Global T&D Equipment Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies ABB, General Cable Technologies, Nexans, Prysmian, and Siemens as the key vendors in the global T&D equipment market. This industry research report also presents a detailed analysis of the market by product (power cables, switchgears, and transformers), and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global T&D equipment market

Technavio’s research analysis on the global T&D equipment market has identified the increasing demand for power generation as one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the next few years. With the increasing population and the rise in rapid urbanization and industrialization, the demand for power will considerably increase in the coming years. This will drive the need for new manufacturing plants and the expansion of existing plants to meet the growing demand, which will subsequently drive the need for T&D equipment. Technavio’s market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of almost 7% by 2021.

The power received in a power grid in terms of quantity, is always lower than the power produced at source. This is mainly due to the thermal losses owing to the electrical resistivity and conductivity of the transmitting material. Power voltage is usually stepped up for long distance transmission, which is then stepped down to usable voltage and distributed to commercial and residential end-users. This will result in an increasing focus on energy efficiency, which according to this industry research report, will be one of the major trends that will gain traction in the T&D equipment market during the next four years.
