Global Electric Power Substation Automation Market Size Study & Forecast, by Type (Transmission Substation, Distribution Substation), by Offering (Software, Hardware, Services), by Component (Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), Programmable logic controller (PLC), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Others), and Regional Analysis, 2023-2030

Global Electric Power Substation Automation Market is valued at approximately USD 4.4 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.5% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Electric Power Substation Automation involves deploying advanced technologies such as Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), communication networks, and automation software to enhance the control, monitoring, and efficiency of power substations. These substations play a major role in the power grid by facilitating the transmission, distribution, and transformation of electricity. It enables real-time data exchange, remote operation, and integration of renewable energy sources, contributing to improved reliability and operational efficiency in the power grid. The surge in demand for reliable power supply, rising integration of renewable energy sources, and increasing reliance on electricity for critical infrastructure are the key factors that are primarily attributed to the market demand across the globe.

In addition, the rising emphasis on grid modernization is acting as a catalyzing factor for the market demand at a substantial rate. There are various countries globally that are heavily investing in grid modernization to enhance the reliability and efficiency of power distribution networks. For instance, in November 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is allocating USD 13 billion, as part of the President's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, for the expansion and enhancement of the national electric grid. This funding, distributed through the Grid Resilience Innovative Partnership (GRIP) program, encompasses the Transmission Facilitation Program (TFP). Representing the largest federal investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure, the initiative includes USD 3 billion for Smart Grid Grants to enhance the electric power system's capacity and prevent faults. Additionally, USD 2.5 billion is reserved for Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants, addressing various hazards such as wildfires, hurricanes, extreme weather, floods, and storms. This substantial investment is a significant step in the administration's Building a Better Grid Initiative, aiming for a total investment exceeding USD 20 billion. Automation improves the efficiency of power distribution, reduces downtime, and enhances the overall reliability of the grid. Grid modernization initiatives aim to transform traditional power grids into smart grids. Substation automation is a fundamental component of smart grids, enabling real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of the power distribution process. Thus, these aforementioned factors are propelling the growth of the Electric Power Substation Automation Market over the estimated period. Moreover, the rapid advancements in communication technologies, as well as increasing investments in power infrastructure by governments and private entities present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the high initial investment required, and complexity associated with integration are challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
