The Global Microgrid Market was valued at USD 28.9 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 18.3% to reach USD 166.1 billion by 2035.

Market growth is supported by the rising need for energy reliability, grid resilience, and decentralization, along with accelerating renewable energy adoption and stricter environmental standards worldwide. Increasing exposure to power disruptions caused by climate volatility, infrastructure strain, and security threats has pushed governments, utilities, and enterprises to prioritize localized power systems that can operate independently when required. Microgrids are defined as self-sufficient energy networks with clear operational boundaries that can function in both connected and isolated modes. These systems combine distributed generation, energy storage, and intelligent control software to optimize performance and stability. They are increasingly deployed across industrial sites, campuses, and communities to improve reliability, reduce dependence on centralized grids, and align with sustainability objectives. Growing public and private investment in clean energy programs is improving project feasibility by lowering upfront costs. At the same time, advances in smart grid software, power electronics, and storage technologies are improving system efficiency, scalability, and long-term operational performance, supporting broader adoption across regions and applications.

The off-grid microgrid segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.2% through 2035, driven by rising electricity demand in areas where traditional grid expansion remains challenging. These systems provide dependable and environmentally responsible power solutions while supporting economic activity and infrastructure development in energy-constrained regions. Their ability to deliver consistent electricity without reliance on centralized networks makes them a critical component of long-term energy access strategies.

The AC microgrids segment accounted for a 51.8% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.3% from 2026 to 2035. Demand for AC-based systems is increasing due to their compatibility with existing power infrastructure and their effectiveness in addressing reliability challenges. Continued progress in storage integration, grid management software, and power conversion technologies, along with supportive policy frameworks, is strengthening investment momentum for this segment.

United States Microgrid Market held 81.6% share in 2025 and is expected to generate USD 10.5 billion by 2035. Market expansion is supported by policy-driven incentives, infrastructure modernization efforts, and heightened focus on energy resilience. Businesses and communities are increasingly adopting microgrids to secure uninterrupted power, reduce long-term energy costs, and advance decarbonization goals.

Key companies active in the Global Microgrid Market include Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, Eaton, General Electric, Honeywell International, Hitachi Energy, Caterpillar, Toshiba Corporation, Ameresco, Bloom Energy Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, S&C Electric Company, PowerSecure, Exelon Corporation, Delta Electronics, BoxPower, Heila Technologies, Power Analytics Global Corporation, General Microgrids, and Advanced Microgrid Systems.
