Smart Energy Market

Smart Energy Market Analysis - 2027

Global smart energy market size was valued at $124.0 billion in 2019, and is projected to reach $253.1 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2020 to 2027. Smart energy is a cost-effective, sustainable, and secure energy system, which focuses on sustainable energy production while reducing the production cost. The smart energy system consists of smart electricity, smart gas, and smart thermal grids. In addition, the application of smart energy system can also eliminate need of conventional fossil fuels.

Smart energy market has no significant impact due to the pandemic, owing to its high efficiency to operate from remote locations and to offset demand loss during extended lockdown.

Robust investment in smart grid technologies is one of the major drivers in the smart energy market. In addition, shift toward efficient energy technologies in China, the U.S., and the UK will further boost the market demand for smart grids. For instance, Government of India is planning to replace 250 million conventional meters into smart meters by 2022. Furthermore, advanced metering infrastructure technology is expected to gain traction during the forecast timeframe, owing to increase in expenditure on infrastructure development. Advanced metering devices have strong demand in homes, offices and industrial plants for efficient energy management and easy monitoring of energy usage. However, smart energy requires high capital investment and integration of complex technologies, which are the major challenges during the initial phase. Installation of smart energy involves hardware and software components, including instrumentation, network infrastructure and network management software. In addition, the system requires integration of large number of systems, including work management systems, mobile workforce management, SCADA/DMS, and distribution automation systems. Nonetheless, favorable government policies and increase in emphasis on renewable power sources are expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market.

The global smart energy market is segmented on the basis of product, end-user industry, and region. On the basis of product, it is divided into smart grid, digital oilfield, and smart solar, and home energy management system. Based on end-user industry, it is categorized into residential, industrial, and commercial. Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Major players have adopted product launch, collaboration, and acquisition to sustain the intense market competition. Some of the key players profiled in the report include General Electric, Itron, Honeywell International, Siemens, ABB Group, and Larsen & Toubro.

Global Smart Energy Market, By Region

Asia-Pacific accounted for a significant market share. This is attributed to growing application of smart energy devices predominantly in China. For instance, in March 2019, China Southern Power Grid announced to invest around $25.3 billion for smart energy grid in the Pearl River Delta region. This will improve Guangzhou and Shenzhen cities power outages. In addition, growing emphasis on the usage of solar and wind power sources to reduce carbon emission will positively drive the market growth in Asia-Pacific. 

Global Smart Energy Market, By Product Type

Smart grid accounted for significant revenue share. This is attributed to rise in demand for dynamic pricing or real time pricing, coupled with application of distributed energy system in residential and commercial places.

Global Smart Energy Market, By End-user industry

The industrial sector accounted for highest revenue share and market growth, owing to increase in demand for smart energy in energy intensive industrial sectors, where the smart energy system helps to reduce energy cost and improve company's ecological profile, and feedback scheduling. 

COVID-19 scenario analysis

• The smart energy market has been severely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 across the globe. The market witnessed large fall in demand from manufacturing and production centers, owing to large number of shutdown in the industrial sector. 
• As the demand from end users gradually decreased, the wholesale electricity price also decreased. 
• But, shifting trend toward work from home norms and growing energy demand from residential sectors will foster the smart energy market growth.
• Nonetheless, social distancing norms and lockdown measures across the globe led to supply chain disruption in the smart energy market. 
• Social distancing norms affected the availability of equipment and spare parts; thus, negatively impacting the maintenance and infrastructure development activities.
• In the post COVID period, industry players will focus to re-asses their supply chain and consider whether sourcing from domestic players closer to operational site may improve the supply chain.
