The power quality equipment market is entering a transformative phase as digitalization, electrification, and sustainability converge across global power systems. Valued at US$ 33.23 billion in 2024 and expected to reach US$ 50.33 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during 2025–2031, the market’s future will be defined not only by volume growth but by innovation-led differentiation.

In this eighth blog of the series, we explore the future trends, emerging technologies, and innovation pathways that will shape the power quality equipment market beyond 2031.

Why the Future of the Power Quality Equipment Market Looks Transformational

Electric power systems are evolving faster than ever before. The rise of renewable energy, electric vehicles, digital infrastructure, and smart manufacturing has increased power system complexity. As a result, power quality equipment is transitioning from reactive protection tools to proactive, intelligent system components.

Future growth will be driven by how effectively power quality solutions adapt to these changes and deliver measurable operational and sustainability benefits.

Key Future Trends Shaping the Power Quality Equipment Market

Digital and AI-Driven Power Quality Management

One of the most significant trends is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics into power quality equipment. Intelligent UPS systems, power quality meters, and harmonic filters are increasingly capable of:

• Predicting power disturbances before they occur
• Enabling condition-based and predictive maintenance
• Optimizing system performance in real time

AI-powered platforms will allow facility managers to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive power quality management.

Expansion of Smart Grids and Digital Substations

The global shift toward smart grids is creating long-term opportunities for advanced power quality equipment. Digital substations equipped with real-time monitoring and automated control require sophisticated power quality solutions to maintain stability and reliability.

Static VAR compensators and advanced monitoring systems will play a critical role in balancing voltage fluctuations and supporting dynamic grid conditions.

Renewable Energy and Distributed Energy Resources Integration

As renewable energy penetration increases, maintaining consistent power quality becomes more challenging. Solar, wind, and distributed energy resources introduce intermittency and harmonics that must be actively managed.

Future power quality equipment will be designed specifically to support renewable integration, offering faster response times and enhanced compatibility with inverter-based systems.

Innovation Trajectories by Equipment Type

Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS)

Future UPS systems will focus on higher efficiency, modular scalability, and digital connectivity. Innovations such as lithium-ion batteries, hybrid energy storage, and grid-interactive UPS designs will redefine their role in energy management.

UPS solutions are expected to evolve into multifunctional platforms that support backup power, energy optimization, and grid services.

Harmonic Filters

Next-generation harmonic filters will feature adaptive control mechanisms capable of responding to dynamic load changes. Active harmonic filtering technologies will become more prevalent, particularly in industrial and renewable energy applications.

These innovations will help organizations meet stricter power quality standards while improving overall system efficiency.

Static VAR Compensators (SVC)

SVC technology will continue to advance with improved response speed, compact design, and digital integration. Future SVCs will be increasingly software-driven, enabling precise reactive power control across complex networks.

They will play a vital role in stabilizing grids and supporting electrification initiatives worldwide.

Power Quality Meters

Power quality meters are set to become central intelligence nodes within electrical systems. Future meters will integrate seamlessly with cloud platforms, digital twins, and enterprise energy management systems.

Their role will expand from monitoring to strategic decision support, enabling long-term optimization of power infrastructure.

Sustainability as a Core Innovation Driver

Sustainability goals are reshaping product design in the power quality equipment market. Manufacturers are prioritizing:

• Energy-efficient designs with minimal losses
• Longer equipment lifecycles and recyclability
• Reduced carbon footprint across manufacturing and operations

Power quality solutions that align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives will gain stronger market acceptance.

Regional Innovation Hotspots

North America and Europe will continue to lead innovation through smart grid investments and advanced digital infrastructure. Asia Pacific will emerge as a major innovation hub due to large-scale industrialization, renewable energy expansion, and rapid adoption of smart manufacturing.

Emerging regions will increasingly leapfrog legacy systems by adopting modern, digitally enabled power quality solutions.

Strategic Role of Leading Companies

Major players such as Schneider Electric SE, Siemens AG, Eaton, General Electric Company, Emerson Electric Co., Hitachi ABB Power Grids Group, Toshiba Energy Systems & Solutions Corporation, AMETEK Inc., Acumentrics, and Piller Group GmbH are actively shaping the future through innovation, partnerships, and digital transformation.

Their investments in R&D, software platforms, and sustainable technologies will define competitive leadership beyond 2031.

Long-Term Market Outlook Beyond 2031

The evolution of the power quality equipment market will extend well beyond the current forecast period. As electrification accelerates and power systems become increasingly decentralized, demand for intelligent, adaptive, and resilient power quality solutions will intensify.

With the market advancing toward US$ 50.33 billion by 2031, innovation-led growth will set the foundation for the next decade of expansion.
