Digital Substation Market

GMI Research analysis indicates that the Digital Substation Market size was estimated at USD 7.4 billion in 2022 and is slated to register a single digit CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period, and is projected to reach USD 12.6 billion in 2030

Digital Substation Market Overview

Digital substation is a combination of transformers, switchgear, monitoring & diagnostics, substation automation, and standard process, which acts as a significant component in smart grids. Digital substation brings foremost benefits in terms of installation, engineering, operation, and provides real-time measurement of data to control the power flow and keep the grid stable despite of the rapidly changing share of intermittent renewable energy sources. The global market for digital substation has been segmented on the basis of module, type, voltage, industry, and by geographical region.

Major Digital Substation Market Drivers

The key factors driving the growth of the global digital substation market include the rapid expansion of smart grid networks, strong electricity demand, and increasing demand to replace traditional substation technology around the world. It has been observed that the life span of grid infrastructure is between 38-52 days. Post this period, the infrastructure is affected by multiple cosmic breakdowns including, loosening screws and fraying wiring. For instance, in April 2017, power outages took place all across the U.S., wherein Los Angles, New York, and San Francisco were are the major affected areas. In the outage, each area experienced infrastructural problems such as mass transportation, communication networks, supply chains, and shut down in business commerce, resulting in huge monitory loss. Therefore, to eliminate such risks, business are paving their path toward digital substation technology as it offers high-performance digital sensors, shorter installation time, and durability.

Moreover, rapid development in renewable energy projects such as wind and solar is creating growth opportunities for the digital substation market globally. On the other edge, the initial investment in digital substation technology is higher than traditional substation technology, which is likely to hinder the growth of the global digital substation market.

Based on the module, the fibre optic communication network segment is expected to observe a higher CAGR during the forecast period. All the hardware in a substation are connected to each other through a fiber optic cable and ensures that communication of data among modules makes the digital substation system easy to control and efficient. Therefore, the increasing demand of fibre optic communication network during the upcoming years is surging the demand of the segment.

On the basis of type, the distribution substation is projected to dominate the market over the forecast period. This is attributed to the growing industrialization and urbanization across the world. The distribution substation functions at a lower voltage and deliver electric energy directly to residential and industrial sectors.

Based on voltage, up to 220 KV segment would witness a higher CAGR during the forecast period due to a wide range of applications across numerous industries such as power and infrastructure industries. Furthermore, increasing urbanization is rising the demand for energy in cities, which is leading to the growth of the segment. The growing demand for up to 220KV voltage with innovative features would stimulate the growth of the segment in the upcoming years.

Based on industry, the utility segment is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR over the forecast period. This is attributed to the high demand and supply gap in energy in most of the developed and developing countries. Furthermore, the increasing demand for renewable resources such as hydro, wind, and solar to meet customers’ requirements for power generation is proliferating the growth of the utility segment.
