Electric Power (Transmission & Distribution) Infrastructure Market by Type (Transformer, Switchgear, Circuit Breaker, Inductor & Capacitors, Meters, and Fuses & Equipment), by Transmission Lines (Overhead power transmission and Underground power transmission), by Technology (High-voltage direct current (HVDC), Smart Grid, and Other) by product type (Transformers, Switchgear, and Switchboard apparatus) by Application (Power Transmission and Power Distribution) – Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2030

Market Definition

The Electric Power (Transmission & Distribution) Infrastructure Market size was valued at USD 330.29 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 431.72 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.90% from 2024 to 2030. Electric power (T&D) infrastructure is the backbone of the electric power system as it facilitates the delivery of electricity from various power plants such as hydroelectric dams, fossil fuel, nuclear, and others to end customers.

Transmission and distribution refer to the different stages of carrying electricity over poles, wires, generators, and others to a home or a business. Power transmission is the process of transmitting large-scale movement of electricity at high voltage levels from a power plant to a substation. Whereas power distribution is the translation of high voltage electricity at substations to lower voltages that are distributed and used by private, public, and industrial customers. In addition, there are four types of electric power transmission such as automatic transmission, manual transmission, automated manual transmission, continuously variable transmission. On the other hand, electric power distribution networks are divided into two types such as radial and network.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The rising demand for electricity is driving the growth of electric power (T&D) infrastructure market globally. This is attributed to the factors such as growing urbanization and globalization. People across the world increasingly using electricity for lighting, operating appliances, computers, electronics, machinery, and public transportation systems. According to U.S. Energy Information Administration electricity consumption in the United States was about 3.9 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh) in 2021. Also, growing demand in the utilization of renewable energies such as wind and solar energies for generating electric power in turn drives the growth of the electric power (transmission & distribution) infrastructure market during the forecast period.

However, owing to the higher initial cost of power of T&D equipment is expected to restraint the growth of the energy electric power (Transmission & Distribution) infrastructure market. On the other hand, introduction of superconducting cables in the field of electric power infrastructure that provides advantages such as high current carrying capabilities along with extremely low resistance is expected to create ample opportunities for the market in the coming years.
