The growth in the historic period can be attributed to long-distance power transmission, urbanization and power demand, cross-border power transmission, government initiatives and policies, grid stability and reliability.

The HVDC converter stations market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $19.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global electrification trends, enhanced grid resilience, smart grid integration, carbon neutrality goals, interconnection of power networks. Major trends in the forecast period include growing renewable energy integration, advancements in voltage source converter (VSC) technology, cross-border power transmission projects, technological advancements, digitalization and smart controls.

The growth of the renewable energy sector is anticipated to drive the expansion of the HVDC converter stations market in the future. Renewable energy is derived from natural sources that replenish at a rate faster than their consumption. HVDC converters are essential for the effective integration, transmission, and distribution of renewable energy over long distances, enhancing grid stability and facilitating the transition to a more sustainable and decarbonized energy system with minimal energy loss. For example, in October 2023, the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, reported that global power generation from renewable sources rose to 22.5% in 2021 and is expected to reach 42.5% by 2030. Therefore, the growth in the renewable energy sector is fueling the HVDC converter stations market.

The increasing need for long-distance power transmission is expected to boost the growth of the HVDC converter station market in the coming years. Long-distance power transmission refers to the movement of electrical energy over significant distances, usually from power generation plants to consumers or between interconnected power systems. HVDC converter stations facilitate the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances by functioning as the endpoints of an HVDC transmission system, converting power between AC and DC at both ends of the line. For instance, a report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, indicated that the United States saw a 2.6% rise in electricity demand in 2022 compared to 2021. Thus, the growing demand for cost-effective solutions for long-distance power transmission is propelling the HVDC converter station market.

Leading companies in the HVDC converter station market are prioritizing strategic partnerships to deliver reliable services to their customers. A strategic partnership involves an agreement between two or more companies or organizations that collaborate to help each other achieve their respective objectives. For example, in March 2023, Hitachi Energy, a Japan-based sustainable energy firm, teamed up with the Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority (GCCIA), a Saudi Arabian sustainable energy organization, to enhance the Al-Fadhili high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter station, which will enable the exchange of up to 1,800 megawatts of electricity between various states in the Middle East. Additionally, in July 2024, GE Vernova, a US-based energy services provider, formed a partnership with German Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to improve the integration of renewable energy sources into the power grid and boost the reliability and efficiency of energy transmission across the country. This collaboration is crucial for advancing the energy transition in Germany, enhancing the reliability of the electricity grid, and supporting the growth of renewable energy sources.

Premier companies in the HVDC converter station market are concentrating on developing innovative solutions, such as frameworks, to provide reliable services to customers. Frameworks provide a structure or foundation for building something and offer guidelines, patterns, and tools for efficient and consistent development. National Grid PLC, a UK-based electricity and gas utility company, launched Frameworks for HVDC cable requirements in December 2023. This includes electronic equipment for converting AC to DC and vice versa at the ends of HVDC transmission lines.

In July 2022, Sensata Technologies, a US-based global industrial technology company, acquired Dynapower Company LLC for $580 million. The acquisition aims to expand Sensata's global footprint, invest in new technologies and markets, and accelerate the scaling of its electrification efforts. This strategic move will enable Dynapower to leverage Sensata's global resources and better support its customers worldwide. Dynapower Company LLC is a US-based trusted leader in power conversion and energy storage solutions.

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations convert electrical power between AC and DC formats in high-voltage transmission networks. Used for long-distance power transmission, integrating multiple power systems, and promoting renewable energy integration, these stations contribute to decreased transmission losses and improved grid stability.

The primary types of HVDC converter stations include monopolar, bi-polar, back-to-back, and multi-terminal. Monopolar configuration utilizes a single high-voltage conductor for transmitting direct current (DC) in HVDC transmission systems, offering efficient utilization of transmission assets and cost reduction. Major components include valves, converter transformers, circuit breakers, harmonic filters, surge arresters, reactors, and others, using technologies such as line commutated converters and voltage sources. Capacities range from < 500 MW to > 3,000 MW, applied in power industry, oil and gas, powering islands and remote loads, and interconnecting networks.
