In 2013, Americas is the largest market in terms of market revenue for FACTS equipment and the major drivers for FACTS demand in this region include up-gradation and replacement of aging power infrastructure. APAC is the potential and fastest growing market for FACTS devices with a CAGR of 8.87% from 20132018 and it is expected to overcome the Americas in terms of FACTS market revenue in 2018.

Several governments of different countries have taken many initiatives to implement environmental friendly power systems in order to reduce carbon emissions. The European commission 20-20-20 objectives are also expected to surge the market demand of FACTS. The European commission aims at 20% reduction in emission, 20% improvement in energy efficiency and 20% renewable energies by 2020. In addition, the stringent environmental regulations which prevent the construction of new transmission lines in some regions like Europe and Americas also play a crucial role in the growing demand of FACTS worldwide.

In this report, we segmented the global FACTS market by three major compensation types: Shunt Compensation, Series Compensation and Combined shunt and series connected compensation. Shunt compensation holds the maximum market share in terms of market revenue i.e. 77.41% and expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.11% from 2013 to 2018.
