New regulations to reduce/limit power blackouts and strengthen power distribution networks (particularly in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia Pacific) are creating opportunities for power sector equipment. Ring main units are being widely used across the world to proficiently address the increasing requirements for reliable energy. The demand for power generation is also witnessing an upward trend with the rising population in China and India. According to the BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2021, primary energy consumption in the Asia Pacific region was the highest at 45.5% of the total energy consumed. The region is moving toward clean energy on a large scale to meet the growing energy needs efficiently. Major economies such as China, Japan, and India have set ambitious natural gas and solar- and wind-based renewable power generation targets to diversify their energy mix in the coming years. Therefore, efforts are being taken across these countries to upgrade aging infrastructure to ease the integration of renewables in the national grid. The demand for ring main units to control power and provide protection against faults will rise substantially, further driving the growth of the ring main unit market in this region.

Ring Main Unit Market Trends

The ring main unit market has been categorized on the basis of type as gas-insulated, air-insulated, oil-insulated, and solid Dielectric. The gas-insulated segment is likely to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Gas-insulated ring main units use SF6 gas and occupy less space than air- and oil-insulated ring main units. Hence, they are more demanded across utilities. Also, gas-insulated ring main units are easy to maintain and operate. 

By application, the ring main unit market has been segmented into distribution utilities, industrial application, transportation infrastructure, and commercial buildings. The distribution utilities segment is estimated to be the largest ring main unit market during the forecast period. Growing power requirements due to rising population and fast-track urbanization have resulted in the expansion of transmission and distribution networks across the world. The subsequent rise in the number of substations will drive the ring main unit market during the forecast period.
