Key Market Trends & Insights from the Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) Market Report 

By Insulation Type, the SF6-based GIS segment captured the largest share of approximately 62% in 2025. SF6 (sulphur hexafluoride) is widely adopted for its non-toxic, inert, colorless, and non-flammable properties, providing superior phase-to-ground and phase-to-phase insulation in both transmission and distribution systems. SF6-based GIS continues to dominate due to its high dielectric strength, reliability, and long operational lifespan in high-voltage substations. 

Indoor Gas Insulated Switchgear is witnessing accelerated adoption in urban and industrial installations. Compact metal-clad and metal-enclosed designs allow deployment in space-constrained environments such as high-rise buildings, metro rail stations, and offshore platforms. Indoor GIS adoption is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2025 to 2032, driven by its enhanced safety, low maintenance, and reduced operational costs compared to outdoor systems. 

Power Transmission Utility Segment remains the fastest-growing end-user segment, accounting for over 45% of total GIS deployment in 2025. Rising electricity demand from industrialization, expanding urban centers, and the integration of renewable energy projects such as solar and wind farms are propelling the market. High-voltage GIS adoption is crucial for grid stability, efficient load management, and HVDC transmission systems. 

Regional Insights reveal that the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region dominated the GIS market in 2025, contributing nearly 40% of global revenues, led by China, India, Japan, and South Korea. Factors driving growth include the rapid expansion of power infrastructure, modernization of aged substations, and government investments in smart grid projects. The adoption of GIS in Indian railway electrification and urban metro projects is particularly noteworthy. 

Hybrid and Eco-Friendly GIS Technologies are emerging as a key trend in the market. Manufacturers are developing hybrid solutions combining air-insulated and gas-insulated designs to reduce SF6 dependency and improve cost efficiency. Research on eco-friendly insulating gases like CF3I and Novec 4710 is gaining traction to comply with environmental regulations while maintaining high dielectric performance. 

Digital and Smart Grid Integration is becoming a cornerstone of GIS innovation. Modern GIS units are increasingly equipped with IoT-enabled sensors, predictive maintenance systems, and remote monitoring capabilities, allowing utilities to reduce downtime, optimize operations, and integrate renewable energy sources more efficiently. 

Key Market Players leading the GIS industry include Siemens AG, ABB Ltd., General Electric (GE), Schneider Electric, Toshiba Corporation, Hitachi Energy, and CG Power and Industrial Solutions Ltd. These companies dominate through continuous R&D, product innovation, strategic partnerships, and expansion in emerging markets. For instance, ABB’s Emax 2 GIS solution and Siemens’ SIPROTEC monitoring systems are widely recognized for their reliability, automation, and safety features.
