Smart Electric Grid Market Size, Trends and Growth Forecast (2021-2027) | UnivDatos

According to UnivDatos’ research report “Global Smart Electric Grid Market”, the market is expected to witness a CAGR growth of 15.2% during the forecast period 2021-2027F. Increased investment in smart meters, EV chargers, and other infrastructure technologies, Government policies and financial incentives for Smart Electric Griding Solutions and Technological advancement in the Energy sector are the major factor driving the market for smart electric grid solution globally. However, Low accessibility to electricity especially in the underdeveloped nations and the poor regulations paired with High Initial Costs for deployment would act as major restaining factor for the market growth.

Owing to the growing need for digitalization and decarbonization globally, smart electric grids solutions is expected to play a vital role in helping utility companies in achieving their energy transition and digital transformation goals. Benefits of smart electric grid infrastructure include but not limited to energy saving, cost reduction and increasing reliability, among others. Smart electric grid infrastructure is also essential for transitioning to a low-carbon electricity grid that includes intermittent renewable generation, such as utility-scale wind and solar, and smaller-scale DERs. Digitalization of power distribution grids and optimization of network operations is one of the major driver for the growth of Smart Electric Grid solution globally. As per a top market research firm, only 10% of the Smart Meters shipped in 2018 were equipped with cellular IoT; however, the number is expected to increase to 30% by 2025.
