Global Gas Insulated Switchgear Market Expected to Reach $8.61 Billion by 2020

The global gas insulated switchgear (GIS) market is expected to show steady growth in the future and reach $8.61 billion in 2020 from $5.23 billion in 2015. In the emerging economies of Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, extensive power plant capacity additions, economic growth, and the need to improve access to electricity are driving grid expansion and the GIS market. In developed economies like North America and Europe, the need to upgrade the existing aging transmission network is also driving the GIS market. Globally countries are establishing cross-border networks and renewable installations to have a secure and reliable power which is driving the GIS market, especially in the high voltage segment.

Smaller Footprint and Higher Reliability to Drive the GIS Market

The major factors driving the growth of the global GIS market are increasing urbanization and growing space constraints near load centers. Land cost is very high in the densely populated urban regions where new substation or capacity addition is very difficult. Therefore, utilities prefer GIS which can be fitted into an existing building or underground, consuming much less space than Air Insulated Switchgear (AIS), without disturbing the aesthetics of the region.

Another major factor is the high reliability which provides easy operation and maintenance as all components are enclosed in a single gastight compartment. Globally utilities focus on increasing the reliability of T&D networks which drives the GIS market. Moreover, the world’s rising electricity demand is leading to increased investment in the expansion of T&D networks. In the future, GIS manufacturing companies are expected to bring smaller and more efficient switchgear into the market. Due to growing environmental concerns about sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas, manufacturers introduced models which will extensively curb the leakage of SF6 into the atmosphere. In future SF6 is expected to be replaced by gases with very low global warming potential (GWP) and pilot projects are underway.

The majority of organizations intend to expand in the current market and focus on new product development over the next six months

According to the report’s survey results, the top three priorities over the next six months are expansion in the current market, new product development, and improving operational efficiency, as highlighted by 66%, 51%, and 48% of respondents respectively. Some of the crucial factors such as the growing population, emerging middle class, and the rising demand for both safe food and clean water are likely to intensify the current market expansion within the packaging industry.

Moreover, the growing consumer demand for convenient and portable packaging motivates manufacturers to focus on new product development designs, and water-resistant and eco-friendly properties, which will accelerate the growth of innovative products over the next six months. Evidencing the new product development trend, in September 2016, James Cropper, the premium paper, and packaging products manufacturer based in the UK, developed sustainable molded paper packaging product as an alternative to plastic packaging. The company expects to gain additional revenue by expanding its business in different packaging categories within the country. Furthermore, in October 2016, AR Metallizing, based in Belgium, launched a new SilberBoard packaging solution, a compostable packaging alternative of metallized PET board packaging.

Furthermore, improving operational efficiency is also one of the important priorities for packaging industries as organizations attempting to reduce costs and boost profitability.

Key Highlights –  Global analysis of clothing and footwear retail market

• Over the next five years, Asia-Pacific will further expand its share to 45%+, while mature North American and Western European markets will struggle with slower growth rates.
• Mergers and acquisitions are the major trends across the globe. It is expected to continue as retailers seek growth in new markets, omni-channel, and expand their business model.
• The off-price department stores are becoming popular in developed markets, where high-end shoppers are seeking luxury products at lower prices and are ready to wait for them to become available in these stores.

Americas

• Latin American markets will drive growth in the Americas department stores market, while Canada and the US witness slower growth.
• Chile is the fastest-growing department stores market in the region, driven by growing disposable incomes, expansion of department stores, and the entry of new retailers via concessions.
• In North America, major department store chains, such as Sears and Macy’s, are struggling to remain profitable due to shifting consumer attitudes towards savings. To seek growth, department stores are opening off-price formats, integrating innovative technological features in-store, promotions, and customer engagement.

Europe

• Cautious spending continues among Western European consumers following the Eurozone crisis and now Brexit. These factors along with demand for fast fashion will contribute to the growth of the off-price format in major European markets as shoppers increase savings.
• Central and Eastern European markets will be the major force behind regional department stores’ retail sales growth. To tap this opportunity, retailers are entering the market or expanding their existing store network. Increasing disposable income, fashion awareness, and the popularity of local brands will be key influencing factors.
• However, growing preference for the online channel will be a challenge for department stores.

Asia Pacific

• Growing middle classes in Indonesia, China, and India will fuel growth in the region.
• Chinese department stores are transforming into activity centers to attract higher footfalls amid the rising popularity of the online channel. However, an ongoing urbanization trend, rising disposable income levels, and a growing middle class will support the growth in future.
• An emerging middle-class population, a young workforce, and increasing popularity of private labels will contribute to department store sales in India.
• Retailers are also opening new stores in the region to offer a high-end shopping experience and better brand visibility to luxury retailers.

Middle East and Africa

• Increasing young and urban populations drive demand for the category in the region.
• Young consumers, a growing economy, rising incomes, and an appetite for buying will drive the Saudi Arabian department stores retail market.

In the UAE, sales are thriving on the back of good economic conditions and a high tourist inflow, which is bolstered by the presence of major luxury brands.

Homeland security expenditure expected to record a CAGR of 12.35% during the forecast period

Ghanaian homeland security expenditure increased from US$186.4 million in 2012 to US$319 million in 2016, registering a CAGR of 14.39% during the historic period. Threats from the increasing influence of terrorist groups Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and Boko Haram in neighborhood coupled with increased drug trafficking are expected to drive focus on homeland security expenditure over the forecast period. In order to counter these threats, the country must invest in surveillance and intelligence technologies such as electronic identification documents, e-passports, automated border crossing systems, bio-metric identification, and CCTV (closed circuit television) systems, which are expected to be covered under homeland security expenditure. The Ghanaian homeland security budget is estimated to increase at a CAGR of 12.35% over the forecast period, increasing from US$389.3 million in 2017 to US$620.2 million by 2021.

Ghana does not define an offset policy

Ghana has not yet mentioned any offset policies for defense procurement, and does not allow FDI in critical industries involved in the production of arms, ammunition, and military wares. As the country prohibits FDI in the defense sector, direct selling is the only market entry route available for foreign defense operators.

Corruption and the country’s small defense budget are key challenges for market entry

The country is expected to allocate a relatively low US$177.1 million to defense expenditure in 2016, which acts as a barrier to foreign operators aiming to supply defense equipment to Ghana’s Ministry of Defense (MoD). Corruption, which may result in the unfair allocation of contracts, can also limit market entry.
