This Industrial Digital Substation market report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market’s characteristics, size, and growth, including segmentation, regional and country-level breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends, and strategies. It also tracks historical and forecasted market growth across various geographies.
The industrial digital substation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.89 billion in 2024 to $4.19 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for efficient and reliable power distribution systems, growth investments in smart grid technologies and infrastructure, the increasing need for enhanced grid stability and reliability, government initiatives and regulations promoting modernized electrical grids, the expansion of renewable energy sources, and the need for grid integration.
The industrial digital substation market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.58 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of Industry 4 and digital transformation in power systems, rising demand for sustainable and energy-efficient infrastructure, continued expansion of smart grid and advanced metering infrastructure, enhanced cybersecurity measures for protecting critical infrastructure, and continued emphasis on reducing carbon emissions and improving energy efficiency. Major trends in the forecast period include the expansion of smart grid technologies, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), the adoption of edge computing, the deployment of digital twin technology, the use of internet of things (IoT) devices, and advancements in cybersecurity.
The rising demand for electricity is expected to drive growth in the industrial digital substation market. This increase in electricity demand is attributed to factors such as urbanization, industrialization, and the growing use of electric technologies and devices. Industrial digital substations improve the efficiency, reliability, and automation of power distribution and management in industrial settings. For example, in January 2024, the International Energy Agency, based in France, reported a 2.2% rise in global electricity demand in 2023, with China experiencing a 6.4% increase. Over the next three years, global demand is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 3.4%, with India leading major economies, having seen a 7% increase in 2023 and expected to grow by over 6% annually through 2026. Thus, the increasing electricity demand is fueling the expansion of the industrial digital substation market.
Companies in the industrial digital substation market are focusing on innovative products like process interface units (PIUs) to enhance the adoption of digital substations. These units improve efficiency, flexibility, and maintainability while supporting advanced automation and communication. A process interface unit (PIU) connects field devices to the control system, converting physical signals into digital data for monitoring and control. For instance, in March 2024, Hitachi Energy Ltd., a Switzerland-based technology firm, introduced SAM600 3.0, a new PIU designed to advance digital substation technology. This unit combines three separate units into a single modular device, functioning as a merging unit, a switchgear control unit, or both. This integration simplifies installation and maintenance for utilities and converts analog signals into digital data for efficient current and voltage distribution across the substation.
