Developed countries have started using electric vehicles for transportation to cut down the carbon print. There has a growing demand for these electric vehicles in the countries like Europe, Germany, China, and the US. These electric vehicles require charging infrastructure constructed sparsely across the country. They acquire energy from the DC sources, which has increased the demand for active power control. This requirement has created a huge demand for the Smart Transformers market.
The emerging and underdeveloped countries across the world are viewing smart grid technology as a strategical investment to achieve their carbon emission targets and to sustain their long-term economic property.
The old electric grid infrastructure combined with the rapid growth in technology has aided the Smart Transformers market growth. In addition to that, the emerging countries have started utilizing micro-generators and revolutions in the power sectors also have bolstered the market growth.
Several developing countries lack the advanced electric grid infrastructure that is required for the adoption of Smart Transformers. In addition to that, the issues like data breaching, cybersecurity are some of the factors that restrict the Smart Transformers market growth.
Higher installation costs associated with the Smart Transformers and lack of testing infrastructure in developing countries are considered as the major restraints for the Smart Transformers market growth.
Poor government regulations and initiatives for adopting the new technology in power generation are considered as the major challenges in the Smart Transformers market. As the Smart Transformers require higher capital, the lack of government initiatives makes it more difficult for the market growth.
The low accessibility to electricity in major developing countries also imposes significant restrictions on the growth of the Smart Transformers market.
Developed countries such as the US and China are highly involved in commercial and industrial activities, the energy demand is inevitable.
