Distribution Automation Market
Distribution Automation Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Component (Field Devices, and Software & Services), by Communication Technology (Wireless and Wired), and by Utility (Public and Private) Forecast Period (2023-2030)
Distribution automation market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. The growth of the market is attributed to factors such as the increasing adoption of advanced technologies and the requirement for efficient power distribution systems. The deployment of smart grids while emphasizing on grid reliability and operational efficiency are some other factors fueling the demand for distribution automation. For instance, in October 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Grid Deployment Office (GDO), in collaboration with the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), released a Request for Information (RFI) for the $10.5 billion Grid Resilience and Innovation Partnerships Program (GRIP). The Grip allocates $10.5 billion over 5 years to prevent outages and enhance the resilience of the electric grid, deploy technologies to enhance grid flexibility, improve the resilience of the power system against growing threats of extreme weather and climate change, and demonstrate innovative approaches to power sector infrastructure resilience and reliability.
Segmental Outlook
The global distribution automation market is segmented based on its components, communication technology, and utility. Based on its components, the market is segmented into field devices, software, and services. Based on communication technology, the market is bifurcated into wireless (radio frequency mesh, cellular networks, WiMAX) and wired (fiber optic, Ethernet, powerline carrier, and IP). Further, based on utility, the market is sub-segmented into public and private. Among the components, the field devices sub-segment is anticipated to hold a prominent market share due to the increasing deployment of sensors and automation devices in power distribution systems.
The Public Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Grow at a Considerable CAGR Over the Forecast Period
Among the utility segment, the public sub-segment is anticipated to register significant growth for the forecast period. The growth of the public sub-segment is attributed to the factors such as the growing requirement for grid modernization and investment by the government across regions. For instance, in September 2022, the US Department of Energy (DOE) revealed a $10.5 billion program for smart grids and other upgrades to strengthen the country’s electricity grid.
Regional Outlooks
The global distribution automation market is further segmented based on geography, including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, Europe is anticipated to cater to a prominent growth over the forecast period due to the presence of well-established power distribution infrastructure and the implementation of smart grid initiatives. However, the Asia-Pacific region is projected to experience considerable growth in the distribution automation market due to increasing urbanization, industrialization, and the demand for reliable power distribution systems.
Global Distribution Automation Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030
North America is Anticipated to Hold a Significant Share in the Global Distribution Automation Market
North America is anticipated to hold a significant share of the global distribution automation market during the forecast period. The regional market growth is primarily driven by factors such as the increasing demand for energy management solutions, and the presence of key market players in the region. These market players are making significant investments in distribution automation in the region which is anticipated to propel the market growth. For instance, in April 2023, ABB is accelerating its growth strategy in the US by investing approximately $170 million in manufacturing, innovation, and distribution operations. ABB has revealed its commitment to grow in the US by investing in its electrification and automation businesses that meet increased demand from industry-leading customers while supporting the clean energy transition and the trend towards reshoring of production. This commitment is highlighted by the pouring of the concrete foundations for a greenfield drives and services facility in New Berlin, Wisconsin. The US is ABB’s largest market, comprising 24% of the company’s annual revenue.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global distribution automation market include ABB Ltd., Aclara Technologies LLC, Advanced Control Systems, Cisco Systems, Inc., Eaton Corp. plc, and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in April 2022, ABB Ltd. acquired ASKI Industrie Elektronik GmbH (ASKI Energy) of Austria for expanding ABB’s digital energy management portfolio, which further accelerates the development of ABB’s ecosystem of digital energy services. The acquisition will further enable to bring new energy optimization, control features, and technologies to the market. It will also drive the introduction of more advanced energy management solutions for smart grids, solar, electric vehicle charging, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and demand-side management.
