Africa Low Voltage Switchgear Market Synopsis
"The Africa Low Voltage Switchgear Market experienced growth before the pandemic, on account of government initiatives towards residential sectors to tackle the housing deficit in the continent such as the Upgrading of Informal Settlements by the South African government and the National Housing Program by the Nigerian government, along with the Affordable Housing Program by the Ghanaian government and several others. However, in 2020, the market declined due to COVID-19 restrictions on construction activities. Fortunately, the market recovered in the post-pandemic period, driven by major infrastructure projects, including the investment of $5.4 billion under the National Department of Human Settlements plan in 2022 by the South African government, the $2.3 billion development plan for various housing and commercial infrastructure projects by the Ghana government in 2022, among others. Additionally, the construction of 123 new cities in Africa over the next two decades, with an estimated cost of up to US$150 billion, is expected to further drive the expansion of the Low Voltage Switchgear Market in Africa.According to this research, Africa Low Voltage Switchgear Market revenue size is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during 2023-2029. The Low Voltage Switchgear Market in Africa is anticipated to experience growth in the forecast period due to increased infrastructure investments and new city construction. Several African governments are making noteworthy investments in diverse infrastructure projects, such as the $980 million redevelopment of Sheger in Ethiopia, the $14 billion Dangote Oil Refinery project in Nigeria, $5.8 billion investment in a Hydroelectric Power Project in Nigeria and others. Furthermore, the burgeoning investment in the hospitality sector, highlighted by the expansion of hotels with 1,837 new rooms by 2024, and substantial budget allocations like Kenya's $2.1 billion for infrastructure enhancement and Ethiopia's $4.2 billion investment to construct 500,000 affordable homes by 2026 at a target of 100,000 homes annually, are expected to further drive the market of LV switchgear in the region.
Market by Types
