Based on type, the market has been categorized into transmission substations and distribution substations. Amongst these, the distribution substations category is expected to witness a robust CAGR during the forecast period. It is mainly owing to the increasing energy demand from the industrial sector, across the globe. For instance, as per the International Energy Outlook, worldwide industrial sector energy consumption is projected to increase by an average of 1.2%/year, from 222 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2012 to 309 quadrillion Btu in 2040. Furthermore, the rising trend toward the adoption of a renewable energy mix coupled with the growing demand for efficient lines and towers with minimal energy losses is further expected to strengthen the demand for substation automation during the forecast period.
“Amongst Industry, utility sector accounted for the majority share in the global substation automation market”
Based on industry, the market is classified into utility, heavy industries, transportation, and others. In 2020, the utility sector accounted for the majority share in the market owing to increasing government investments in sponsoring renewable sources coupled with surging investment by energy service providers on the up-gradation of transmission and distribution networks across geographies. Moreover, factors such as surging population, coupled with investments in microgrid technology, renewables, and other advanced technologies are driving the transmission and distribution utilities. In addition, with rising investment in hydrogen, renewable natural gas, fuel cells, electric vehicle infrastructure, and carbon capture and storage transmission and distributions utilities require effective substation automation systems.
“APAC to witness significant growth during the forecast period”
APAC region has been witnessing some of the largest T&D expansions due to rapidly increasing demand in countries such as India and China. In addition, an upsurge in renewable power generation projects is expected to positively influence the market demand for substation automation systems. China is investing in expanding its existing electricity transmission and distribution systems to cater to the rising electricity demand due to rapid urbanization and industrialization in the country. Thus, the rise in the installation of new transmission lines and new substations to reduce the energy demand and supply gap in major economies of the region is expected to drive the market for substation.
