The global distribution transformers market was estimated to reach a valuation of USD 26.1 Billion in the year 2022. With a steady CAGR of 6% from 2023 to 2033, this market is expected to reach USD 27.5 Billion by 2023 and USD 49.4 Billion by 2033.
The globally increasing energy demand along with the introduction of various regulatory reforms for the improvement of distribution and transmission networks will accelerate the penetration of technology.
The rising investments in supporting the distribution networks to provide electricity in remote areas will also affect this technology positively during the forecast period. These networks are gaining huge popularity nowadays based on three aspects: compactness, cost-effectiveness, and simple installation features.
The key players in the global market are aimed at investing in innovative smart technology, like smart transformers, that would take immediate steps during any fluctuations and hence enhance the power quality being received at various homes. Such factors are predicted to open up new opportunities for the manufacturers in this market.
During the projected period, the oil-filled distribution transformers segment is anticipated to rule the distribution transformer market. Liquids are used to cool the oil-filled transformers, which makes them ideal for outdoor usage. They have more dependable overload capabilities, are more efficient, and have longer service lifetimes. The utilization of a liquid as a cooling medium makes these sorts of converters a better choice than dry ones.
The main benefit of an oil-filled transformer is its ability to take larger ratings as well as overloads. To enhance their rates of electrification, nations like India and China are extending their transmission & distribution networks, which is anticipated to drive the demand for oil-filled distribution transformers. For instance, the Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har program of the Indian government seeks to electrify every home.
Region-wise, one of the top regions for distribution transformer production is Asia-Pacific. Along with increased family income as well as urbanization, developing countries like India and China have seen rapid population expansion.
The market for distribution transformers is growing quickly as a result of the sudden increase in demand for power. To address the growing demand for power in China, the government is creating new generation projects, notably those utilizing renewable energy.
Due to the need for transmission & distribution infrastructure to support these developments, distribution transformer shipments in the nation are anticipated to increase. Also, to create a robust and intelligent electrical grid over the whole nation, the Indian government is expanding its electrical network.
To fortify sub-transmission and distribution networks in the nation's urban areas, the Indian government had as of February 2022 authorized investment projects of USD 4.12 billion for the Integrated Power Development Program; this is anticipated to support the expansion of the distribution transformer market.
Due to their large per capita electricity consumption, North America and Europe are also significant market regions. The expansion of infrastructure and governmental policies by international bodies like the World Bank to promote electricity will also result in major growth in Africa and Latin America.
Various developments have been going on in this market for the past years. Egypt agreed to a financial arrangement of USD 254 million in 2021 to improve its electricity distribution network. The Egyptian Electricity Transmission Company (EETC) and numerous Egyptian banks have struck a financial agreement that would enable the company to increase and extend the nation's transformer stations.
The construction of distribution transformers is anticipated to be a part of this initiative to expand the distribution network, which will accelerate the rise of the distribution transformer market.
Also, in 2021, Siemens Energy obtained a contract to build 22 sets of distribution transformers at the first commercial 66 kV offshore wind farm in China, Yuhuan Offshore Wind Energy Project Phase 1, situated in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province. Such developments are expected to provide new routes to this market in the next ten years.
According to recent study, the distribution transformers market is expected to experience substantial growth, expanding CAGR of over 6% from 2021 to 2031.
The growth in demand is witnessing optimistic growth outlook. Rising trends and initiatives of smart grids for economic efficiency are projected to ascend the growth in demand over the coming years.
