LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global smart grid transmission and distribution equipment market report. This research report also lists 10 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

Competitive vendor landscape

The global smart grid T&D market is characterized by the presence of established vendors. In several regions, local or regional vendors dominate the market, increasing the competition in the market. The leading vendors in the market have a large portfolio of power plant-related equipment and services, which can be customized according to customer requirements. “These vendors also have high capital resources and dedicated R&D funds for developing new technologies. This is a challenge for medium and small vendors who have fewer resources. Several local and regional vendors provide good quality storage devices at lower prices than the international vendors,” says Vishu Rai, a lead analyst at Technavio for smart grid.

The report further states that though several new vendors are emerging in this market, they find it difficult to compete with the existing vendors in terms of quality, functionalities, and services. The competitive environment in this market is likely to further intensify during the forecast period. International players are projected to grow inorganically during the forecast period by acquiring or forging partnerships with regional or local players.
