Executive Summary

This report analyses the size and growth of the grid DERMS (distributed energy resource management system) market across major regions from 2025 to 2031. The Verdantix market size and forecast model evaluates how rising distributed energy resource (DER) penetration, hosting capacity constraints, grid modernization programmes, digital maturity and macroeconomic conditions influence DERMS adoption, penetration rates within the advanced distribution management system (ADMS)-installed base, and average deal values. While North America and Europe currently dominate revenues, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East and Africa are forecast to accelerate from a lower base. Overall, DERMS penetration is expected to expand materially within the addressable ADMS-equipped utility base by 2031, reflecting the transition of DER orchestration from pilot-stage deployments to core distribution system capability. Product leaders and strategists at DERMS and DERMS-adjacent vendors can use this report to tune their market strategies.
