The latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Microgrid Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022”, finds that the global microgrid market reached a value of US$ 15.3 Billion in 2016. Microgrids are integrated energy systems used to generate, distribute and regulate the flow of electrical power. They have the ability to store energy locally either in parallel or in isolation from the electric grids. Microgrids can be used to generate energy from both the renewable and the non-renewable sources. In addition, they also help in increasing the efficiency of the electric delivery system by reducing energy losses in transmission and distribution. On account of this, these systems are installed to increase the reliability of power distribution, reduce costs and encourage economic growth.
Highlights of the global microgrid market:
- The increasing usage of renewable sources is the key factor driving the growth of the market.
- Remote systems account for the majority of the total market share.
- North America dominates the market, holding the majority of the global share.
Microgrids can be used as a composition of multiple energy generation sources, such as solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and fossil fuel, to generate and supply electricity to a local community, university, or a military base. This is anticipated to be the major driver of the microgrid market. Additionally, the lack of access to reliable grid electricity due to low electrification in the rural areas is another factor boosting the demand for microgrids. Moreover, increased need to strengthen energy security, rapidly increasing industrialization, requirement of enhanced technologies for power generation and distribution, and infrastructure development are some of the other factors facilitating the market growth. According to the report, the global microgrid market is further expected to reach a value of more than US$ 30 Billion by 2022, exhibiting a CAGR of nearly 12% during 2017-2022.
