Residential Energy Management Systems

In-Home and Grid-Based Home Energy Management Systems: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts: 2023-2032

Residential energy management systems (REMS) monitor and manage one or more parts of a home’s energy system. The many diverse types of REMS on the market generally fall into one of two broad categories: in-home systems, also known as behind-the-meter, and grid-based systems. In-home systems include any devices in a home that monitors and manages one of more end uses, like smart thermostats or EV chargers. Grid-based systems help utilities better engage their residential customers to manage their energy use.

The market for REMS is expected to grow over the next decade due to greater demand for home energy management solutions from the two main customer segments in this market: residents and utilities. Residents are expected to become increasingly interested in REMS as they continue adopting distributed energy resources like solar generation and electrical vehicles because these systems can help them manage their new energy resources and maximize the use of them. Utilities are also expected to be increasingly interested in REMS as a tool to improve their demand side management strategies.

This Guidehouse Insights report analyzes the global market for REMS in two main segments: in-home REMS and grid-based REMS. It provides an analysis of market drivers and barriers,  and provides an overview of the many types of companies entering the market with new solutions. Global market forecasts for number of households with REMS and revenue, broken out by technology type and region, extend from 2023 through 2032.
