Newton-Evans Research Releases 2021-2023 Edition of Nine Market Snapshot Reports on Distribution Automation Topics Covering the Electric Power Industry in the United States.
U.S. Sales of Distribution Automation Components estimated at more than $1.9 Billion in 2020, Forecast to Increase to $2.3 Billion by 2023.
August 30, 2021. Ellicott City, Maryland. The Newton-Evans Research Company has announced its latest publication of a set of 9 U.S. distribution automation market two-to-four-page summaries. The new series of market overview reports (executive market summaries) includes supplier listings, representative products, and estimated market segment size, vendor market share estimates and market outlook through 2023. Electric utilities accounted for about 92% of all purchases of distribution automation related goods and services.
A majority of distribution automation equipment purchased by American utilities and industrial firms is produced or assembled in the United States. U.S. sales of DA components including equipment smart controllers, DA applications software licensing, dedicated communications infrastructure and DA-related engineering services, is expected to exceed $2 Billion in 2021. Another several hundred million dollars will be spent again this year for “DA-related infrastructure equipment” including reclosers, MV voltage regulators and MV capacitors.
The Distribution Automation series ($975.00) includes U.S. 2020 market size, market share estimates and 2021-2023 market outlook for these product and service categories:
- DA01 – Automatic Circuit Recloser Controls
- DA02 – DA/DMS System Components (including distribution network analysis; distribution network condition monitoring and fault location and characterization)
- DA03 – Voltage Regulator Controls
- DA04 – Capacitor Bank Controllers
- DA05 – Fault Indicators (covering both fault current indicators and faulted circuit indicators)
- DA06 – Pole Top RTUs
- DA07 – Line Mounted Monitoring Devices
- DA08 – Communications Components for DA (covering PLC/DLC; cellular and 900Mhz)
- DA09 – Engineering Services for Distribution Automation Projects (covering consulting engineering services, related services provided by manufacturers; DA services provided by smart grid consulting specialists)
Importantly, in the chart below, note the pivotal role played by communications networks developed specifically for distribution automation applications being implemented by utilities across the nation. The market overview (DA08) further allocates DA communications spending estimates by three external service types: (BPL/PLC/DLC), Cellular and 900 MHz MAS.
Three related T&D market series have been published over the past several weeks by Newton-Evans. These include: Power and Distribution Transformers (14 summaries); High Voltage Equipment (15 summaries) and Medium Voltage Equipment (17 summaries).
Further information on each of the four updated T&D market overview series, and three series not yet updated from 2018, comprise more than 85 individual U.S. electric power industry market summaries.
