Substations are the critical nodes in any electrical generation, transmission, and distribution systems that are designed for enabling transformation of voltages and several other essential functions such as monitoring, protection, and switching. Advantages such as space savings over the conventional substations, lesser installation times coupled with commendable safety and aesthetics have propelled the attractiveness for the skid mounted unit substations in the end-use sector. Aging infrastructure requiring refurbishment & replacement and high rate of industrialization & urbanization are the key growth drivers for this market. Reduced maintenance, high level of safety from cyber-attacks, and real-time monitoring are some of the benefits that distinguish modular substation from a traditional substation. Skid mounted unit substation is an ideal solution for smart cities as well as traditional networks which require technical upgrades. Such solution proves to be cost effective and increase the reliability on the T&D networks with reduced downtimes and power outages. However, innovations in the automation substation market are anticipated to hinder the market growth.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
- The coronavirus's unfavorable global effects are already evident, and had a big impact on the skid mounted unit substations market in 2020.
- The World Health Organization declared a public health emergency after the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019. The disease has spread to over 100 nations and resulted in massive deaths globally. Exports & imports, global manufacturing, tourism, and financial sectors have all been heavily damaged.
- The downward pressure on the global economy, which had previously shown signs of improvement, has escalated once more. The outbreak of the virus has added danger factors to the international economy's already sluggish development. Many international groups have stated that the global economy is experiencing its most difficult moment since the financial crisis.
- Since the pandemic, the restriction of imports and exports has affected the skid mounted unit substations market to a great extent as consumers’ consumption and demand patterns are changing amidst the pandemic.
Top Impacting Factors
The rise in urbanization and industrialization, aging power infrastructure, and minimum spatial of requirements are factors expected to drive the global modular substation market. Aging electricity generation and distribution infrastructure are among the biggest challenges that utilities face today. Due to the failure of power infrastructure, huge costs are incurred by the utilities and grid operators. Aging infrastructure is the biggest threat to the energy supply in the US and require replacement and refurbishment. So, skid mounted unit substations and other equipment are required for reliable energy supply. Also, they save space and are useful for upgrading power infrastructure where space is at a premium. Such factors are expected to drive the global skid mounted substations market.
