The power grid system refers to a physical infrastructure designed to deliver electricity from generation sources to end-users. This system consists of generating stations (power plants), a transmission system for long-distance power transfer, and a distribution system for delivering electricity to homes and businesses. The power grid ensures on-demand electricity supply to meet various energy needs.
Within the power grid system market, the main types of power supply include captive generation, wind power, and other power supplies. Captive generating plants are established by individuals, cooperative societies, or associations to primarily generate electricity for their own use. Components of power grid systems include cables, variable speed drives, transformers, and switchgear, applied both on seabeds and land.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and rising trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a substantial impact on the machinery sector, driving up the costs of essential components such as steel, hydraulic systems, and precision bearings many of which are sourced from regions affected by the tariffs. Manufacturers of construction, agricultural, and industrial machinery are now facing tighter profit margins, as existing long-term contracts limit their ability to raise prices immediately. This climate of uncertainty has also led to postponed investments in automation and smart machinery, slowing potential productivity improvements. In response, companies are focusing on developing local suppliers, redesigning products to incorporate alternative materials, and adopting predictive maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and reduce the need for costly replacements.
The power grid system market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides power grid system market statistics, including power grid system industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a power grid system market share, detailed power grid system market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the power grid system industry. This power grid system market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The power grid system market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.81 billion in 2024 to $11.82 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing energy demand, expansion of renewable energy integration, urbanization and infrastructure development, government initiatives and investments, increasing electrification of industries.
The power grid system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.34 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electrification of transportation, global connectivity and interconnection, resilience and reliability requirements, policy support and regulatory frameworks, addressing energy access challenges. Major trends in the forecast period include cybersecurity concerns, decentralization and microgrids, policy and regulatory developments, electrification of industry, aging infrastructure renewal.
The forecast of 11.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through supply chain disruptions for critical components like smart meters and grid sensors, sourced from key regions such as China, Germany, and Finland, which could lead to energy infrastructure modernization delays. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing adoption of subsea power cables is anticipated to drive the expansion of the power grid system market. The increased use of these cables correlates with a higher demand for electricity, particularly as many manufacturing processes are heavily reliant on electric energy. For example, in September 2024, Hanwha Group, a South Korea-based multinational conglomerate, projected that global demand for subsea cables will surge from $4.6 billion in 2022 to $21.3 billion by 2029. Consequently, as the prevalence of subsea power cables continues to rise, the demand for power grid systems is also expected to increase.
The escalating need for a reliable electricity supply is poised to steer the growth of the power grid system market in the foreseeable future. The term 'electricity supply' encompasses the entire process of generating, transmitting, and distributing electrical energy to end-users for diverse applications spanning residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors. Power grid systems play a crucial role in efficiently managing the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy across extensive distances, effectively minimizing energy losses during transmission and incorporating various electricity storage technologies. In June 2023, the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported that electricity sales in the United States reached 3,909 billion kWh (kilowatt-hour), or approximately 3.9 trillion kWh, in 2022-a notable increase from 103 billion kWh in 2021. This underscores the escalating demand for a robust electricity supply, propelling the growth of the power grid system market.
