Growth in demand side management is expected to occur in all regions, with deeper savings in mature markets and new market share in regions with less program penetration

June 12, 2019 – Boulder, CO – A new report from Navigant Research provides a high-level examination of the global demand side management (DSM) market, offering market forecasts for electric DSM capacity, sites, and spending, segmented by region, through 2028.

New distributed energy resource technologies and changing customer expectations have created opportunities for growth in the DSM market. Demand response (DR) and energy efficiency programs are an important component in meeting changing regulatory requirements, supporting distributed generation, and delivering new business models and revenue streams.  Click to tweet: According to a new report from Navigant Research, longstanding DSM and new business models are expected to lead to an estimated $63.6 billion in spending in 2028.

“Growth in DSM is expected to take place in all regions of the world, with deeper savings in mature markets and new market share in regions with less program penetration,” says Jessie Mehrhoff, research analyst at Navigant Research. “Integrated DSM will also generate operational and capital savings for program providers in more mature markets.”

Edge computing and data analytics is also likely to speed rates of actionable insights for DSM program providers.
