Such norms, in turn, have compelled various countries to adopt cleaner energy sources, including renewables, thus, augmenting power transformer market revenues. For instance, as of October 2022, India achieved its NDC target with total non-fossil-based installed energy capacity reaching 159.95 GW, accounting for an estimated 41.4% of the overall installed electricity capacity. In addition, as per the updated NDC, the country commits to decreasing the Emissions Intensity of its GDP by almost 45% from the 2005 level by 2030.These elevated renewable generation targets will boost the requirement to update the existing grid infrastructure to integrate decentralized grids into the main network, further strengthening the industry outlook. However, the high initial costs and surging replacement prices associated with the product may act as a growth barrier.
 

Two winding transformers to gain traction owing to their broad application spectrum

In terms of winding, the power transformer market from two winding segment is poised to attain nearly 6% growth rate between 2023 and 2032. Two winding transformers provide constant power output, have a high internal impedance, and offer good voltage regulation, thus finding extensive utilization in a variety of applications. Furthermore, they are relatively less economical than auto transformers on account of their larger size and high maintenance costs, which may impede their demand through the ensuing years.

Long-distance power transmission requirements to foster the demand for> 500 MVA to ≤ 800 MVA transformers

The > 500 MVA to ≤ 800 MVA-rated power transformer market is predicted to depict around 7% gains through 2032. This growth is credited to the accelerating product adoption as voltage regulators across long-distance transmission lines. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of T&D infrastructure backed by the increasing engagement of several regions in inter-regional electricity transmission will complement the business growth. 
 

Gas insulation segment to emerge as a major growth contributor

Power transformer market from gas insulation segment recorded a valuation of USD 4 billion in 2022. The broad application spectrum of gas-insulated power transformers across substations in restricted spaces will propel segment revenues. These units can operate at high temperatures and can be easily and quickly integrated with gas-insulated switchgear while involving a lower risk of environmental and fire hazards. The remarkable product attributes may create optimistic growth scenarios for the power generators industry.
 

Oil-immersed transformers to drive lucrative revenues due to their exceptional characteristics

In terms of cooling, the power transformer market from oil-immersed segment is slated to grow over 6% CAGR through 2032. Oil-immersed transformers exhibit reliable compatibility and better cooling quality across high-tension applications, which offer them a competitive advantage over their counterparts. Besides, they are easy to install and have an ideal cooling strength, further boosting the technology adoption. In contrast, the susceptibility of these units to leakage may induce several health concerns for the operation and may even lead to fire hazards.
 

Pole-mounted segment to account for appreciable industry share

The pole-mounted segment held over 30% of the power transformer market share in 2022 due to the numerous features associated with pole-mounted transformers, including low space requirements and compact size. Besides, the high product acceptance rates across rural areas and regions with limited grid access and space constraints to ensure adequate voltage supply in homes & commercial facilities will positively influence the industry sales trajectory.
 

Expanding urban infrastructure to proliferate product demand for commercial & industrial applications

Power transformer market from the commercial & industrial applications segment is expected to exhibit nearly 7% growth rate between 2023 and 2032. Transformers are a critical component in electrical systems distribution for commercial buildings as they efficiently modify voltage levels to deliver electrical loads based on their voltage requirements. The expanding commercial infrastructure supported by accelerating urbanization and rapid industrial growth will enhance segment share.
