The transmission and distribution segment is expected to lead the digital utility

The growth of the transmission and distribution segment is primarily driven by the aging infrastructure in the power utilities industry. New digital devices and communications and control systems improve the efficiency of assets and increase the ability of operators to monitor and manage electric transmission and distribution systems. This would ultimately create new revenue pockets for the market during the forecast period.

North America is expected to be the largest market for digital utility

The utilities in North America have been undergoing a digital transformation for the past several years. Utility providers in the region are focused on the upgradation of power infrastructure through digital technologies such as smart meters and smart grids, among others. The U.S. government launched the Smart Grid Investment Grant (SGIG) program for smart grid development. There was an investment of $118.5 billion, in 2016, in smart cities in the region; this is expected to increase to $244.5 billion by 2021.

Hence, the North American market presents a greater opportunity for the digital utility market.
