The article authored by Saifa Khalid, Senior Analyst at PTR Inc. highlights that switchgear plays a critical role in the energy industry by ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electrical power systems. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) holds a significant share in the HV switchgear market, valued at USD 1.3 billion in 2022 and projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 8.57% from 2023 to 2030. This growth is driven by strategic initiatives such as direct procurement by the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), the nation’s primary electricity provider, which began bulk purchasing HV switchgear after 2015 to streamline costs. The market is characterized by a three-tiered ecosystem involving international suppliers, channel partners, and end users. With limited local manufacturing capabilities, KSA relies heavily on leading international firms like Hitachi Energy, Hyundai, and Siemens Energy for advanced HV switchgear technologies. This dynamic market plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of electrical power systems across the region. 

The HV switchgear market in KSA is set for significant growth driven by government infrastructure investments, the integration of renewable energy, and rising electricity needs. International suppliers face a dynamic environment where adapting to market shifts, embracing technology advancements, and focusing on localization strategies are key to seizing growth prospects. While global players dominate, understanding procurement strategies of major buyers like SEC and prioritizing local presence will be critical for sustained success in KSA’s HV switchgear market.
