The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging infrastructure, industrialization, growing adoption of smart grid, increasing demand for reliable and efficient power transmission, increasing complexity of electrical grids.

The global switchgear monitoring system market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.35 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for predictive maintenance and asset management solutions, adoption of digital twins, rising concerns about cybersecurity threats, demand for remote monitoring and control of switchgear. Major trends in the forecast period include predictive maintenance, cloud-based solutions, energy management, remote monitoring and control, iot integration.

The switchgear monitoring system market is anticipated to experience growth driven by the increasing demand for electricity. Electricity demand signifies the quantity of electrical power consumed within a specific country, region, or sector over a defined timeframe. Switchgear monitoring systems play a pivotal role in overseeing the condition of critical switchgear assets like transformers and substations. The surge in electricity demand has led to a higher utilization of switchgear, and monitoring systems have become instrumental in ensuring the reliability of these crucial assets. As an illustration, in 2022, data from Our World in Data, a UK-based scientific online publication, revealed that the United States witnessed an upswing in electricity demand, rising from 4,192.9 TWh (terawatt-hours) in 2021 to 4,338.1 TWh in 2022. Consequently, the growth in electricity demand is a driving force behind the advancement of switchgear monitoring systems.

The growing prevalence of aging power infrastructure is set to drive the expansion of the switchgear monitoring system market in the future. Switchgear monitoring systems are specialized technological and software solutions used for overseeing and managing electrical switchgear equipment. These systems offer advantages such as preventive maintenance, enhanced safety and reliability, compliance with regulations, and the extension of the operational lifespan of critical equipment, all of which are particularly beneficial for aging power infrastructure. As of February 2023, over 70% of the U.S. energy grid is more than 25 years old, rendering it increasingly vulnerable to severe weather events that become more frequent and intense over time. Consequently, the rise of aging power infrastructure is a key factor propelling the growth of the switchgear monitoring system market.

The restricted availability of skilled professionals has the potential to impede the growth of the switchgear monitoring system market during the forecast period. Setting up and maintaining switchgear monitoring systems necessitates the involvement of proficient experts well-versed in electrical engineering, software development, and data analytics. However, the limited pool of such skilled professionals poses a significant challenge to the expansion of the switchgear monitoring market. For example, as of September 2023, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has reported that unemployment rates in technology-related fields increased in tandem with the overall U.S. unemployment rate, which rose from 3.5% in July to 3.8% in August. This resulted in a total of 6.4 million unemployed individuals, signifying an increase of 514,000 in the number of unemployed people. Consequently, the constrained availability of skilled professionals is acting as a deterrent to the growth of the switchgear monitoring system market.

A prevailing trend in the switchgear monitoring system market is the growing emphasis on developing technologically advanced products, such as switchgear monitors (SWGM), to expand market presence and profitability. These systems offer comprehensive solutions for monitoring switchgear conditions, allowing remote control from a safe location beyond the arc flash zone. For example, in November 2021, Dynamic Rating Pty Ltd., a US-based provider of condition monitoring products and services, unveiled an innovative switchgear monitor. This cutting-edge solution provides comprehensive condition monitoring for medium-voltage switchgear by utilizing various sensors to gather data on switchgear condition, including waveform capture technology, partial discharge (PD) monitoring, gas analysis, temperature monitoring, and vibration monitoring. Additionally, it features a web-based user interface, alarms, notifications, and reporting capabilities, contributing to improved reliability and safety of electrical systems by identifying potential issues before they lead to outages or damage.

In March 2021, Siemens AG, a Germany-based industrial manufacturing giant, completed the acquisition of C&S Electric Ltd. for $285 million. This strategic move aimed to bolster Siemens' presence in the Indian market, gain access to new technologies, and expand its manufacturing capacity. C&S Electric Ltd. is an India-based provider of switchgear, power protection, feeder protection, and monitoring solutions.
