Additionally, increasing need of reliable, secure, and quality of power supply and the increased efficiency achieved through the grid optimization is anticipated to augment the demand for the global smart grid market. Lack of interoperability and open standards can hamper the growth in the market. However, emerging option of prepayment of electricity with the deployment of advanced metering infrastructure is expected to offset the growth restraints, and further boost the growth in the global smart grid market. Key technology analyzed in this market study includes: advanced metering infrastructure, distribution automation, software and hardware, communication technologies, transmission upgrades, and cyber security. Transmission upgrades held a majority of the global market share followed by the distribution automation, and advanced metering infrastructure technologies in 2012. The demand for an efficient, reliable, and secure interstate transmission and distribution network that can integrate renewable sources of energy, presently stranded worldwide, is expected to bolster the demand for transmission upgrades. However, with the market for transmission upgrades is expected to mature in the future. With the electrical transmission and distribution infrastructure upgrades, the utilities are expected to successfully integrate renewable sources of energy as well as the other smart grid technologies. The global market for smart grid technology is likely to grow at a CAGR of 18.2% between 2013 and 2019. Transparency Market Research 2
