Microgrid monitoring market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6%, with a valuation of USD 8.38 Billion during the forecast period (2023–2030).

Microgrid Monitoring Market Scenario

The microgrid monitoring market is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period. The term microgrid monitoring refers to the real-time monitoring of all electrical equipment controls and activities. It also includes goods that have been engineered, configured, and standardized to include necessary auxiliary equipment. It contributes to increased power supply dependability and energy conservation. Microgrid monitoring has become more popular as the number of grids installed and the need for electricity from cleaner energy sources has increased.

Factors driving the microgrid market's growth include a growing focus on decarbonization by various end-users and governments, increased need for reliable electricity, expanding adoption of microgrids for rural electrification, and an increase in cyberattacks on energy systems. Government initiatives to stimulate the construction of microgrids are also boosting the industry's growth. However, the power plants' limitations in terms of inefficient power transmission have grown more apparent. Traditional systems rely heavily on fossil fuels to generate energy, resulting in pollution and global warming. Natural disasters can potentially pose a threat to these grids, resulting in network outages or blackouts.

Increasing grid installation activities and focus on clean source of energy would drive the microgrid monitoring market. South East Asia is planning to invest USD 9.8 billion in smart grid infrastructure which would result in high levels of microgrids and battery storage market growths. Similarly, Vattenfall (Sweden) is planning to invest USD 2.3 billion from 2019 to 2024 to renew and expand electricity grid. Such developments would in turn have a positive impact on the microgrid monitoring market.
