The Smart Grid Business 2011 to 2016
Memoori Business Intelligence Ltd, Jan 2012, Pages: 182
This report, published in Q1 2012 is a definitive resource for the Smart Grid Industry, uniquely combining clearly defined market sizing statistics with financial analysis of M&A and Investment.
It is Memoori's first edition of an annual assessment of the world's Smart Grid business; providing a comprehensive analysis that brings together all the factors influencing this industries future. This includes technology, finance and the capability to deliver products & services that will drive more ROI out of investment whilst meeting the challenges of a low carbon economy in the 21st century.
The survey establishes valuable statistics about the business size, together with its structure and shape, forecasting demand to 2016. The electrical power transmission and distribution business is a very mature 100 year plus industry. Transforming it into a Smart Grid to meet the new challenges of a low carbon economy is a major undertaking. This can only be achieved if some radical changes are made to both the supply and demand side; and the addition of new technology to the industry in the form of advanced control, communications and enterprise software. Without this, the grid will not be able to accept renewable power sources and the mission to achieve a low carbon economy will be thwarted. The need to reduce CO2 emissions within the existing electrical grid will drive the future growth of this business. In order to do this, the grid must incorporate renewable electricity from a multitude of distributed sources and be capable of matching the supply of electricity with demand at the point of usage.
Within its 182 pages and over 23 charts and tables, the report sieves out the facts and draws conclusions, as to what is shaping the future of the Smart Grid industry:
- Memoori estimates that to achieve full penetration of the world's existing grid together with future extensions to 2030; will require an investment of some $2 trillion on pure Smart Grid equipment at installed prices.
- There are currently at least 1,700 companies in the world manufacturing hardware and software products for the electrical transmission and distribution market which have annual sales of over $5 million per annum. Of these, companies having annual sales of over a $1 billion account for 65% of the business but only 1% by number.
- Total spend on power transmission & distribution equipment in 2010 was some $106 billion and is forecast to rise 5.3% per year through 2013 to $124 billion.
- Memoori estimates that the sales of Smart Grid systems were $16 billion in 2010 and this clearly shows that the business is still in its embryonic stages. It is also very unbalanced because the current share taken by smart meters is running at over 30% of the market.
- In the space of 5 years mergers and acquisitions have grown from $134 million in 2007 to $10.6 billion in 2011. Both the growth and now scale indicate the supply side is gearing up to meet the requirements of new technology and forecast demand for pure Smart Grid products and systems.
- VC Companies invested some $1 billion per year in 2010 and 2011 in Smart Grid supplier companies. They have recouped some investments through 3 major IPO's during that time. So far most other private equity investors have stayed away from the acquisition dealing tables.
