Distribution Feeder Automation System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Software, Hardware), Type (Low, Medium, High), Application, and By Geography

Distribution Feeder Automation System Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Software, Hardware), Type (Low, Medium, High), Application, and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Distribution Feeder Automation System Market is accounted for $4.18 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $7.48 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. Automation in the distribution field allows utilities to carry bendable control of the distribution system, which could be utilized for the purpose of improving the efficiency, quality, and reliability of electric service. The automation systems for distribution feeders give real-time data for continuous monitoring, allowing operators to further develop service quality and decrease downtime.

Increasing demand for reliable and uninterrupted supply by consumers has led to a rise in the use of advanced technologies. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global energy demand is set to increase by 4.6% in 2021, more than offsetting the 4% contraction in 2020 and pushing demand above 2019 levels. Thus, the energy consumption is likely to increase further in the forecast period and may drive the utility sector in the distribution feeder automation system market.
