This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The automatic generation control market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $12.95 billion in 2024 to $14.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to load fluctuations, renewable energy integration, interconnection of grids, demand response programs, generation outages.
The automatic generation control market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $20.8 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increased penetration of distributed energy resources, electric vehicles (EVs) integration, increasing integration of energy markets, and cybersecurity concerns. Major trends in the forecast period include deployment of edge computing, integration of blockchain technology, expansion of virtual power plants (VPPs), emergence of grid-interactive buildings, adoption of multi-agent systems (MAS).
The growing demand for electricity is expected to drive the expansion of the automatic generation control (AGC) market in the coming years. Electricity is the phenomenon resulting from the flow of electric charge, a form of energy produced by the movement of electrons through conductive materials like wires or circuits. The increasing demand for electricity is fueled by factors such as population growth, urbanization, economic development, and technological progress. AGC is employed in power systems to optimize their operations, reduce energy imbalances, and ensure a stable electricity supply. For example, in January 2024, the International Energy Agency, a France-based intergovernmental organization, projected global electricity demand to grow by 3.4% annually through 2026. Electricity's share of total energy consumption rose to 20% in 2023, and data centers, which consumed around 460 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2022, are expected to use more than 1,000 TWh by 2026. As a result, the rising demand for electricity is fueling the growth of the AGC market.
