Rising urbanization drives the market for electric transmission and distribution equipment
Rising urbanization and the increasing demand for smart appliances across the globe is expected to drive the growth of the electric transmission and distribution equipment market. The rising need for electric appliances in the population for a better lifestyle and convenience drives the growth of the market. In urbanization, the increasing industrialization infrastructure, and commercial area tends to the higher demand of the electric transmission and distribution equipment market. The increasing requirement for technologically advanced electrical equipment for smart houses, offices, etc., and the changing lifestyle habits of people around the globe are expected to increase the demand growth of the electric transmission and distribution equipment market. The increase in disposable income and adaptation of digitization positively impacts the growth of the electric transmission and distribution equipment market.
High cost of installation
Although there are many benefits and uses of electrical power transmission and distribution equipment, there are some market-hampering factors that restrain the growth of the overall market. The initial cost of material and installation of the power grid or the electric power generation is expensive, at the time of installation amount of protective devices are used like a transformer, overhead components, switchgear, etc. it also needed the relay, circuit breakers, and contractor to avoid a dangerous outbreak. More insulator is required for better connectivity. These factors show that the initial installation cost is higher than expected and would hamper the growth of the electric power transmission and distribution equipment market.
Rising focus on the utilization of renewable energy
Renewable energy is the best alternative to fossil fuel energy most organizations are looking for investment in emission-free energy. The increasing awareness of global warming in the people and shifting mindset to the renewable source of energy would drive the market to renewable energy. There are some sources of renewable energy such as wind, solar, geothermal energy, biomass, etc. Renewable energy reduced fossil fuel use and reduced the cost of electricity.
