Intelligent Electronic Devices Market Trends:
Rising Focus on Smart Grid Integration
The research report of The publisher states that the smart grid market reached US$ 63.0 billion by 2023 worldwide. Smart grids are sophisticated electrical systems that rely on digital communication technology to monitor and respond to changes in local consumption. Intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) are essential components of these systems, driven by their ability to offer improved electrical infrastructure monitoring, control, and protection capabilities. The rising need for devices that enable utilities to manage power distribution more effectively by offering real time data, automated controls, and advanced fault detection and response mechanisms is impelling the intelligent electronic devices market growth. In addition, these devices facilitate data acquisition, which are essential for the operation of smart grids.Growing Number of Renewable Energy Projects
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that solar photovoltaic (PV) alone was responsible for three-quarters of all renewable capacity additions in 2023 worldwide. Wind and solar renewable energy sources are inherently variable and intermittent. IEDs can provide real time monitoring and control capabilities. They enable utilities to balance supply and demand efficiently even during fluctuations in the amount of renewable energy produced. Besides this, the increasing adoption of solutions that provide advanced fault detection, isolation, and response capabilities is catalyzing the intelligent electronic devices demand. These devices detect and mitigate problems such as power spikes or drops promptly as to guarantee minimal disruption and effective service restoration. This is especially crucial for renewable energy projects located in remote or harsh environments where quick response is critical.Rapid Urbanization and Industrialization
Urbanization leads to higher population densities and increases residential, commercial, and industrial activities. As a result, the demand for electricity rises for various purposes. IEDs are crucial to ensure a steady and dependable power supply and effectively manage and distribute this increasing load. In addition, the growing demand for efficient electrical systems is offering a favorable intelligent electronic devices market outlook. IEDs can monitor, regulate, and optimize electrical networks easily in real time, making it essential for supplying the high demand in urban areas. Apart from this, industrial growth in emerging economies usually involves the adoption of advanced automation technologies to improve productivity and efficiency. IEDs play a vital role in industrial automation as they can provide precise protection, monitoring, and control over electrical systems used in the processing and manufacturing sectors. By 2050, 68% of the world's population is expected to reside in urban areas, according to the United Nations (UN).Intelligent Electronic Devices Market Segmentation:
