Microgrid as a Service (MaaS) Market by Grid Type (Grid Connected, and Remote or Islanded), Service Type (Engineering & Design, SAAS, Monitoring & Control, and Operation & Maintenance), Vertical, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2022
The microgrid as a service (MaaS) market was valued at USD 774.9 Million in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 2,241.6 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 15.86% during the forecast period. The base year considered for the study is 2015, and the forecast for the market size is provided for the period between 2016 and 2022.
The main objectives of this study are as follows:
- To define, describe, and forecast the global microgrid as a service market on the basis of grid type, vertical, service type, and geography
- To provide detailed information regarding the major factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges)
- To estimate the size of the Microgrid as a Service Market and its various segments
- To forecast the size of the market segments with respect to the following regions (along with countries): the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Rest of the World (RoW)
The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the microgrid as a service (MaaS) market begins with obtaining data on key vendor revenues through secondary research from sources such as Microgrid World Forum, Mission Critical Magazine, Microgrid Global Innovation Forum, Global Microgrid Institute, Microgrid Knowledge, government sources (World Bank), corporate filings (such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements), and trade, business, and professional associations, microgrid-related journals, certified publications, articles from recognized authors, directories, and database, among others. The vendor offerings have been taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The top-down procedure has been employed to arrive at the overall market size of the global MaaS market. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market has been split into several segments and subsegments, which have then been verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key people such as CEOs, VPs, directors, and executives. This data triangulation and market breakdown procedures have been employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments.

The microgrid as a service market was valued at USD 774.9 Million in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 2,241.6 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 15.86% during the forecast period. Reduction in operational costs and negligible upfront investments by MaaS end users, rising demand from MaaS from hospitals, universities, and remote regions, and high investments by governments in microgrid infrastructure for improved resilience are expected to boost the demand for MaaS in the coming years.
The microgrid as a service (MaaS) market, on the basis of grid type, has been segmented into grid connected and remote or islanded grid types. Among these two segments, the remote or islanded type is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Remote/islanded microgrids allow facilities to better manage distributed energy sources and achieve greater control in meeting energy demands.
The microgrid as a service market, on the basis of vertical, has been segmented into government and education, residential and commercial, industrial, military and utility. Among these segments, the market for industrial vertical is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Lower energy costs, more reliable and better quality power supply, grid resiliency, access to electricity, fuel independence are some of the advantages, which have increased the adoption of microgrid technology in industrial vertical.
The microgrid as a service market, on the basis of service type, has been segmented into engineering and design service, software as a service, monitoring and control service, and operation and maintenance service. The software as a service is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period followed by operation and maintenance service. With software as a service, microgrid owners have a single point of accountability and a reduced risk of project delays and failures. This results in a safer, more reliable, and more cost-efficient microgrid system.
The MaaS market, based on geography, has been segmented into Americas, Europe, APAC, and Rest of the World. The MaaS market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The market growth in APAC can be attributed to the high investments in the microgrid infrastructure, and increasing need for continuous, uninterrupted, and reliable supply of power and electricity.
Dominance of customer-owned microgrids and policies, regulations, and standards are some of the key challenges in the global MaaS market. Key players in this market focus on strategic partnerships, acquisitions, agreements, and new product launches and developments to increase their revenue. For instance, in August 2015, Blue Lake Rancheria (U.S.) and Humboldt State University's Schatz Energy Research Center (U.S.) partnered with Siemens to build a low-carbon community microgrid to power the government offices, economic enterprises, and critical Red Cross safety shelter-in-place facilities. This project is estimated to reduce 150 tons of carbon per year. In February 2015, Exelon Corp. entered into a partnership with Anbaric Transmission (U.S.) to create a series of microgrids in New York. The collaboration was meant for establishing microgrids ranging from 10 to 200 MW, throughout the state to secure reliability, reduce costs, and improve the efficiency of the surrounding grid.
