The global liquid filled transformer market is anticipated to be valued at USD 16.3 billion in 2023, forecast a CAGR of 4.3% to be valued at USD 24.9 billion from 2023 to 2033.
Growth is attributed to the increasing use of the transformer in various applications such as residential, commercial, and industrial processes. From 2018 to 2022, a CAGR of 3.2% was registered for the global market.
A transformer is an electric device that transfers electrical energy from one voltage to another. Liquid-immersed transformers and dry transformers are the two main types of transformers. As a liquid transformer converts high voltages to a more usable energy source, the unit uses a different cooling method than dry.
Wet types often use oil or mineral oil, as well as fans, to cool. The liquid-filled transformers are robust and suitable for indoor or outdoor installation in harsh environments. LV MV HV transformers require very little maintenance and have a long life span.
Liquid-immersed transformers are of two types: power transformers and distribution transformers. Power transformers are used in transmission networks of higher voltage for step-up and step-down applications. Distribution transformers are used in transmission networks of lower voltage applications.
Some Prominent Drivers Spearheading the Liquid Filled Transformer Market Growth
Increase in Electricity Consumption to Drive the Growth of the Market
Economic costs and the increasing use of transformers for residential, commercial, and industrial applications continue to drive demand for liquid-filled transformers. Installation of renewable and smart energy grids in various economies poses a lucrative avenue for liquid-filled transformer manufacturers.
These transformers are often utilized when higher capacities are critical due to their higher efficiencies in the same conditions. Its additional insulation and cooling capacities make it an attractive product compared to dry transformers.
Global electricity consumption has been substantially rising faster than the world population, leading to an increase in the average amount of electricity consumption, which is expected to account for substantial growth for the market. Due to strict lockdown measures undertaken by various governments, people are forced to stay home, resulting in higher electricity consumption from residential areas and increased sales.
Challenges Faced by the Liquid Filled Transformer Market
Although the liquid-filled transformer market has numerous end-uses, numerous obstacles likely challenge market growth. Price fluctuations are hampering the liquid-filled transformer market in various raw materials. Transformers are mostly made from steel and copper. Rising tariff rates on raw materials have increased extreme volatility, restricting the expansion of the market.
One of the key issues in liquid-filled transformer development continues to be the complexity of the design process. High costs associated with power transmission infrastructure and increased size and design specifications may limit market potential.
