Global High Voltage Direct Current Transmission Market Size, Share, And Trends By Technology (Line Commuted Converter, Voltage Source Converter, Capacitor Commutated Converter, Others), By Application (Off-shore Power Transmission, On-shore Application), By Project Type (Point-to-Point, Back-to-Back, Multi-terminal), By Transmission Type (Submarine, Overhead, Underground), By Component (Filter, Converter Stations, Transmission Cables, Others), By DC Link Type (Monopolar, Bipolar, Homopolar), And By Geography – Forecast From 2019 To 2024

High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission is the massive transmission of electricity over long distances in the form of direct current, leading to cost saving and lesser loss as compared to HVAC transmission. The HDVC market is expected to have significant growth during the forecast period owing to the growing electricity consumption and the increasing investments in energy infrastructure. Integration of renewable energy into the HDVC system is also expected to drive the market growth in the coming years. However, high installation and implementation cost and standardization of HDVC system are expected to be a restraint for the market during the next five years.

The VSC based technology is expected to have the largest market share due to its increasing application in offshore, submarine and underground application. By geography, the APAC region is estimated to have a significant market growth due to an increase in investment in the energy sector in the region
