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 TD 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 RD 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.
