Description

The Global Smart Grid Cybersecurity Market was valued at USD 7.5 Billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% to reach USD 22.7 Billion by 2034.

The accelerated digital transformation of power systems has broadened the attack surface, ranging from smart meters to distributed energy resources (DERs) and electric vehicle chargers, making cyber resilience a critical consideration in grid design and procurement. Grid modernization and the integration of renewable energy necessitate sophisticated digital control systems, prompting utilities to adopt secure telemetry, edge computing, and coordination platforms. As emerging markets scale and distributed assets proliferate, formal cybersecurity standards are becoming essential. The rise of DERs, solar installations, storage solutions, and EV chargers has increased vulnerability across aggregation platforms and inverter-based resources. Regulators and utilities are responding with harmonized frameworks, AI-driven anomaly detection, and automated incident response to ensure predictive analytics and real-time threat mitigation, though automation also introduces risks such as adversarial AI attacks.
