Electricity Trading Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The rise in vendor collaborations is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as self-generation of electricity and growth in adoption of microgrids may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Electricity Trading Key Market Driver
-
One of the key factors driving the global electricity trading market growth is the rise in vendor collaborations and increase in power exchange trade volumes.
- For instance, in April 2018, IEX and JEPX signed an MoU to explore opportunities for cooperation in the electricity market jointly.
- The scope of the MoU includes opportunities for training to facilitate electricity trading through competitive market platforms by organizing knowledge-sharing programs.
- Several power exchanges and energy market operators, such as HROTE, EPEX SPOT, and European Energy Exchange (EEX), are members of Europex and aim to enhance their trade volume with directives and regulations.
- Significantly, increasing trade volumes, along with favorable initiatives, will, therefore, benefit the exchanges and commodities of the power markets, which will drive the energy trading market size growth during the forecast period.
Electricity Trading Key Market Trend
- Rise in the entry of the new players is one of the key electricity trading market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period.
- Globally, many large vendors are entering the electricity sector.
- For instance, in March 2019, Royal Dutch Shell Plc (Shell) started selling electricity to business customers in Japan based on its experiences in Europe and North America.
- China and India are among the countries that are expanding their footprints in the deregulated electricity sector by introducing new power trading exchanges.
- Currently, India has two operating power exchanges, IEX and Power Exchange of India (PXIL). Thus, the rise in the entry of new players in the electricity sector for business expansion and the resultant competitive pricing of electricity will further support the electricity trading market growth in the coming years.
Electricity Trading Key Market Challenge
-
One of the key challenges to the global electricity trading market growth is the self-generation of electricity and rapid adoption of microgrids to generate their electricity through solar panels and small wind turbines.
- A significant section of the population, particularly in Asia and Africa, still live without electricity.
- Microgrids offer an ideal solution for the electrification of rural areas through solar PV systems, storage systems, and generators. They also enable large-scale industrial and commercial buildings to be self-sufficient in terms of electricity supply and heating.
- The self-generation of electricity is gaining popularity among customers owing to clean energy and supportive government policies, which may limit the growth of the electricity trading market during the forecast period.
