ADI analyzed North American transmission demand by asset class, end market, and application to clarify where grid modernization and electrification are driving sustained equipment investment. Proprietary asset‑level segmentation was used to connect reliability mandates, renewable integration, and load growth to spending cycles. The results translated market signals into clear implications for manufacturing focus and capacity planning.
