U.S. HVDC Transmission System Market  Analysis Report 2025: Market to Grow by a CAGR of 6.52 to 2033, Driven by Government Incentives, Popularity of Virtual Assistants, and Strategic Partnerships

Key Insights

The U.S. HVDC Transmission System Market size was valued at USD 1.27 USD Billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 1.98 USD Billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.52 % during the forecast period. HVDC Transmission System refers to a direct current transmission system that is in high voltage for the transmitting of electricity over large distances at small losses. This is particularly relevant for operation of offshore or submarine cables, asynchronous interconnection of power systems, and high-voltage bulk power transmission. HVDC systems come in two types, Line Commutated Converters (LCC) and Voltage Source Converters (VSC). LCC is preferable for obtaining high power transmission and long distances, while VSC is preferred for fluctuations in renewable energy resources. The advantages of HVDC include lower transmission losses, improved stability, as well as better control over the power this allows the connection of dissimilar power grids. Application of the multi-terminal HVDC has been receiving attention in the recent past in the integration and in the expansion of the offshore wind power facilities among other aspects of the market.
