Global Grid Cybersecurity Market to Surge $25.68 Billion by 2034 – BIS Research

What is Grid Cybersecurity? 

Grid cybersecurity encompasses technologies, policies, and practices designed to protect the digital and physical components of electrical power systems from cyber threats. This includes securing SCADA systems, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), substation automation, cloud-based Energy Management Systems (EMS), and distributed energy resources (DERs).  

What is the Current Market Outlook for Grid Cybersecurity? 

North America leads adoption, driven by mandatory NERC CIP compliance and frequent threat incidents (e.g., Colonial Pipeline, Ukraine grid attacks). The U.S. Department of Energy’s Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery Systems (CEDS) program accelerates R&D and pilot deployments. Europe follows closely, with the NIS2 Directive and EU Cyber Resilience Act enforcing stricter security-by-design requirements for grid vendors and operators. Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region, as China, India, Japan, and South Korea modernize grids with smart meters and renewable integration creating urgent demand for scalable, cloud-native security solutions. Key trends include AI-driven Security Operations Centers (SOCs) for utilities, micro-segmentation of OT networks, and blockchain for secure firmware updates in field devices.
