The "Utilities
Market Global Briefing 2017" report has been added to Research
and Markets' offering.
The utilities industry is one of the largest and fastest growing
industries in the world. The term utilities refers to electricity,
natural gas, water and sewerage services consumed by the public,
hospitals, schools and other institutions, agriculture, factories and
commercial establishments. In some countries these services are provided
commercially by national, state or municipal governments or by
cooperatives; in many, however, they are provided by the private sector.
Asia Pacific was the largest region in the utilities market in 2016,
accounting for around 39% market share. This was mainly due to presence
to a large number of households and industries in Asian countries such
as China, India and Japan.
Eastern Europe was the smallest region accounting for around 2.5% market
share. This was due to small market size, unfavorable national policies,
political influence on pricing and lack of political support for
renewables.
One of the major trends shaping the utilities market include energy
storage in batteries. Electric power generation companies are
increasingly using batteries to store solar energy during daylight
hours. These energy-storage sites consist of large lithium-ion
batteries. These batteries store enough energy to serve as a back-up in
case of fuel shortages. They are designed to absorb solar power and feed
it back to the grid. These systems minimize the need for capital
intensive power generation plants, thereby enhancing transmission and
distribution efficiencies and thus reduce operational costs.
