The World Market Study of SCADA, EMS, DMS and OMS in Electric Utilities:
2017-2019

Description

A Four-Volume Report by Newton-Evans Research Company
Newton-Evans’ World Market Study of SCADA, Energy Management Systems, Distribution Management Systems and Outage Management Systems in Electric Utilities: 2017-2019 is a four volume, multi-client market report. Participants in this market study include utility engineers and managers from investor-owned utilities, municipal and provincial utilities, cooperative utilities within the United States and Canada, together with national power systems throughout the world.

The study measures current market sizes and will contain projections on a world region basis for the next several years. The entire research program helps define the product and market requirements which suppliers must meet in order to successfully participate in one or more of these diverse world market regions.

In the first quarter of 2013, Newton-Evans estimated a combined value of awards for EMS, SCADA, DMS, OMS and energy exchange and ISO/RTO systems at upwards of $6.5 Billion over 4 years. It is important for electric utilities and control system vendors to learn how changes in the world market conditions since then will affect the outlook for 2017-2019.

Volume 1, North American Market
PDF 112 pages. This year’s survey sample represents about one third of all North American end-users of electricity, and about 20% of transmission (HV) substations, 14% of distribution (MV), and 12% of distribution line miles, survey findings from this group indicated a total of 11,775 pole top RTUs, 35,943 secondary RTUs or smart DA devices, nearly 10,000 substation RTUs and a variety of other automation devices or operational components. Responses to each question are broken out by company type (IOU, Public, Coop, Canada) and size (small: <100,000 customers; medium: 100,000-499,999 customers; large: ≥500,000).

Volume 2, International Market
PDF 94 pages. Thirty-one utilities from 25 countries participated in the 2017-2019 study. The prior study (2013-2015) had included participation from 46 utilities in 34 countries. Collectively, the three most recent studies of EMS, SCADA, DMS and OMS have included participation from more than 100 international utilities in more than 50 countries outside of North America. For those questions that had been asked in prior surveys, the narrative summary from those earlier studies has been included in this report to provide previous survey findings.

Volume 3, World Market Assessment and Forecast
PDF 54 pages. The World Market Assessment and Forecast is based on 98 market research surveys from 24 countries, viewpoints gathered from systems integrators, consultants and private client research programs, and Newton-Evans’ internal estimates and projections. Additionally, Newton-Evans bases its outlook for utility control systems on (a) reviews of past studies; (b) research from related commissioned studies; (c) extracts from respected financial and economic indicators including the World Bank and UN data sources and other important international NGO and banking partners; and (d) external viewpoints provided by industry market participants (integrators and consultants). Volume Three also provides summary estimates and outlook information for the global market for electric power operational control and monitoring systems, including those operated by Operations units (EMS, SCADA and DMS) and some guided by IT or customer services groups (outage management systems). This material is allocated into six world regional summaries that include: North America, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific and South Asia.

Volume 4, Supplier Profiles
PDF 96 pages. Summaries of 32 companies that provide equipment and/or services in the Electric Power Transmission and Distribution control systems marketplace. Includes Company Histories, Key Personnel, Products and Services, and information on operations, revenue and customers where available.

Here is a .pdf brochure for this series.
