Smart Grid Network Market Size

Smart Grid Market Analysis

The global smart grid network market is expected to record a CAGR of more than 11% during the forecast period, 2022-2027. The COVID-19 pandemic had slowed the growth of the smart grid market, as various countries across the world were forced to implement strict lockdowns during the first half of 2020. Governments and local authorities issued strict guidelines, and all non-essential operations were halted. This adversely affected the smart grid market owing to the suspension of end-user activities. Factors such as increased investment and deployment of smart grid technologies such as smart meters, EV chargers, and other associated smart grid infrastructure technologies are expected to drive the market in the coming years. However, low accessibility to electricity in underdeveloped nations across the world and poor government regulations and initiatives for expanding and modernizing the grid infrastructure are expected to limit the growth of the market studied during the forecast period.

• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period due to the increasing deployment of smart grid technologies across the world's developed and emerging economies.
• Governments of both emerging and underdeveloped nations worldwide are increasingly viewing smart grid technology as a strategic infrastructural investment that will sustain their long-term economic prosperity and help them achieve their carbon emission reduction targets. This, in turn, is expected to provide an ample amount of opportunities to the companies involved in the smart grid network market in the near future.
• Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period, with the majority of the demand coming from China, India, and Japan.
