Localization Of Low Voltage Switchgear Production

This opportunity entails setting up an assembly plant for Low Voltage Switchgear (MCCB and ACB).

KSA has massive plans to increase transmission capacity, amounting to ~69,000 Ckt km of high voltage lines and ~250,000 MVA of high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030). Similarly, planned additional distribution capacity to amount to ~69,000 Ckt km for high voltage lines and ~219,000 MVA for high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030).

Beyond KSA, major regional capacity additions are planned to service the double-fold regional demand growth. Plans to increase regional transmission capacity beyond KSA amount to ~259,000 Ckt km of high voltage lines and ~775,000 MVA of high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030). Similarly, planned additional distribution capacity to amount to ~1.9 million Ckt km for high voltage lines and ~819,000 MVA for high voltage substations (cumulative 2017 – 2030).

The KSA LV switchgear market is estimated at USD 183 million in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8%, to reach a value of USD 518 million by 2030.

With forecasted market growth, multiple opportunities exist to localize the LV switchgear production value chain. The main focus of this opportunity is on manufacturing and assembly of LV switchgears:

  • Manufacturing: pressing, forming and winding of copper parts, spot welding, injection molding of plastics, printing, out working, PCB assembling, dipping
  • Assembly: combined assembly of copper parts, PCB assembly, electrical and electronic components

However, opportunities also exist in LV switchgear testing which includes,

  • Inspection, testing for short circuit, voltage test, quality tests
