Restraining Factors

The initial costs of gas insulated switchgear (GIS) systems are higher than those of air-insulated alternatives, especially when it comes to installation and upkeep. This hinders their wider market adoption by making them more inaccessible to smaller utilities and budget-constrained industries.

Market Segmentation

The United States gas insulated switchgear (GCB) market share is classified into installation type and configuration.

• The indoor segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States gas insulated switchgear (GCB) market is segmented by installation type into indoor and outdoor. Among these, the indoor segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The countrys rapid urbanization will be the cause of this, as it reduces the amount of space available for large electrical T&D equipment. As a result, indoor GIS is commonly installed underground or inside buildings, particularly in crowded urban areas. Additionally, GIS for indoor use is being technologically enhanced to provide cost-effectiveness and adhere to noise and environmental regulations.

• The compact GIS segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.

The United States gas insulated switchgear (GCB) market is segmented by configuration into hybrid, isolated phase, integrated three phase, and compact GIS. Among these, the compact GIS segment held a significant share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The demand for compact GIS is primarily driven by the high level of urbanization because cities have limited space. In order to ensure that the power supply stays steady with minimal maintenance, Compact GIS is also made to be robust and dependable.
