The global power metering market has huge growth opportunities owing to increasing demands from developing economies such as India, Brazil, and South Africa. The governments would enhance grid infrastructure, which would be done by installing more towers, so that more number of people have access to electricity. The power metering market is projected to reach USD 17.8 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 8.9% from 2015 to 2020.
High voltage equipment becomes the integral part of the transmission and distribution network. Power transmission includes equipment such as transformers and reactive compensation, breaker, protection and control and communication equipment and others. Continuously growing energy demand will continue to be the central market driver for transmission equipment. Market for high voltage equipment is projected to reach over USD 116 Billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2015 to 2020.
Global voltage regulators market for power distribution is projected to grow from USD 1.9 Billion to USD 2.4 Billion at a CAGR of from 4.7% 2014 to 2019. Increasing expenditure on power transmission and distribution infrastructure by utilities, along with growing demand for electricity from industrial and domestic sectors are some of the key drivers of voltage regulators market across the world.
Feeder automation is a constituent of distribution automation system, which principally focuses on remote monitoring and control of the distribution systems & their equipment. Distribution feeders include control devices, most common being the shunt capacitors to meet local volt-ampere reactive (VAR) requirements or support voltage regulation. Growing demand for energy, coupled with increasing investment in automation activities, is expected to drive the global feeder automation market to $3,445.0 Million by 2019, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2014 to 2019.
A packaged substation is an integral part of the electric power distribution system. The power sector offers a promising future with growing demands for electricity, following increasing urbanization and industrialization in the developed as well as developing nations. Packaged substations form a crucial part in the power sector across distribution and equipment protection segments. The global packaged substation market is projected to exhibit high growth on account of growing urbanization and rise in the number of upgrades on electrical infrastructure, influenced by increasing energy demand. The market is expected to be valued at $6.89 million globally in 2014. It is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.19% during the forecast period.
