The COVID-19 pandemic led to a substantial drop in transportation and related activities, which had an impact on energy demand, hence constraining DC switchgear market growth.

However, the DC switchgear market study finds that the demand for rail transportation is steadily expanding. Short-distance air travel can be replaced by high-speed rail. But significant investment in the power supply network is required to operate high-speed railways economically. As DC switchgear is an essential component of DC substations, opportunities for players in the DC switchgear market are anticipated to rise.

Solar, wind (onshore and offshore), biomass, hydropower, and geothermal power plants are all rural areas and DC switchgear companies use HVDC systems to connect such far-flung power-producing sources and reduce transmission losses with long-distance power transmissions.

In new or under development projects, combining renewable power generation sources with HVDC transmission connections is becoming more common. These necessitate frequent and consistent monitoring of the entire system to ensure minimal losses and fault protection. Switchgear is required for the proper operation of HVDC converter stations. As a result, the factor presents a lucrative DC switchgear market opportunity for makers.

Multiple hurdles, such as adverse environmental conditions, demanding laws, and technical concerns, are linked with installing upgraded DC switchgear; all of which constitute a danger to any nation's economy. Smart gadgets help any power supply system run smoothly, but they can also be a security risk due to anti-social forces.

When passing through the security on remote access, data theft, or security breaches could occur, resulting in blackouts and power outages. Substations, of which DC switchgear is a part, require a multi-layer shield to protect its cyber security, which could impede the growing demand for DC switchgear.

Key Takeaways:

• Contribution of railway segment is projected to be the most during the forecast period.
• Sales of DC switchgear with a capacity of 750 V is anticipated to remain the highest, as end users seek high efficiency.
• The DC switchgear market size in the United States is expected to grow by more than 5% by 2025. The same can be attributed to government initiatives to replace and upgrade existing distribution networks.
• By installation, the outdoor installation segment is expected to have a large DC switchgear market share due to its ability to withstand harsh climatic conditions while also providing reliable and cost-effective operations.
