Global Gas Insulated Switchgear Market 2014-2018 with ABB Ltd, Alstom SA & Siemens AG Dominating
M2 - Fri Apr 11, 4:54AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4c9l4x/global_gas) has announced the addition of the "Global Gas Insulated Switchgear Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Gas Insulated Switchgear market will grow at a CAGR of 10.54 percent over the period 2013-2018. The growth of the Global Gas Insulated Switchgear market is driven by several factors, one of which is increasing urbanization and space constraints in metropolitan cities. Because of increasing urbanization in major metropolitan cities, the need to reduce space occupancy costs by industrial and commercial organizations is also rising. The Global Gas Insulated Switchgear market is expected to focus largely on developing smaller and energy efficient gas insulated switchgears. Many key manufacturers such as ABB Ltd., Alstom S.A., and Siemens AG increased their R&D budget in order to meet the growing demand. The main reasons for this are space constraints and the rising cost of energy. Although the investments made in developing technically upgraded gas insulated switchgears is high, the future benefits of these products will provide companies with an advantage over their competitors and the products will also increase the market share of the Global Gas Insulated Switchgear market. Further, the report states that a sizable proportion of gas insulated switchgear manufacturing costs is reliant on raw material costs, which have witnessed a considerable increase over the past couple of years. The costs of copper, carbon steel, electrical steel, stainless steel, and aluminum have increased drastically due to the rising demand-supply gap. This increase in the cost of raw materials and adherence to competitive pricing strategies to maintain market share has reduced the profit margins of vendors. Thus, the increasing cost of raw materials is hampering the growth of the Global Gas Insulated Switchgear market. The key vendors dominating this space are: - ABB Ltd. - Alstom SA - Siemens AG. The other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Areva SA - Beikai Electric Co. Ltd - Hitachi Ltd. - Mitsubishi Electric Corp. - Toshiba Corp.
