The global grid-interactive buildings space (also referred to as the grid-interactive efficient buildings [GEBs] space) generated about USD 16.13 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 74.31 billion by 2035, registering a strong CAGR of 16.5% between 2025 and 2035. This analysis reflects the rapid integration of smart building technologies, distributed energy resources (DER), and smart grid systems that enable two-way, real-time interaction between buildings and the grid.

Explore how the grid-interactive buildings industry is evolving from a niche innovation theme to a structural pillar of power-system planning. Volatile wholesale prices, peak-load constraints, and resilience concerns are prompting utilities and city governments to view buildings as flexible grid resources rather than passive demand points.
