The Global Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) Market was valued at USD 1.32 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.93%, reaching USD 2.11 billion by 2030. FACTS technologies are advanced power electronics-based systems that improve the efficiency, control, and stability of AC transmission networks. These systems allow utilities to optimize existing transmission infrastructure by dynamically managing power flow, voltage, and network stability without compromising reliability. As power demands grow and grids become more complex due to the integration of renewables, FACTS are becoming essential in enabling high-performance transmission networks while minimizing the need for new physical infrastructure.

Key Market Drivers
Increasing Demand for Grid Stability and Reliability Amid Rising Renewable Energy Integration
The rapid expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar is placing increasing stress on global transmission systems due to their intermittent nature. Maintaining grid stability and power quality under these fluctuating conditions is a pressing concern for utilities. FACTS devices-such as Static Var Compensators (SVCs), Static Synchronous Compensators (STATCOMs), and Unified Power Flow Controllers (UPFCs)-offer dynamic reactive power support and voltage regulation in real time. Their ability to mitigate power disturbances and enhance grid reliability makes them a vital solution for accommodating the variability of renewable energy and ensuring consistent power delivery across transmission networks.
Key Market Challenges
High Initial Capital Investment and Cost Sensitivity
A key obstacle in the widespread adoption of FACTS technologies is the significant upfront investment required for system deployment. Devices like SVCs, STATCOMs, and UPFCs demand high costs not only for the equipment itself but also for the associated engineering, installation, and supporting infrastructure. These include complex components such as power converters, reactors, and advanced control systems. For many developing regions with limited funding for power infrastructure upgrades, these financial constraints make traditional alternatives more appealing. The high cost barrier often slows adoption, particularly where short-term solutions are prioritized over long-term grid optimization.
Key Market Trends
Integration of FACTS with Renewable Energy Systems
One of the most notable trends in the FACTS market is the increased incorporation of these technologies into renewable energy projects. As the global energy landscape shifts toward clean energy sources, the variability of wind and solar generation introduces new challenges for maintaining grid stability and power quality. FACTS solutions-such as STATCOMs, SVCs, and series compensation devices-play a crucial role in supporting voltage control, reactive power balance, and efficient energy transfer. Countries including India, China, Germany, and the United States are actively deploying FACTS in conjunction with large-scale renewables to ensure stable power transmission from remote generation areas to end-users.
