The global microgrid controller market size attained approximately USD 5.45 Billion in 2024. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 21.00% in the forecast period of 2025-2034, reaching a value of around USD 36.66 Billion by 2034.
Key Trends in the Market
A microgrid controller is a system of software and hardware devices that manages the electricity distribution and balances grid fluctuations. It enhances the performance of the microgrid and can either operate as a stand-alone or require a connection with the main grid.
- The growing demand for an uninterrupted and dependable power supply boosts the microgrid controller market growth. The system reduces incidents of sudden blackouts and power outages due to its ability to disconnect from the traditional grid and function independently.
- The rise in popularity of eco-friendly energy solutions due to growing environmental awareness also boosts the demand for microgrid controllers as they can be utilised for automating the charging of solar panels and batteries of electrical vehicles. Moreover, the growing demand for autonomous power supply is one of the significant microgrid controller market trends.
- Microgrids can combat issues such as power outages and extreme weather while supporting cities to reduce greenhouse emissions. This, coupled with the increasing focus on balancing energy fluctuations, to ensure reliable control of microgrids and enhance energy efficiency is aiding the microgrid controller market demand.
