Global Substation Automation Market is valued at approximately USD 154,876 million in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.5% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Substation Automation refers to the integration of various control, protection, and monitoring functions within an electrical substation through advanced technologies and communication systems. The goal of substation automation is to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and safety of power distribution and management. The Substation Automation market is expanding because of factors such as increasing demand for electric and hybrid vehicles and rapid urbanization. As a result, the demand for Substation Automation has progressively increased in the international market during the forecast period 2023-2030.
Electric vehicles require charging infrastructure, which places additional demands on the electrical grid. Substation automation helps manage the increased power demand by optimizing energy distribution, load balancing, and scheduling charging times to prevent grid overloads. According to Statista, it is estimated that 2022 saw plug-in electric light sales of around 10.2 million units. Furthermore, about 2.9 million new plug-in hybrid electric cars were sold worldwide in 2022. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle sales accounted for around 28.4% of electric vehicle sales in 2022. Another important factor that drives the Substation Automation market is rapid urbanization. Urban areas experience higher population densities and economic activities, leading to greater energy consumption. Substation automation helps utilities manage the increased demand by optimizing energy distribution, load balancing, and improving grid efficiency. In addition, as per Statista, high-income countries are projected to have 88.4% of their populations living in urban areas by 2050. Moreover, rising demand for electric power and growing investments in renewable energy projects are anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period. However, the high initial cost of Substation Automation and technical complexity are going to impede overall market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
The key regions considered for the Global Substation Automation Market study includes Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to the increasing popularity and adoption of advanced intelligent electronic devices & communication technologies in the region. The region’s dominant performance is anticipated to propel the overall demand for Substation Automation. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow fastest over the forecast period, owing to factors such as increasing demand for rural electrification and adoption of equipment facilitating safety and better operation of the substation in the region.
