The high initial investment required for gas-insulated AC switchgear installations is a major restraint for market growth, particularly in developing regions with limited capital resources.
Stringent government regulations regarding the use of sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in gas-insulated switchgear pose a challenge for market expansion, as SF6 is a potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential.
