Behavioral and Analytical Demand-Side Management Spending is Expected to Total $9.4 Billion from 2015 to 2024, According to Navigant Research

A recent report from Navigant Research analyzes the behavioral and analytical demand-side management (DSM) market, including the residential and commercial and industrial (C&I) sectors, with global market forecasts, through 2024.

Behavioral and analytical DSM are both relatively new methods of increasing energy savings beyond what traditional DSM systems can achieve. Behavioral DSM tends to focus on educating consumers to encourage more energy savings, while analytical DSM uses equipment monitoring and data analytics to locate areas where additional savings can be found.

“Studies have shown that giving customers simpler ways to access energy information from their power providers can boost customer satisfaction and loyalty,” says Brett Feldman, principal research analyst with Navigant Research. “More often, and in the energy industry specifically, customers prefer to learn about new services through digital channels like email, web portals, and mobile apps; these digital communications grant another avenue to further the utility-customer relationship.”

Some utilities are resistant to the changing energy landscape and the introduction of technologies that empower customers to better control their energy consumption and bills, according to the report. Natural skepticism and a resistance to change in the evolving energy space can cause a major barrier to the wider implementation of behavioral and analytical DSM programs.

The report, Behavioral and Analytical Demand-Side Management, examines the global behavioral and analytical DSM market, with a focus on two sectors: residential and C&I. The study provides an analysis of utility case studies and market issues, including drivers and barriers, associated with behavioral and analytical DSM. Global market forecasts for spending, segmented by category (behavioral and analytical), sector, and region, extend through 2024. The report also looks at the competitive landscape of behavioral and analytical DSM to identify and highlight the strengths and challenges of key players in the market.
