Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Equipment Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increased demand for power generation is notably driving the T&D equipment market growth, although factors such as the increase in distribution generation 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 transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Equipment Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the global transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment industry growth is the increased demand for power generation owing to the increasing population and rapid urbanization and industrialization. Urbanization increases the need for electrification, which requires expansion of the power distribution network through investment in new generation plants. In addition, the rise in urban population will lead to new manufacturing plants and expansion of existing plants. Further, power demand fulfillment is important for the socio-economic development of a country. According to WBG, the electrification rate increased from 71.55% in 1991 to 89% in 2019 and 90.5% in 2020. Such factors will drive the growth of the market focus during the forecast period.
Key Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Equipment Market Trend
Growing focus on energy efficiency is one of the key transmission and distribution equipment market trends that is expected to impact the industry positively in the forecast period. 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. Reducing losses by a percent for a power generation of 1GW will save 10 MW of power in T&D losses. This is a significant saving and can power 1,000 - 2,000 residential users. Moreover, upgrading to HVDC cables in the transmission lines will improve load-carrying capacity, which is 2-3 times the load-carrying capacity of conventional cables at low losses. Upgrading to superconducting transformers, FACTS, and HTS cables are considered a capable solution for reducing T&D losses and increasing energy efficiency. The need for enhanced energy efficiency and reduced T&D losses will drive infrastructural upgrades and the demand for T&D equipment over the forecast period.
Key Transmission and Distribution (T&D) Equipment Market Challenge
One of the key challenges to the global transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment industry growth is the increase in distributed generation. The energy production and consumption pattern are changing, albeit slowly, in developed nations such as the US and Europe, as institutions, businesses, and households are financing the setting up of decentralized power systems and have become an integral part of the developed nation's power system. End-users have become prosumers, that have, at their discretion, the ability to sell excess power at market prices. For instance, distribution generation in Europe has moved beyond the demonstration stage, and governments of several countries such as Germany, Belgium, Denmark, and the UK have implemented policies and feed-in tariffs favoring the technology. In Europe, the price of electricity has continuously increased, which has, in turn, added to household expenditure. Since the power is generated at the source, there are no technical losses, and congestions on the grid are reduced, which allows utilities to defer investments in T&D infrastructure. Such factors may hamper the growth of the market in the forecast years.
This transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
