Connectivity Modernizes Grid Communication in North America

Februrary 5, 2018

Frost & Sullivan’s new analysis, North American Digital Grid Communication Infrastructure, Forecast to 2023, provides an assessment of disruptive trends and technologies, market share, and competitive analysis of key players such as ABB, Siemens, Landis & Gyr, Elster, and Itron. The research finds that the market is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate of 9.1 percent from 2016 to 2023, reaching an estimated $1 billion by 2023 in North America.

With grid edge intelligence expected to gain prominence, utilities will increasingly deploy smart communication devices across various transmission and distribution assets. Adhering to open protocols and standards will ensure interoperability of products across vendors and the possibility of future system expansion.

“The rapidly changing market environment demands flexibility in the communications infrastructure,” said Frost & Sullivan Global Program Leader – Digital Grids Farah Saeed. “With a forward-looking market, vendors should develop a compelling business model like the communication-as-a-service model to improve bottom-line results for end users.”
