Global digital substation market to reach USD 11.5 billion by 2025.

Global digital substation market is valued approximately USD 6.3 billion in 2017 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 7.87% over the forecast period 2018-2025. Increasing technological advancements is considered as key trend for the digital substation market. Additionally, the advent of battery technology to generate electricity is also expected to supplement the growth of the market across the globe.

The digital substation market is significantly driven by the increasing infrastructure development in smart cities. Smart cities enable flexibility and cutting-edge intelligence that would help cities to utilize resources more efficiently to improve everything from air, water quality to transportation, energy and communication systems. According to the Smart America Organization, government would invest USD41 trillion till 2045 with an aim to upgrade their infrastructure to benefit from the IOT. As per the company sources, in February 2015, Intel and the city of san Jose, CA collaborated on public-private partnership project which aims to implement Intel's IoT smart city demonstration platform by launching green vision initiative. This project aims to create environmental sustainability and enhance the quality of life for its citizen. Thus, the market for the digital substation is witnessing growth due to the rising need for replacing aging infrastructure and rising adoption of digital substations in smart cities. As a result, the adoption of digital substation would increase, contributing towards the growth of the market over the forecast period. Furthermore, growing demand for renewable energy projects offers lucrative growth prospects for the digital substation market. However, high cost of deployment is expected to hinder the growth of the digital substation market during the forecast period.
