It will grow from $2.48 billion in 2024 to $2.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the greater integration of renewable energy sources, the increasing need for real-time grid monitoring, the rising automation of power distribution, the heightened emphasis on minimizing power outages, and the growing investments in smart grid projects.

The power supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be linked to the rising demand for cybersecurity solutions, the increasing adoption of cloud-based supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems, the growing deployment of digital substations, the surge in urbanization and power demand, and the expansion of government initiatives for grid modernization. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in artificial intelligence integration, progress in cybersecurity, the development of edge computing within power systems, innovations in IEC 61850-based solutions, and enhancements in human-machine interface technologies.

The growing demand for cybersecurity solutions is anticipated to drive the expansion of the power supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) market in the coming years. Cybersecurity solutions refer to tools and techniques designed to safeguard computers, networks, and data from unauthorized access or malicious activity. This rising demand is fueled by the increasing threat of online attacks, which creates a greater need for strong protective measures to secure sensitive information. Within SCADA systems, cybersecurity solutions play a crucial role by enabling the quick detection of and response to suspicious activities or potential breaches. For example, in April 2025, the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation & Technology reported that the proportion of businesses impacted by ransomware crimes rose from less than 0.5% in 2024 to 1% in 2025, equating to around 19,000 businesses. This illustrates how the growing demand for cybersecurity solutions is contributing to the growth of the SCADA market.

Companies in the power SCADA market are increasingly developing innovative hardware with real-time control capabilities to improve responsiveness, boost grid reliability, and ensure smooth integration with renewable energy sources. Real-time control enables a system to continuously gather data, process it, and make operational adjustments within very short time frames. For instance, in October 2024, Aspen Technology, a US-based industrial software company, introduced the AspenTech Microgrid Management System to optimize energy distribution, strengthen grid resilience, and manage decentralized power resources for greater efficiency and sustainability. This advanced SCADA system incorporates sophisticated data processing and integration with renewable energy, allowing it to support stable grid operations, improve efficiency, and advance the development of smarter and more resilient power networks. Its versatility allows efficient handling of diverse energy sources and load requirements through the application of advanced analytics for optimized power distribution and stability.

In January 2023, Schneider Electric, a France-based industrial technology company, completed the acquisition of AVEVA for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition was aimed at combining Schneider Electric’s expertise in energy management and automation with AVEVA’s industrial software and SCADA capabilities. Together, the two companies seek to deliver comprehensive digital solutions designed to monitor, control, and optimize both power and industrial operations. AVEVA, headquartered in the UK, is an industrial software provider known for its SCADA solutions, including AVEVA Plant SCADA and AVEVA InTouch.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.

Power supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) is a unified system architecture that facilitates centralized monitoring, control, and automation of power generation, transmission, and distribution. It does so by collecting, transmitting, and analyzing real-time data from geographically distributed assets through a combination of communication networks, data processing technologies, and human-machine interfaces. Its primary purpose is to improve operational efficiency, reliability, safety, and decision-making in power system management.

The key components of power supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) include hardware, software, and services. Hardware encompasses the physical elements such as remote terminal units (RTUs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, servers, and communication devices that support data collection, processing, and real-time control of power systems. The system can be based on open system architecture (OSA) or closed system architecture, with deployment models including on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid. It serves end-use industries such as power generation, transmission, distribution, oil and gas, utilities, metals and mining, transportation, manufacturing, and more.
