The power generation, transmission and control equipment market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $682.86 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in renewable power integration, rising focus on smart grid deployment, demand for advanced switchgear technologies, increasing investment in power automation systems, expansion of electric mobility infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of smart power control systems, growth in energy efficient transmission equipment, rising demand for high capacity power generators, expansion of grid modernization projects, increasing use of industrial automation components.

The anticipated increase in electricity demand is expected to drive the growth of the power generation, transmission, and control equipment market in the future. Electricity, a form of energy generated by charged particles, attracts investments, stimulates innovation, and encourages the development of advanced and efficient technologies. This growing demand for electricity also fosters research and development efforts to enhance the efficiency and reliability of power generation, transmission, and control equipment. For instance, Exxon Mobil Corporation reported in August 2023 that electricity demand is projected to increase by 1.8% annually, constituting about 50% of the industry by 2050. Thus, the upward trajectory in electricity demand propels the expansion of the power generation, transmission, and control equipment market.

Leading companies in the power generation, transmission, and control equipment market are prioritizing the development of innovative products like liquid-cooled motors. These motors use circulating liquid to regulate temperature, effectively preventing overheating and enhancing performance by dispersing excess heat through a cooling system. For example, in February 2024, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based automation company, introduced the IE5 SynRM motor. The IE5 SynRM liquid-cooled motors combine ultra-efficient SynRM technology with high-performance liquid cooling, providing compact and powerful solutions that reduce energy and maintenance costs, making them an excellent alternative to traditional induction motors.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on electrical machinery, steel components, and electronic control devices have raised production and import costs for power generation, transmission, and control equipment, particularly affecting transformer and switchgear categories in Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. These tariffs disrupt supply chains, increase project execution costs, and slow deployment timelines for utilities and industrial users. However, they also incentivize domestic manufacturing, promote innovation in modular and energy-efficient power equipment, and support regional supply chain diversification to reduce long-term import dependence.

Power generation equipment refers to electrical machinery and apparatus employed in generating electric power. Power transmission equipment aids in transferring energy from its source to a location where it can be utilized for various activities. Power control equipment encompasses devices designed to restrict or regulate steady-state currents.

The primary categories of power generation, transmission, and control equipment include transformers, electric motors and generators, switchgear and switchboard apparatus, relays, and industrial controls. A transformer is a device that alters electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other circuits by either increasing (stepping up) or decreasing (stepping down) the voltage. This equipment finds applications in residential, commercial, automotive, and other sectors, serving both private and public end-users.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the power generation, transmission and control equipment market in 2025.
