AI-Driven Growth Set to Transform US Power Equipment Market

Published on April 28, 2026

The U.S. power equipment market was steadily valued at $21 billion, serving traditional energy sectors. Manufacturers were focused on upgrading existing infrastructures and meeting consistent demand. Investments were primarily directed towards renewable energies and efficiency upgrades.

A report from Wood Mackenzie Ltd. now forecasts this market will surge to $65 billion by 2030. The growth is largely attributed to the rise of data centers. These facilities are expected to comprise up to 40% of all investments in power equipment.

This dramatic increase signifies a shift in resource allocation. Companies are rapidly adapting to supply the energy needs of data centers, which require extensive power and cooling solutions. This adaptation will likely spur innovations in energy efficiency technologies.

The implications are vast. Such investment could create thousands of jobs in engineering and manufacturing. Additionally, it raises questions about the sustainability of the energy supply chain as demand escalates.
