GBI Research's new report, Microcontroller Market to 2015 - Commissioning of Smart Grid Projects to Create Market Opportunities in Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Grid Equipmentprovides key information and analysis on the market opportunities in the global microcontrollerindustry. The report covers the latest information on the revenue and volume of the microcontrollers market.
The report provides product - based, region -based and end-use based forecasts up to 2015. Microcontroller usage in smart grid sector is increasing, as they provide greater reliability in power generation. Various devices and equipment contain microcontrollers and the report discusses their role and also gives a detailed market revenue breakdown along with the key players and their market shares.
Commissioning of Smart Grid Projects to Create Demand for Microcontroller-Based Products
The global smart grid sector was a $35 billion industry in 2011, with revenues coming from different segments, such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), IT and communication, grid security, advanced transmission, and energy storage. AMI mainly includes smart meters and other networking infrastructure required to connect the grid with the customers. Microcontrollers (MCUs) form the core of these smart meters which are used for various purposes, such as gas, water, and electricity monitoring.
The cumulative global market for smart grids during 2011-2015 is expected to be around $180 billion, with the investments in the market expected to double to $70 billion by 2015. This growth in smart grid investments is a major revenue source for MCUs. These investments are expected to follow the commissioning of new projects, mergers and acquisitions, alliances, private equity investments and so on, across key countries in America, Europe and Asia Pacific.
