iii. Supporting the demand for the residential switchgear market. Adding to it, the increasing demand for environmentally friendly switchgear will also influence the market’s movement.
The Future Of Switchgears in India
With the rapid urbanization and industrialization, the Indian switchgear market is likely to grow in sync with a rising power consumption over the next several years. Furthermore, the necessity for smart appliances to ensure the system’s long-term viability has boosted the demand for safe and energy-efficient switchgear. This year, the market will be pushed even further by increased infrastructure and a strong corporate climate.
While the industry faced a decline in sales in the first few months of 2020, the market continues to move steadily, expected to recover and grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2021, with an expected valuation to cross a $113.5 billion mark in 2023, the industry.
Adding to it, the newly injected investments into the country’s infrastructure project has also improved the scope of switchgear industries in India. The development of airports, metros, and hospitals will boost the market of LV switchgears even further.
