The > 1,000 MW - 3,000 MW capacity HVDC converter industry will exceed USD 9.5 billion by 2034. HVDC systems within this capacity range are becoming the backbone of renewable energy integration projects such as offshore wind farms and solar parks. They are also critical for interconnecting national grids over long distances. The ability to transmit large amounts of power efficiently makes this range essential for meeting the energy needs of densely populated regions.
The VSC HVDC Converter market will grow at a CAGR of over 32% through 2034, due to its flexibility and ability to integrate renewable energy into the grid. VSC allows for better control over power flow, making it ideal for offshore wind farms, urban power grids, and microgrids. It offers advantages in areas where LCC systems may struggle, such as weak or isolated grids, and can be used for both point-to-point and multi-terminal connections.
U.S. HVDC converter market is set to reach over USD 4 billion by 2034, fueled by grid modernization initiatives and the need to integrate renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Aging infrastructure and increasing electricity consumption are driving investments in long-distance HVDC transmission projects, particularly in regions such as the Midwest and the Western Interconnection. These projects are focused on delivering renewable energy from generation-rich areas to densely populated urban centers. Furthermore, federal incentives and regulatory support for clean energy are bolstering the adoption of HVDC systems, with significant interest in voltage source converter (VSC) technology for its flexibility in integrating diverse energy resources.
In the Asia Pacific, the HVDC converter market is experiencing exponential growth due to the region’s surging energy demand, driven by rapid urbanization and industrialization. Countries like China and India are leading the charge with large-scale investments in ultra-high voltage (UHVDC) projects to address energy imbalances between resource-rich regions and high-demand urban hubs. China, in particular, is at the forefront of UHVDC development deploying projects with capacities exceeding 3,000 MW to support its ambitious renewable energy targets and national grid expansion.
