Overall Overview of the Low-Voltage Switchgear Market Size
The low-voltage switchgear market represents the largest fundamental segment of the low- and medium-voltage switchgear industry, yet its growth momentum has significantly slowed down, and the industry has entered a competition stage dominated by existing stock. From 2015 to 2025, the market size of China's low-voltage switchgear increased from 110.99 billion RMB to 132.12 billion RMB, with a 10-year CAGR of approximately 1.8%, maintaining moderate overall growth. However, after reaching a phased peak in 2021, the market experienced continuous low-speed adjustments from 2022 to 2025. This reflects the weakening demand in real estate, construction, and traditional industrial projects, as well as the market drag caused by price competition among panel manufacturers, project delays, and payment collection pressures.
Post-2025, the low-voltage switchgear market is expected to maintain low-speed and steady growth, making it difficult to rely solely on total volume expansion to drive widespread corporate growth. Future opportunities will focus more on stock replacement, localized retrofits, and structural projects. The competition focus for panel manufacturers will shift from "competing on price and delivery" to "competing on customer structure, industry scenarios, and comprehensive service capabilities."
Low-Voltage Switchgear Market Size -- Sub-Segments by Product
The low-voltage switchgear equipment market covers multiple sub-segments, among which main distribution boards and sub-distribution boards remain the core products, accounting for a combined 95.5% in 2025. The market size for main distribution boards reached 88.92 billion RMB, accounting for 67.3%; the market size for sub-distribution boards was 37.28 billion RMB, accounting for 28.2%. Consumer units are primarily used in construction scenarios. Affected by the weak demand in real estate and new residential construction, their market size was 5.92 billion RMB, accounting for 4.5%, and overall performance remains relatively under pressure.
Medium-Voltage Switchgear Market Size -- Sub-Segments by Industry
From the perspective of downstream structure, the demand for low-voltage switchgear is still dominated by power grids and industrial fields. The contraction in construction demand remains the primary source of pressure. Projects in power investment, industrial supporting facilities, and municipal infrastructure impose higher requirements on main distribution capabilities, customized design, and delivery services, driving switchgear manufacturers to shift from pure price competition to comprehensive project capability competition.
