The global HVDC converter station market size was valued at USD 12.17 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2025 to 2030. An increasing demand for efficient long-distance power transmission is significantly driving the growth of the HVDC converter station industry.
HVDC technology offers lower power losses over long distances compared to traditional AC transmission, making it ideal for connecting remote renewable energy sources to population centers. For example, the Rio Madeira HVDC system in Brazil transmits hydroelectric power over 2,375 km, demonstrating the technology's capability in long-distance transmission.
Additionally, growing focus on renewable energy integration and grid interconnection is anticipated to positively influence the market over the forecast period. As countries aim to increase their renewable energy capacity, HVDC converter stations play a vital role in connecting offshore wind farms and solar parks to the main grid. For example, the DolWin alpha converter station in the North Sea connects multiple offshore wind farms to the German grid, showcasing how HVDC technology facilitates the integration of renewable sources.
Moreover, the need for grid stability and power flow control is also propelling the growth of the market. HVDC systems offer better control over power flow, which is especially important in interconnecting asynchronous grids or stabilizing weak AC systems. For example, the Pacific DC Intertie in the U.S., connecting the Pacific Northwest and Southern California, not only transmits power but also enhances grid stability during peak demand periods. Additionally, the increasing adoption of smart grid technologies and the modernization of aging power infrastructure in many countries are creating opportunities for HVDC converter station deployments.
