The global mobile substations market is expected to reach a valuation of USD 1879.6 Mn in 2032, with the market growing at a healthy CAGR of 7.2% from 2022 to 2032. Driven by extensive application in the utility sector, the target market will likely reach an estimated USD 934.7 Mn by the end of 2022. Mobile substations are often used to fill electricity gaps in the grid which results in large-scale application of the same in the utility sector as these substations play a vital role in transmitting and distributing power. Hence, usage in utility sector is a primary growth-driver for the mobile substations market during the forecast period.

Escalating degree of power transmission issues along with an imbalance within the transmission network amplify the demand for mobile substations. This is because mobile substations assist in strengthening the dependability of the primary high-voltage transmission grid. The concept of a modular, plug-and-play mobile substation allows grid connections and stability under any conditions. This positively impacts the market for mobile substations.
