Europe Oil Filled Transformer Market size recorded at USD 5 billion in 2022 and is projected to expand at more than 7.5% CAGR from 2023 to 2032 driven by the strong presence of key industry players in the region.
The demand for transformers in Europe is primarily fueled by the refurbishment of existing grid networks. Supportive regulatory frameworks and policies, along with an upsurge in spending on the modernization of standard technologies are expected to boost industry expansion. In December 2022, the European Commission disbursed more than USD 4 billion to support clean energy transition in 8 countries. The integration of innovative components, machinery, and control equipment in oil-filled transformers is set to make them more resilient, feasible, and suitable for existing grid networks.

Despite a positive outlook for product adoption, the oil filled transformer industry in Europe faces a major hurdle due to the availability of alternate transformer technologies comprising gas-filled and dry-type transformers that exhibit distinct properties. For instance, in April 2022, Siemens Energy, a German energy solutions manufacturer, launched CAREPOLE, its dry-type single-phase transformer a reliable alternative to oil-filled transformers for pole applications. Nonetheless, extensive investments to refurbish the existing grid networks are likely to provide opportunities for industry growth.

Based on modes of cooling, the Europe oil filled transformer market from oil natural water forced (ONWF) segment is anticipated to reach approximately USD 740 million by 2032 propelled by its core and windings technique that does not require a continuous water supply, making it a reliable and sustainable solution for cooling transformers. In addition, the availability of ONWF in compact and simple designs enables easy installation and maintenance is bolstering product uptake. Lastly, its environment friendliness allows precise temperature control while catering to limited energy consumption.
France oil filled transformer market accounted for 16% of the revenue share in 2022, credited to profitable funding and investment plans from both foreign and private participants to improve regional electrification. In September 2022, Schneider Electric, a French multinational firm, collaborated with Hitachi Energy, a provider of transmission, distribution, and grid automation solutions, to facilitate the energy transition. These companies aim to providing global customers with an operational life cycle, holistic offering, and a better supply chain, which is foreseen to positively influence the industry landscape in the country.
Leading participants operating in the oil filled transformer market in Europe are General Electric, Schneider Electric, Eaton Corporation, Siemens Energy, Hyosung Heavy Industries, Toshiba Corporation, CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd., Elsewedy Electric, Ormazabal, and Elettromeccanica Colombo s.a.s. These firms majorly engage in product innovation and strategic partnership deals to achieve a competitive edge in the market. For instance, in November 2022, Elsewedy Electric, an Egyptian energy firm, opened its phase two industrial complex transformer factory for regional manufacturing & exporting of wires, insulators, cables, meters, logistics centers, and transformers in Africa & Tanzania.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the oil filled transformer market in Europe owing to substantial disruptions in the supply chain, resulting in a shortage of raw materials and components required to manufacture transformers. Moreover, fluctuations in oil prices hampered the volatility of the transformer industry. Similarly, remote working trends, government regulations, and stringent lockdown protocols further impeded product adoption in the region. However, in September 2021, the European Commission informed that the oil exchange-trade commodity (ETC) recorded nearly USD 200 million worth of oil inflows, while CRUD saw oil inflows of USD 240 million. Such events have been lucrative for the business.
