Intelligent Electronic Devices Market

Global Intelligent Electronic Devices Market Size (2024-2032)

The Global Intelligent Electronic Devices Market was worth US$ 14.27 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 33.10 billion by 2032 from US$ 15.67 billion in 2024, and it is predicted to register a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period 2024-2032.

MARKET SCENARIO

The Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) is the term used to describe microprocessor-based controllers of power system equipment like circuit breakers, transformers and capacitor banks, in the electric power industry. The Intelligent Electronic Device can control commands by receiving the data from sensors and power equipment, such as tripping surface breakers if there are any anomalies in voltage, current or frequency, or fluctuations in voltages to maintain the desired level. Conventional IEDs include protective relaying devices, on-load tap charger controllers, circuit breaker controllers, capacitor bank switches, recloser controllers, voltage regulators, etc., The principles of these testers are generally controlled by a setting file and testing it is the most time-consuming role of protection tester.

The growth of this market is attributed to the growing number of smart grid initiatives across the globe that are driving to the implementation of a large number of intelligent electronic devices (IEDs). An increase in the Internet of Things (IoT) across various industries to aid multiple appliances such as smartphones and smart cities is the key factor boosting the Global Intelligent Electronic Device Market. In addition, the adoption of these devices in commercial and non-commercial applications across the globe is also a factor promoting the growth of intelligent electronic devices globally.
