growth.
- Saudi Arabia is estimated to be the largest
region and accounted for over 40% of the overall Middle East switchgears
market in 2013. Economic growth in Saudi Arabia across various sectors
such as power, infrastructure, petrochemicals and water & waste water
is favoring the Middle East switchgears market. UAE and Qatar are expected
to grow at a considerable rate over the forecast period. Rapid
infrastructure developments in these countries are expected to contribute
to market growth.
- Key market participants include ABB Ltd, Bharat
Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), Alstom, Crompton Greaves, Siemens AG,
General Electric, Schneider Electric etc. Cost effective products and
after sales services are expected to be a critical success factor for
industry participants. ABB Ltd. serves various industries including
mining, oil & gas, nuclear power, wind power, marine etc., and is a
major player in the Middle East switchgear markets. Siemens AG offers
