving uptime and optimizing energy consumption.
By current type, AC switchgear held the largest market share in 2024, generating USD 75.56 billion, owing to its broad application across industrial, commercial, and residential power systems. Its dominance stems from widespread compatibility with grid infrastructure, scalability, and the rising need for modular and energy-efficient power distribution solutions. The industrial sector remains the leading application segment, driven by automation and smart factory initiatives.
Asia-Pacific Low Voltage Switchgear Market was valued at USD 36.28 billion in 2024, fueled by rapid industrialization, electrification programs in China and India, and infrastructure development. The region’s focus on smart grids and renewable integration continues to make it the hub for low-voltage switchgear manufacturing and deployment.
Major players in the Global Low Voltage Switchgear Market are pursuing strategies centered on digital transformation, sustainability, and localization. Companies such as ABB, Siemens, Schneider Electric, and Eaton are heavily investing in IoT-enabled, SF₆-free, and energy-efficient switchgear systems to meet evolving grid and safety standards. Partnerships and acquisitions—such as Siemens’ collaboration with Eaton for modular data center power systems—enhance product portfolios and accelerate innovation. Manufacturers are also expanding regional production facilities, such as ABB’s USD 120 million investment in the U.S., to strengthen supply chains and comply with domestic content mandates.
