The global grid modernization and transmission infrastructure investment market has entered a structural supercycle. The market reached USD 250 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.4% to reach USD 545 billion by 2031, driven by the confluence of aging grid infrastructure replacement cycles, renewable energy interconnection demand, and the unprecedented load growth from AI data center electricity consumption.
This convergence of structural demand drivers -- decarbonization-driven renewable interconnection, electrification of transport and heating, and now AI-driven data center load growth -- represents a genuinely new capital investment cycle distinct from prior grid infrastructure spending waves, which were driven primarily by aging-asset replacement alone.
