The global energy trading and risk management (ETRM) market size was in 1382 million in 2020, as per our research, the energy trading and risk management (ETRM) market is expected to reach USD 2166.9 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise/decline in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The practice of purchasing, selling, and managing energy commodities like electricity, natural gas, crude oil, coal, and derivatives related to these commodities is known as energy trading and risk management (ETRM). It combines physical trading with financial tools to improve energy procurement, reduce risks, and increase profitability. To expedite and automate different parts of energy trading and risk management, energy corporations, including utilities, power producers, gas providers, oil refineries, and commodities trading firms, employ ETRM systems. These systems combine front-, middle-, and back-office duties to improve decision-making and streamline operations.

This module makes it easier to track and handle energy deals, especially those involving sophisticated derivative instruments. It features trade confirmation, price, position management, and trade entry functionality. This module evaluates and manages a variety of risks related to the trading of energy, including operational risk, regulatory compliance, credit risk, and market price volatility. It offers resources for scenario modelling, limit monitoring, exposure management, and risk analysis. Market data feeds are used by ETRM systems to offer historical and real-time data on market trends, supply-demand dynamics, and energy pricing. Trading and risk managers can use analytics tools to help them make decisions based on this data.

COVID-19 Impact: Remote Work and Digitalization to Hinder Market Growth

Unprecedented market disruptions brought on by the epidemic heightened price volatility and uncertainty. Significant changes in energy consumption and supply patterns were caused by lockdown measures, travel restrictions, and decreased economic activity. ETRM systems had to adjust to quickly shifting market conditions and deal with rising price and risk management volatility. Energy businesses were forced to rely significantly on digital tools, such ETRM systems, to manage their operations as a result of the adoption of social distancing measures and remote work regulations. The epidemic hastened the use of remote access and cloud-based ETRM solutions, enabling traders and risk managers to operate from home while maintaining company continuity. The pandemic-induced global economic slowdown led to a decrease in energy consumption in a number of different industries.

LATEST TRENDS
