Partial Discharge Monitoring Systems Market is growing due to rising predictive maintenance demand, strict reliability standards, and increased smart grid and automation investments.

According to the TechSci Research report titled “Partial Discharge Monitoring Systems Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the global Partial Discharge Monitoring Systems (PDMS) market was valued at USD 608.78 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 855.19 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.67% during the forecast period.

The market is being shaped by a dynamic mix of technical innovation, regulatory mandates, and aging infrastructure—all of which are driving the adoption of advanced condition-monitoring tools. Partial discharge monitoring has emerged as a critical solution for ensuring the operational integrity and lifespan of high-voltage electrical assets, including transformers, switchgear, cables, and motors. These assets, many of which were installed decades ago, are increasingly susceptible to insulation degradation. PDMS enables early detection of such degradation, helping utilities and industrial operators prevent catastrophic failures and avoid costly unplanned outages.

Growing awareness of the financial impact of downtime—especially in energy-intensive sectors like manufacturing, oil & gas, and data centers—is prompting companies to shift from reactive to predictive maintenance strategies. PDMS plays a central role in this transition by providing continuous, real-time diagnostics and insights into asset health.

Regulatory compliance is also a major growth driver. Governments and grid operators across the globe are enforcing stricter standards for electrical safety, reliability, and environmental stewardship. Many grid codes now mandate routine partial discharge assessments and digital recordkeeping for high-voltage components. To meet these requirements and avoid penalties, utilities are investing in both permanent and portable monitoring systems.

At the same time, technological advances are revolutionizing PDMS capabilities. Innovations in IoT sensors, AI-driven analytics, and cloud computing are transforming these systems into intelligent, integrated platforms. Modern PDMS solutions not only capture partial discharge activity but also analyze data patterns, detect anomalies, and issue predictive alerts—often accessible remotely. This makes asset monitoring more efficient, scalable, and effective, especially in distributed and hard-to-reach locations.

The global push toward grid digitization is also amplifying the demand for PDMS. As renewable energy sources such as wind and solar gain market share, their inherent intermittency places greater stress on electrical infrastructure. PDMS helps mitigate these stresses by ensuring that transformers and switchgear operate within safe insulation limits despite fluctuating loads and environmental factors. In renewable-rich regions, PDMS adoption is growing as part of broader efforts to maintain grid stability and equipment longevity.

Remote monitoring has also gained momentum following the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the importance of minimizing onsite labor. PDMS systems that support autonomous operation and remote data access align well with these new operational models.

Economically, the declining cost of electronic sensors and data acquisition systems is lowering the barrier to entry for PDMS. With more affordable options and the availability of SaaS-based platforms and remote advisory services, a wider range of organizations can now access and justify investment in these systems. The return on investment is clear: reduced maintenance costs, fewer outages, extended equipment lifespan, and deferred capital expenditures.

Emerging economies in Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East are increasingly embracing PDMS as part of electrification and infrastructure modernization initiatives. New T&D (transmission and distribution) projects often include integrated condition monitoring systems from the outset. Development banks and ESG-linked funding sources also prefer projects that incorporate predictive diagnostics, further boosting demand.

The competitive landscape is becoming more dynamic with increased collaboration between OEMs, software developers, and engineering firms. Vendors are bundling PDMS with complementary technologies such as gas-insulated switchgear, digital twins, and cybersecurity modules, enhancing the value proposition and enabling cross-selling opportunities.

Application Insights

In terms of application, the transformers segment held the largest market share in 2024. This dominance stems from the growing complexity and value of transformer assets in transmission and distribution networks. A failure in a major transformer can lead to millions in losses and serious service disruptions, making PD monitoring essential.

Smart grid initiatives further bolster this trend by requiring continuous, real-time visibility into asset health. PDMS integrates well with these digital grids, providing actionable diagnostics that help optimize maintenance schedules and minimize unplanned downtime. Regulatory mandates in developed markets and zero-tolerance policies for transformer failure in critical sectors like data centers and petrochemical industries are reinforcing the need for permanent PD surveillance.

In developed regions, aging infrastructure is increasing the incidence of PD-related faults, prompting retrofitting of legacy equipment with online monitoring. In contrast, emerging markets are installing new transformers equipped with built-in PDMS as standard. Technological innovations—such as high-sensitivity capacitive, acoustic, and optical sensors combined with wireless communications—are also improving accuracy and ease of deployment.

PDMS for transformers is increasingly being integrated with SCADA systems, enabling centralized dashboards, alarm management, trend analysis, and lifecycle optimization. In high-voltage and extra-high-voltage applications, PD monitoring is critical due to elevated stress levels. The growing demand for reliable electricity in industrial facilities further supports this trend.

Leading manufacturers and service providers are evolving business models beyond hardware sales by offering cloud-based analytics, subscription models, and long-term service agreements. These shifts help foster recurring revenue while meeting the evolving needs of asset managers seeking more proactive and data-driven approaches.

Regional Insights

The Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing market for PDMS. Rapid industrialization, grid expansion, and renewable energy integration across countries such as China, India, and Southeast Asia are driving investments in electrical reliability and predictive maintenance.

Governments in the region are supporting PDMS adoption through incentives for grid modernization and digital infrastructure upgrades. The proliferation of data centers, manufacturing plants, and transportation networks is adding to the urgency for condition-based asset management.

The region’s emphasis on smart infrastructure, including the integration of IoT sensors and advanced data analytics, is creating strong demand for intelligent, cloud-connected PDMS platforms. As utilities and private sector players seek to improve system uptime and reduce technical losses, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain a major engine of growth for the global market.
