Digital Utility Market Forecasts to 2030 – Global Analysis By Network (Transmission & Distribution, Generation and Retail), Technology (Hardware and Integrated Solutions), End User and By Geography


According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Digital Utility Market is accounted for $239 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $599 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 14.0% during the forecast period. Digital utility refers to solutions that are spatially enabled and highly configurable, built from a combination of real-world, project-tested services and leveraged software. Digital utility enhances efficiency by automating processes, reducing manual tasks, and optimizing workflows. This leads to faster and more accurate outcomes, saving time and resources.

According to the Energy Information Administration of the United States (EIA), by 2050, renewable energy is expected to account for nearly half of global electricity production.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Energy efficiency demands

Energy efficiency demands serve as a compelling driver in the digital utility market, driving utilities to embrace advanced technologies for optimized energy consumption and distribution. With an increasing global focus on sustainability and environmental conservation, there is a growing imperative for utilities to operate more efficiently and reduce their carbon footprint. Moreover, digital solutions play a pivotal role in meeting these demands by offering sophisticated tools for monitoring, analyzing, and optimizing energy usage.

Restraint:

High initial costs

The deployment of advanced digital technologies, such as smart grids, IoT devices, and sophisticated data analytics, often requires substantial upfront investments. These costs encompass the acquisition of cutting-edge hardware, software development, integration, and comprehensive training programs for personnel. Moreover, the transition from traditional to digital utilities often involves the replacement or retrofitting of existing infrastructure, which can escalate expenses. As a result, high initial costs are a significant factor hindering market expansion.

Opportunity:

Smart grid implementation

Implementation involves the integration of sensors, communication networks, and control mechanisms, enabling real-time monitoring and control of energy flow within the grid. Smart grids enhance grid reliability by detecting and responding to issues instantly, minimizing downtime, and improving overall performance. Furthermore, they facilitate bidirectional communication between utilities and end-users, empowering consumers with insights into their energy usage and enabling participation in demand response programs.

Threat:

Data security and privacy concerns

Data security and privacy concerns constitute significant restraints in the digital utility market, hindering its expansion. The integration of smart grids, IoT devices, and data analytics platforms creates potential vulnerabilities leading to service disruptions, data breaches, or compromises of critical infrastructure. However, as utilities increasingly rely on interconnected systems and collect vast amounts of sensitive consumer data, the risk of cyber threats and unauthorized access becomes pronounced.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the digital utility market. As lockdowns and social distancing measures were implemented globally, utilities faced challenges maintaining on-site staffing for essential operations. Additionally, the need for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) became more apparent, allowing utilities to monitor energy consumption remotely and engage in real-time demand response during the pandemic.

The hardware segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The hardware segment is estimated to hold the largest share. Key hardware elements include smart meters, sensors, communication devices, and computing equipment. These devices provide real-time data on energy consumption, facilitating accurate billing, demand response programs, and efficient grid management. Moreover, these devices enable the seamless transfer of data, supporting functions like remote monitoring, control, and secure data transmission.

The aerospace and defence segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The aerospace and defence segment is anticipated to have lucrative growth during the forecast period. The aerospace and defense industries leverage digital utilities to enhance communication, data security, and strategic decision-making. Furthermore, the integration of secure communication networks ensures reliable and encrypted data transfer, which is vital for military operations and national security. Digital utilities aid in optimizing resource management, streamlining logistics, and enhancing situational awareness.

Region with largest share:

North America commanded the largest market share during the extrapolated period owing to rapid urbanization, burgeoning populations, and increasing energy demand. Smart grid implementations, including advanced metering systems and distribution automation, have become prevalent across the region, allowing utilities to optimize grid operations and improve service reliability. As the region continues to evolve, utilities are leveraging digital advancements to meet rising energy demands and contribute to a sustainable energy landscape.

Region with highest CAGR:

Asia Pacific is expected to witness profitable growth over the projection period. The Asia-Pacific digital utility market is characterized by a strong emphasis on renewable energy integration. As countries in the region undergo rapid urbanization and economic growth, utilities are increasingly turning to digital solutions to modernize their infrastructure and improve operational efficiency. Moreover, the deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors further contributes to real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and overall grid optimization.
