Drivers

Increasing Demand for IoT (Internet of Things) Devices and Applications

• One of the major drivers for the growth of the global smart grid sensors market is the increasing demand for IoT (Internet of Things) devices and applications. The proliferation of connected devices, the need for seamless connectivity and data exchange has led to an increase in the adoption of smart sensors. These sensors play an important role in collecting and transmitting data from IoT devices, and enable real-time monitoring, automation and advanced decision making with Industries recognizing the benefits and potential of IoT-enabled smart sensor technology.

Supporting Legislative Framework for Governments Worldwide to Promote Smart Grid Implementation

• Governments around the world have imposed several supporting policies and mandates focused on implementing smart grids and spreading awareness of energy storage. This regulation is driving the adoption of smart grid technologies for industrial, commercial and residential.

• Through American Reinvestment and Reinvestment Act (Reinvestment) funds of 2009, the Department of Energy (DOE) was awarded $4.5 billion (about $14 per person in the US) to modernize 8 of the 99 cost-sharing projects in partnership with the DOE and the electricity industry has been in the Smart Grid Investment Grant ( SGIG) program Investing billions of dollars, with more than 200 electricity utilities and other sectors involved in modernizing electric grid systems, strengthening cybersecurity, working a further, and collect unprecedented data on smart grid operations and benefits.

Restraints

High Cost of Installing Smart Grids

• The first phase of smart grid implementation is costly. It could restrain the growth of the global smart grid sensors market. Local and national governments play an important role in transforming the energy system. Smart grid technology requires a significant initial investment to create messages that will provide two-way communication between the utility and its customers.

Efficient Storage and Management of Complex Data Generated by Smart Grid Infrastructure

• The implementation of smart grid technology has resulted in a wealth of extremely complex data. The data covers customer profiles, utility consumption, transmission cycle, etc. It is not structured properly and needs to be processed to yield important insights. The constant flow of data from nodes in the network poses challenges for smart grid solution providers to collect and manage this data. Unmanaged data can pose many threats and can ultimately become complicated to gain valuable insights from the data. The relevant authorities should build robust data centers and implement analytics solutions without increasing costs.
