Energy Management System Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)
Rising investments in power transmission and distribution networks coupled with the growing augmentation and modernization of transmission and distribution networks across the globe are expected to drive the market. As per the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), an energy management system (EMS) is a framework for energy consumers, including industrial, commercial, and public sector organizations, to manage their energy use. It assists businesses in identifying opportunities to adopt and improve energy-saving technologies, including those that do not necessitate a large capital investment. In most cases, successful EMS implementation requires specialized knowledge and staff training. Thus, with the rising energy consumption coupled with the integration of mandatory environmental regulations and policies in the current energy management ecosystem, the global EMS market is expected to witness exponential growth during the forecast period.
The global energy management system market is expected to witness a CAGR of around 18% during the forecast period (2021–2027). Energy management is the process of tracking and optimizing energy consumption to conserve usage. Some of the features of EMS are collecting and analyzing continuous data, identifying optimizations in equipment schedules, setting points and flow rates to improve energy efficiency, calculating return on investment, and executing energy optimization solutions, among others. Thus, the EMS market is expected to witness exponential growth during the forecast period owing to the growing focus on energy conservation and management. Moreover, the surging consumption of electricity in developing countries are escalating the adoption of the smart grid coupled with the increasing need to upgrade existing infrastructure has positively influenced the market growth. In 2021, China witnessed an increase in electricity demand of 10%. This was mainly led by the industrial sector such as cement, construction, steel, and other metals, among others.
IBM Corporation, Rockwell Automation Inc., General Electric Co., Schneider Electric SE, Cisco Systems Inc., Tendril Networks Inc., Eaton Corporation, EnerNOC Inc., Elster Group GMBH, and SAP SE are some of the key players in the market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
