Munich, Germany – 25th November 2020

This report encompasses an overall analysis of the impact that Covid-19 will have on the power grid market of different economies around the world. The influence of Covid-19 has been multi-dimensional, intricate, and far-reaching globally. Different organizations gauged its impact on the global economy, but the analysis has been somewhat differing and divergent. Therefore, PTR has brought all the expert opinions from various organizations under one umbrella to understand the impact of Covid-19 holistically, not only on the global economy but also on individual key markets. It is of paramount importance that the countries be analyzed separately since the impact of Covid-19 has been different in different countries.

Also, it is crucial to recognize that the impact on the global economy will trickle down to the energy sector, particularly the power grid market. For that, PTR has vigorously analyzed several important markets in APAC, Americas, and EMEA regions and calculated the impact of Covid-19 on these markets in 2020. Subsequently, PTR has also predicted the recovery that should be expected from them in 2021.

Additionally, a detailed analysis has also been provided on the impact of the pandemic on the application verticals such as generation, utility, automotive, oil and gas, and mining and metals. These industries form an integral part of a country’s economic landscape. Hence, it is important to shine a spotlight on these sectors individually.

Moreover, a deep-dive on the financials of tier-1 Original Equipment Manufacturers such as ABB, Eaton, Schneider Electric, and Siemens has been provided as a standalone section in this report. This data offers a unique perspective on the impact that the pandemic has had on the sales of T&D equipment in Q1, Q2, and Q3 2020 across different regions of the world.

Lastly, the policy response to Covid-19 has also been highlighted in this report. As the second wave of the pandemic continues to infect millions of people across the globe, in turn, adversely impacting the economy of the country, It is of utmost significance to understand the actions taken by respective governments in their efforts to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 in their countries.
