The company's product portfolio within this segment also encompasses circuit breakers, sensing devices, solar power solutions, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. The Electrification Products segment accounted for 48% of the company’s revenue in 2022. ABB has a strong presence in Europe, with the region contributing 34% to the company’s total revenue in 2022. The company also has global operations and generates its remaining revenue from the Middle East, Asia Pacific, South America, North America, and Africa. The company offers switchgear products under its Electrification Products business segment, which accounted for 47% of the company’s total revenue in 2022.

Schneider Electric is a leading company specializing in energy management and automation solutions, and it is at the forefront of the digital transformation industry. The company operates through two main segments: Energy Management and Industrial Automation. Within the Energy Management segment, Schneider Electric offers switchgear. This segment harnesses the capabilities of low voltage, medium voltage, and secure power solutions, all sharing a common goal of efficiently and reliably managing energy with similar economic characteristics. Schneider Electric has a strong presence in power equipment offerings and conducts its business through primary divisions, which include medium voltage (infrastructure), low voltage (building), secure power (IT), and industrial automation (industry). The low voltage segment provides a range of products tailored for residential and commercial buildings, industrial settings, infrastructures, and data centers. These products encompass power monitoring devices, power meters, and circuit breakers. The product portfolio within the medium voltage (infrastructure) segment features switchgear and their monitoring systems, power monitoring and control software, transformers, remote control systems, and medium voltage/low voltage substations. In 2022, Schneider Electrics’ growth was driven both by strong market dynamics and strategic choices and positioning. The company’s revenue was at an all-time high, up by 12.2% organically at USD 35.99 billion. The company achieved this by leveraging the higher volumes of 2022, focusing on prices in the face of inflationary pressures, and continued progress on operational efficiency plans.
