As per a recent industry report put forward by Global Market Insights, Inc. Transformers Market is forecast to register its name in the billion-dollar fraternity down the line of seven years, by exceeding a revenue of USD 93 billion by 2032 with a projected CAGR of 7.1% over 2023-2032.

The market growth is driven by the proliferation of advanced transformer technology and the ongoing expansion of the grid infrastructure across the globe.

Recently, industry players in the transformer market have been making significant investments towards infrastructural advancements, which has positively boosted the market growth.

In fact, back in August 2022, Siemens Energy, the German energy giant, announced plans to deliver the first batch of $64 million mega transformers in Nigeria commissioned by the Federal Government under the PPI or Presidential Power Initiative by September 2022. To increase and stabilize the nation’s electrical supply, the first phase will include 10 mobile power sub-stations as well as 10 mega transformers.

The transformer market has been segmented in terms of core, product, winding, cooling, insulation, rating, mounting, application, and region.

Based on product, the sector has been divided into distribution transformer and power transformer. The distribution transformation segment is set to witness a propelling market growth through the forthcoming years owing to the growing concerns about energy security and exponentially escalating energy use in underdeveloped economies.

Also, rapid grid infrastructure growth and accelerated growth in the renewable energy sector created a favorable environment for business expansion.

With respect to cooling, the transformer market has been segmented into dry type and oil immersed. The dry-type segment is anticipated to record a yearly installation of nearly 8 million through 2030 due to the significant attributes of dry-type transformers such as competitive cost structure as well as operational safety.

However, the devices have yet to establish a sustained market share in high-voltage electrical applications, considering their enormous industrial growth potential.

Based on insulation, the industry has been categorized in terms of air, gas, oil, and solid. The air & gas insulated power transformers is slated to grow at a significant rate over the review timeline because of the increasing market penetration due to their reliable and safe operations as well as adaptable product applications.

In terms of application, the transformer industry has been bifurcated into residential, commercial & industrial, and utility. The commercial & residential segment is projected to grow at a sturdy rate through the forecast years credited to the increasing focus on the incorporation of wide-ranging frequency distribution links, combined with rising energy-efficiency concerns. The growing need for ultra-high voltage networks will further fuel product demand.

From the regional front, the Middle East & Africa transformer market is set to register considerable market valuation owing to the lack of grid infrastructure across all the nations and rising power consumption.

The industry outlook will be driven by rising private support from financial organizations like the IFC, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank for electrification throughout the area.
