South America Gas Insulated Switchgear Market Analysis

The South America Gas Insulated Switchgear Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 5% during the forecast period.

  • The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19 in 2020. Presently the market has now reached pre-pandemic levels. Over the medium term, increasing investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure is expected to drive the demand for gas-insulated switchgear during the forecast period.
  • On the other hand, SF6 gas used in insulating switchgear is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential that may restrain the market. Nevertheless, plans to integrate renewable energy with the national grids are expected to create significant opportunities for the gas-insulated switchgear market players in the near future.
  • During the forecast period, Brazil is the fastest-growing country in the South American gas-insulated switchgear market.

South America Gas Insulated Switchgear Market News

  • February 2023: Brazil's Mines and Energy Ministry (MME) recommended constructing an additional 6,000 km of transmission lines and eleven substations in Brazilian states such as Sao Paul
  • July 2022: Sterlite Power won two transmission line auctions. The development of the first project, worth USD 4.4 million, consists of the development of 113 km of transmission line between Sergipe and Bahia with a transmission capacity of 300 MVA. Another project worth USD 17.6 million would witness the development of a 505 km transmission line with a transmission capacity of 850 MVA in Mato Grosso and Para. The project would cater growing energy demand in the region. Such developments lead to the requirement for gas-insulated switchgear in the region.
