Microgrid Market Size

Microgrid Market Analysis

The Microgrid Market size is estimated at USD 15.92 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 38.12 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 19.08% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

In 2020, the market was negatively impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Q1 2020, key countries like the United States and India witnessed the lowest microgrid installations in the last four years. The microgrid market is expected to have a robust growth during the forecast period, primarily due to two main factors, i.e., the global demand for clean energy generation and a self-sufficient source of power generation in times of crisis or grid disconnection. However, the microgrid market is likely to be hindered by high capital cost and technical design problems as the developers have to ensure a symbiotic relationship between the main grid and the microgrid if the microgrid is connected to the grid.

• The off-grid systems are projected to dominate the microgrid market, particularly to address the issue of interconnection approvals from the utilities.
• The innovation-oriented endeavors and the funding feasibility studies in many countries are the biggest opportunities for the microgrid market. Apart from independent power generation, microgrids have evolved with high-speed control platforms and forecasting systems that make them more sophisticated. Several national and international forums are in contention on many variables, like cost and funding issues, to develop the market.
• The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period due to a high rate of electrification, mainly for rural or semi-urban areas.
