The global smart grid market size is projected to reach USD 94.7 billion by 2025. The smart grid technology involves various energy measures and operations such as renewable energy resources, smart meters, energy-efficient resources, and smart appliances. In addition, the smart grid also leverages the hardware systems such as surveillance cameras, sensors, and others to keep track of energy consumption and monitor the systems. With the help of sensors, smart grids can turn on and off the electricity while the systems are not in use, which in turn will decrease the energy consumption.

The current and future smart grid market trends are driving the overall attractiveness of the market. Top impacting factors highlight the smart grid market opportunities during the forecast period. Factors such as growing distress related to environment safety are the major factor driving the market growth for smart grid systems. In addition, increasing supportive government regulations & policies to implement smart meters is among the key factors boosting the demand for smart grid solutions and services. However, privacy & security concerns related to smart grid systems is the major factor hindering the smart grid market growth. It is expected that increasing smart city projects and government initiatives will provide major growth opportunities for the market in the upcoming years.
