Microgrid Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global microgrid market size reached US$ 28.9 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 54.1 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 10.89% during 2023-2028.

A microgrid is an energy system with interconnected loads and distributed energy resources that operate parallelly or independently from the primary power grid. It mainly consists of fuel cells, wind turbine generators and microturbines, battery storage systems, and photovoltaic generators to deliver electricity from producers to consumers. It helps improve the operation and stability of the electric grid; reduce congestion, fuel utilization, and peak loads; and increase reliability and resilience. As microgrids are more efficient than traditional electrical grids, they can be combined with various renewable sources, such as solar, wind power, small hydro, geothermal, waste-to-energy, and combined heat and power (CHP) systems.

Microgrid Market Trends:
Rising construction activities in the residential and commercial sectors are increasing the consumption of electricity worldwide. This, along with increasing investments by public and private agencies in infrastructural development projects, represents one of the key factors contributing to the market growth. In addition, the rising emphasis on rural electrification is offering lucrative growth opportunities to leading players operating in the industry. Besides this, due to increasing environmental concerns, governments of several countries are undertaking initiatives to establish biopower, solar, and wind energy farms. Apart from this, the growing reliance on modern communication technologies, such as wireless cloud computing, makes power systems susceptible to cyber-attacks and hackers. Therefore, there is a significant rise in the need for a secure network with a continuous power supply. This is driving the demand for microgrids that can function under Island mode and are independent of external power and data transmissions. Moreover, various technological advancements to increase the performance of battery inverters and ensure uninterrupted power supply is projected to drive the market.
