Key Highlights of the Report:

  • Increasing electricity demand that comes with population growth and urbanization keeps accelerating the region in terms of the demand for medium-voltage switchgear.

  • Massive expansion of transmission and distribution networks is developing sustained investment in new and replacement switchgear.

  • High renewable implementation and industrial development are increasing the need to have a dependable system of MV that can be used in the grid.

  • The market is also shifting to compact, GIS, and digitally enabled switchgear with the assistance of the increasing local assembly and manufacturing capacity.

  • Electrification efforts, mini-grids, C&I solar-hybrids, and service contracts based on digitalization are all emerging significant opportunities, especially in underserved and remote regions.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, the Middle East & Africa Medium Voltage Switchgear Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 6.50% during the forecast period (2025-2033F). The MEA medium voltage switchgear market is undergoing stable growth with utilities, industries, and infrastructure developers dynamically increasing grid expansion and modernization. The increasing demand for electricity caused by the high rates of urbanization, industrial development, and mass electrification programs is compelling governments and other operators to reinforce the existing transmission and distribution systems. The continued use of renewable energy, of which solar and wind power are major forms, is redefining the grid architecture and thus creating a demand for sophisticated yet reliable MV switchgear that can support the safe introduction and control of power flows.

Segments that transform the industry

  • Based on types, the Middle East & Africa Medium Voltage Switchgear market is segmented into compact, metal-clad switchgear, metal-enclosed switchgear, vault or subsurface switchgear, and pad-mounted switchgear. All types have different application requirements in the utility, commercial, and industrial environments. In high-reliability industrial settings as well as urban installations that demand space, compact and metal-clad designs are the common solution. Switchgear housed in metal is used because of its low cost in normal distribution systems, whereas vault and underground systems are used to accommodate underground pipes in the congested urban centers. Pad-mounted switchgear will continue to play a critical role in renewable integration, suburban grid reinforcement, and distribution projects, with the need to have a highly resilient, flexible, and easily manageable power system.
