Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Equipment

US demand to rise 5.2% annually through 2019
US demand for electric power transmission and distribution (T&D) equipment is expected to rise 5.5 percent annually through 2019 to $33.4 billion. Growth in electricity generation by independent power producers (IPPs) and nonutility generators (NUGs), as well as greater electrical output utilizing renewable resources, will result in increased product sales, since these operations need to be appropriately equipped to deliver power to the electric grid. Furthermore, efforts to modernize the electric grid and improve efficiency and reliability will support market advances via the incorporation of “smart” technologies that provide a number of advantages, but also cost considerably more than conventional equipment.

IPPs & NUGs to drive growth in largest markets
The largest markets for electric power T&D equipment are the electric utility and industrial sectors. In 2014, electric utilities accounted for just over half of total demand, with the industrial sector — including NUGs — representing an additional one-third of the industry. Growth in these markets through 2019 will be supported by increasing electricity generation by IPPs and NUGs, which will require heavy investment by these firms to protect sensitive industrial machinery and connect new facilities to the grid. In addition, rising electric utility equipment spending will provide sales growth opportunities — even though these increases will moderate from the strong pace of the past decade.

The much smaller residential electric power T&D equipment market will post the fastest gains through 2019 as residential construction continues its recovery from 2009 lows and updates to the National Electric Code favor more advanced and more expensive arc-fault circuit interrupters. In contrast, the commercial, and government and institutional markets will post below average increases, with the latter expanding the slowest due to ongoing efforts to reduce budget deficits.
