Industrial and manufacturing companies in the United States are quickly coming to the realization that energy and sustainability issues are a critical requirement for the competitiveness and even survival of their businesses. Using close to one third of all the energy consumed in the United States on an annual basis, with high price volatility and stiff global competition for market share, U.S. industries are better understanding their energy consumption patterns and are adopting organizational capabilities to better manage its use. It has become not only a company-specific issue, but a national imperative as well. Energy management software and service offerings, along with new energy management standards and certification programs, have created a renewed focus on energy as a manageable input to the industrial process.

Although it has been in existence for decades, the industrial energy management software and services market is evolving rapidly with technological advances and a growing knowledge base resulting from the increased availability of detailed information about industrial energy use. There are multiple market influences that will drive growth and demand for energy management software and services. The strongest drivers include the desire for industrial companies to understand and limit the variability and cost of their energy inputs, and to satisfy increasing sustainability demands from their supply chain partners, consumers, and other stakeholders. Brand image for these companies is at stake, and the stage has been set for determining the competitive landscape of the future.
