Feeder Automation Market Report 2026

The feeder automation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.11 billion in 2025 to $4.45 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in electrical distribution infrastructure, rising demand for reliable power supply, expansion of industrial and commercial power networks, adoption of early feeder automation controllers, increasing focus on power quality and outage reduction.

The feeder automation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increased deployment of smart grid and iot technologies, rising adoption of predictive maintenance and analytics, growing demand for real-time monitoring and control, expansion of renewable energy integration, advancements in automated fault detection and isolation systems. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of intelligent feeder automation controllers, deployment of advanced scada and feeder management systems, enhanced fault detection and isolation capabilities, adoption of predictive maintenance and analytics solutions, expansion of remote monitoring and grid control technologies.

The increasing demand for efficient power distribution is expected to drive the growth of the feeder automation market in the coming years. Power distribution refers to the process of delivering electricity from generation sources, such as power plants, to end users including households, businesses, and industrial facilities. The demand for efficient power distribution arises from the need to reliably supply electricity to support economic activities and essential societal functions. Feeder automation enhances power distribution by automating the monitoring, control, and management of distribution feeders, improving fault detection, isolation, and service restoration processes, and ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted power supply while reducing downtime and operational costs. For instance, in April 2025, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), a UAE-based government agency, reported that in 2024 it commissioned 1,530 medium-voltage (11 kV and 6.6 kV) distribution substations, increasing the total number to 45,317 substations across Dubai, highlighting the expansion of distribution infrastructure to meet growing electricity demand and improve power delivery efficiency. Therefore, the rising demand for efficient power distribution is contributing to the growth of the feeder automation market.

Leading companies in feeder automation are increasingly focusing on creating advanced products, such as real-time monitoring intelligent link modules, which enable the immediate detection of issues. These modules allow continuous communication and data exchange between network components, providing real-time monitoring, fault detection, and control to optimize system management. For example, in October 2024, Siemens AG, a Germany-based automation company, introduced the SIRIUS 3RC7 intelligent link module. This device enhances data transparency at the field level by integrating load feeders directly into automation systems. It monitors key parameters such as voltage, current, and overload trips, which are essential for efficient feeder management. The module's diagnostic features speed up fault detection and maintenance, ultimately improving feeder automation efficiency.

In November 2023, Mutares SE & Co. KGaA acquired Efacec for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, Efacec will enhance Mutares' Engineering & Technology division, marking its third acquisition and second platform investment in the Iberian region. Efacec, based in Portugal, specializes in electricity distribution solutions such as feeder automation and will contribute to Mutares' portfolio expansion in the sector.
