The global microgrid market is estimated to project a CAGR of 11.08% during the forecast period, 2022-2030. The market growth is attributed to the microgrids' role in mitigating severe weather, the increasing clean energy integration, and the growing global electricity consumption globally.
A microgrid is a self-sufficient local energy grid with control capability. The rising clean energy integration is one of the key growth drivers of the global microgrid market. As per the June 2022 International Energy Agency (IEA) report on World Energy Investment, around 2% of the clean energy investment increased annually in the five years following the 2015 signing of the Paris Agreement. However, the growth rate has drastically surged to 12% after 2020.
Also, the investment is supplemented by the emergence of sustainable finance, especially in industrialized nations, and government assistance. In addition, as per the report, Europe's investment in 2018 was a 7% decrease from 2018. Besides, over 80% of the investments made in the power sector have gone into storage, grids, and renewables. Moreover, the investment is fast-growing in the power industry with regard to grids, energy efficiency, and grids. It entails developing technologies. Such aspects offer growth opportunities for the global microgrid market. However, the market growth is restrained by the expenses involved in the installation and maintenance of microgrids.
The global microgrid market growth assessment includes the geographical evaluation of Asia-Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of World. Asia-Pacific is set to be the largest revenue-generating region in the global market, accredited to the lack of infrastructure and collaboration between the governments, energy companies, and international development agencies.
The market is moderately consolidated, with constantly-evolving technology. Some of the leading firms in the market include National Grid PLC, Hitachi Ltd, Bloom Energy, General Electric Company, etc.
