"The Smart Grid Market Will Attain a Value of $33.91bn in 2012" According to New Visiongain Report

London, United Kingdom, April 19, 2012 --(PR.com)-- The global smart grid market is expected to experience strong expansion during the following decade. However, the industry faces two crucial issues which remain to be addressed in the coming years: the merging of interoperability standards and more consistent integration of renewable energy into the grid. Once those two obstacles have been resolved large scale deployment of smart grid projects will become reality. Visiongain calculates that global smart grid market in 2012 will total $33.91bn.

The growth in smart grid expenditure will be fueled by large public and private investments in Asia Pacific, Latin America and North America. Europe, as a more developed smart grid market will see slower growth which will be in the short run negatively influenced by the weak economic climate across the EU. The smart grid market within the Middle East and Africa is currently fairly underdeveloped, however it holds a huge potential for growth during the following decade. The overall spending on smart grid infrastructure is tightly linked to governmental support, since public funds as well as favourable regulations are essential for the development of the market.
