Based on components, the electrical systems segment is projected to surpass USD 1.1 billion by 2032. The growth is mainly attributed to the increasing research and development activities to enhance system portfolios as well as to incorporate a versatile technological platform that will positively influence the North America digital substation industry. Rising electricity complexity is demanding rapid growth in the electric power landscape, thereby boosting the prevalence of digital substations, which overcome the challenges related to cybersecurity.
The North America digital substation market from transmission networks is expected to grow at over 6% CAGR through 2032, due to the increasing investments by utilities and grid operators in upgrading and digitizing their transmission infrastructure to improve reliability, efficiency, and grid automation capabilities. The adoption of digital substation technologies, which enable advanced monitoring, control, and data analytics, is crucial for managing the complex and interconnected transmission networks in North America. As the region continues to integrate more renewable energy sources and modernize its aging grid, the demand for digital substations in transmission applications is poised to drive the overall growth.
U.S. digital substation market is projected to surpass USD 2.9 billion by 2032, driven by the need for efficient and reliable transmission and distribution networks. Additionally, the U.S. government's initiatives to invest in grid modernization and the increasing focus on renewable energy sources are expected to drive the growth of the digital substation market. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), in 2022, the U.S. government allocated more than USD 89 billion towards electricity grid investments, with around 20% of this amount dedicated to digital transformation initiatives. Furthermore, the growing need for cybersecurity in the grid infrastructure is also expected to contribute to the growth of the market.
