Within its 182 pages and over 24 charts and tables, the report sieves out the facts and draws conclusions as to what is shaping the future of the Smart Grid industry;
- We estimate that to achieve full penetration of the world’s existing grid together with future extensions to 2030; will require an investment of some $2 trillion on pure Smart Grid equipment at installed prices.
- There are currently at least 1,700 companies in the world manufacturing hardware and software products for the electrical transmission and distribution market which have annual sales of over $5 million per annum. Of these, companies having annual sales of over a $1 billion account for 65% of the business but only 1% by number.
- Total spend on power transmission & distribution equipment in 2010 was some $106 billion and is forecast to rise 5.3% per year through 2013 to $124 billion.
- We estimate that the sales of Smart Grid systems were $16 billion in 2010 and this clearly shows that the business is still in its embryonic stages. It is also very unbalanced because the current share taken by smart meters is running at over 30% of the market.
- In the space of 5 years mergers and acquisitions have grown from $134 million in 2007 to $10.6 billion in 2011. Both the growth and now scale indicate the supply side is gearing up to meet the requirements of new technology and forecast demand for pure Smart Grid products and systems.
- VC Companies invested some $1 billion per year in 2010 and 2011 in Smart Grid supplier companies. They have recouped some investments through 3 major IPO’s during that time. So far most other private equity investors have stayed away from the acquisition dealing tables.
For only USD $999 for a single user license or USD $1,499 for a company license, this report provides valuable information into how Smart Grid companies might develop their business through merger, acquisition and alliance.
