Smart Grid Security Market: Industry Analysis And Detailed Profiles Of Top Industry Players

Some of the prominent participants in the global Smart Grid Security Market are Intel Corporation, Siemens AG, Symantec Corporation, IBM Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc, Leidos Holdings, Inc., Honeywell International Inc., BAE Systems Plc., N-Dimension Solutions Inc., and AlertEnterprise Inc.

At present, the global smart grid security market is fragmented and is characterized by the presence of numerous diversified local, regional, and international vendors who offer various services to the power utilities. However, in many countries, the market is dominated only by the local or regional vendors. This in turn, will predictably heat up competition in the market in upcoming years.


A report by Transparency Market Research predicts the global smart grid security market to progress at a healthy CAGR of 10.5% during the period between 2017 and 2025 to become worth US$10.58 bn by 2025 from US$4.35 bn in 2016.

Digitization of Grid Systems Drives North America Market

Depending upon the type of security, the global market for smart grid security can be segregated into application security, database security, network security, and endpoint security. Network security of smart grid security, of them, accounts for maximum share in the market and going forward too is expected to see impressive growth. Network security comprises of the approaches and practices received to monitor and prevent unauthorized access, modification, misuse or denial of a network accessible resources and computer network.


Geography-wise, the key segments of the global smart grid security market are North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. At present, North America accounts for maximum share in the market and going forward too is slated to expand at a healthy clip. In 2016, the North America market accounted for a share of 38.7%. The infrastructure in the region is gradually shifting toward digitalization of grid systems, especially for commercial usage, which is anticipated to propel the market for smart grid security over the forecast period. The U.S., in North America, holds maximum market share.

Efforts to Modernize Smart Grids Catalyze Market Growth

One of the major drivers of the global smart grid security market is obviously the thrust on modernizing the power grids, worldwide on account of the swift pace of urbanization and the resultant demand for more power. Smart grid systems benefit consumers, grid operators, and suppliers by improving control over electricity consumption and distribution. However, smart grids are highly susceptible to more and more sophisticated cyber-attacks. This has spawned the demand for smart grid security. Explains the lead analyst of the report, “The smart grid security market is expanding at a rapid pace because of the rising security needs resulting from the uptake of modern technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), along with digitalization of the energy sector and increased adoption of the web and cloud-based business applications.”


One of the major challenges facing the global smart grid security market, on the other hand, is the protracted investment cycles in the energy sector that makes technology assessment challenging and results in a time lag between implemented and up-to-date solutions.

Wi-Fi Chipset Market Poised for an Explosive Growth in the Near Future

Wi-Fi is a technology based on the IEEE 802.11 standard which connects two or more devices using wireless communication within a limited area such as office building, school, home, or computer laboratory. Usage of Wi-Fi has increased significantly in residential and commercial places since the last several years due to the ease of its installation and operation. Currently, a number of devices including video-game consoles, digital cameras, digital audio players, digital printers, smart TVs, tablets, phones, and personal computers are available with built-in Wi-Fi technology. These devices can connect to the internet with the help of wireless access point or wireless LAN (Local Area Network) and can provide control and monitoring of a system from a remote location. Wi-Fi chipsets usually operate in 2.4 gigahertz UHF (Ultra High Frequency) band and 5.8 gigahertz SHF (Super high frequency) band. Wi-Fi Alliance, comprising more than 375 organizations worldwide, establishes and enforces W...

Automotive Leaf Spring Suspension Market - Business Strategies and Recent Development

Key priorities of automotive manufacturers include increasing operational performance, improving drivability, and ensuring the safe transport of cargo and passengers. Increasing acceptance of hybrid and electric vehicles and integration of smart and connected technologies have prompted manufacturers to focus on improving the power and drivetrain systems such as clutch, transmission, propeller shaft, axle, and leaf springs. Leaf springs are located between the wheels and the body of the vehicle. When the wheel passes over a bump, it rises and deflects the spring; thereby, storing the energy in the spring. On releasing, due to the elasticity of the spring, it rebounds thereby expanding the stored energy. Increase in demand for automobiles globally, is driving the leaf spring market. The leaf springs are primarily used in light, medium, and heavy-duty commercial vehicles such as pick-up trucks and vans. Some passenger car manufacturers rely on use of leaf spring technology for bet...
