Utility asset management enables electric utilities to manage critical assets, tracking age, usage, maintenance history, and a range of other variables. Utility asset management consists of web-connected smart devices that obtain, analyze, and process data collected from their surroundings using embedded systems including sensors, processors, and communication hardware. When implemented into industries and organizations that rely heavily on usage of their assets, an asset management tool can help to better manage and maintain mission-critical equipment across entire operations. Furthermore, the key factors that drive the utilities asset management market trends include rise in energy demand, aging infrastructure, increase in distributed energy resources, and need for efficient and reliable energy. However, factors such as lack of skilled workforce and high cost of implementation of asset management in the utilities sector are expected to hamper the utilities asset management market growth. On the contrary, adoption of IoT and AI technology in utility asset management for better insights is expected to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion during the Utilities Asset Management Market Forecast.

By component, the hardware segment dominated growth of the Utilities Asset Management Market Analysisin 2021, and is expected to maintain its dominance in the upcoming years, owing to rapid expansion of power generation facilities globally. However, the software segment is expected to witness highest growth in the forecast period, owing to high need of asset management software for smooth operations and efficiency.

Region wise, the Utilities Asset Management Market Share was dominated by North America in 2021 and is expected to retain its position during the forecast period owing to growth in demand for asset management and IoT technology. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to rise in adoption of cloud asset solutions in utility sector, which encourages players to capitalize on R&D and to introduce innovative products to meet the growing needs of customers.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has hit many industries, and utility asset management is no exception. Electricity demand is down, owing to complete closure of large trading houses, processing plants, and manufacturing industries.
