The global flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) market size was estimated at USD 1.35 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 2.32 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.24% from 2025 to 2033. The increasing integration of renewable energy sources, coupled with the growing need to enhance grid reliability and transmission efficiency, drives the expansion of the flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) industry.
These systems enable dynamic voltage control, improve power quality, and enhance the transfer capacity of existing transmission lines without requiring costly infrastructure upgrades. Rising electricity demand, grid congestion issues, and the global shift toward decarbonization are further promoting FACTS deployment. Moreover, advancements in power electronics, such as voltage source converters (VSCs) and smart grid technologies, enhance system flexibility and reduce overall operating costs, positioning FACTS as a vital solution for modern power networks.
In North America, market growth is primarily driven by investments in grid modernization and renewable energy integration. Federal and state-level programs encouraging smart grid development and incorporating flexible transmission systems are fostering regional adoption. The United States remains a major contributor to the market, with utilities implementing FACTS technologies to enhance grid stability amid rising renewable penetration and aging infrastructure. In addition, the growing participation of private players and independent system operators in deploying advanced grid solutions is expected to strengthen regional market growth throughout the forecast period.
Europe represents a key growth hub for the flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS) industry, with countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom, and France leading deployment efforts supported by stringent energy transition policies and ambitious carbon reduction goals. The region's growing renewable capacity, particularly in offshore wind and solar, necessitates efficient transmission management, fueling demand for FACTS solutions in voltage stability, reactive power compensation, and congestion mitigation. Continuous innovation, supported by EU-backed research initiatives and cross-border grid integration projects, propels market development. Furthermore, collaboration among transmission system operators (TSOs), technology providers, and energy regulators continues to enhance Europe's leadership position in the global FACTS landscape.
