The global Power Transformer market size is projected to reach approximately $50.8 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.9% from 2022 to 2030. A power transformer is an integral part of a power distribution system. It receives the electricity produced by a generator and sends it to another area of the grid, after changing its voltage. It forms an indispensable part of the power grid. It helps in the transmission of power from one network to the other without any change in frequency. Generation of electric power in a low voltage plant is cost-effective but leads to high lining current. High currents lead to more line loss, but if the voltage is increased and transmitted over a longer distance, it can be efficiently turned into power. Power transformers are used to increase the voltages so they can travel farther.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The latest outbreak of Covid-19 has already had large effects on various industries. The Power Transformer industry is one of them. According to the reports of the Independent Commodity Intelligence Services, Nuclear power in the EU is becoming more widely available due to safety measures that countries throughout the region have set up. The industry expects this to be a positive impact on the market in general. For the EU, this move will be an important one as it would generate power and distribute it to settlements that don’t have regular public grid access. However, the power distribution companies have been affected financially by the announcement of the lockdown due to a significant decline in demand. The fall was recorded at 25-28% post announcement.
Global Power Transformer Market Dynamics
The factors driving the growth of the global Power Transformer market include a rise in demand for electricity, stringent government regulations regarding carbon emissions, and the emergence of renewable power sources.
Drivers
Ø Constant Upgrades in the Existing Electrical Networks
The increasing emphasis on the integration of broad-ranging frequency distribution links along with the growing energy-efficiency concerns is expected to boost the demand for power transformers in the commercial and residential sectors. The surge in investments by private and governmental organizations for electrification programs further contributes to the market growth. In 2014, the government of Africa launched the “Beyond the Grid sub- Initiative” to support off-grid electricity access to achieve their goal of adding 60 million new residential and business connections by the year 2030.
Restraint:
Ø Volatility in Raw Material Prices to Hamper the Market Growth
Raw materials such as copper, steel, aluminum, and oil are used to manufacture power transformers. However, these raw materials have been subject to volatility in recent months. Cold-rolled coil steel is used in the manufacturing of Cold Rolled Grain Oriented steel, which then is used to make transformers. Crude oil prices have been very volatile and unpredictable over the past few years; similarly, cold-rolled coil steel has gone up and down in various markets around the world. These factors are expected to restrain the market’s growth during the forecast period.
Opportunity:
⮚    Large Adoption of Green Transformers to create Major Business Opportunities
Green power transfers are a sustainable option that offers eco-friendly solutions for those who want to preserve the environment. They help users lower their carbon footprint, mitigate risks and improve life cycle costs. To stay competitive and protect the environment, a lot of government authorities have begun investing in new green power transformers. These appliances are much quieter and safer than conventional power transformers. As a result, it is expected that there will be a widespread increase in demand for these transformers shortly.
Global Power Transformer Segment Overview
By Installation
Based on the Installation, the Power Transformer market is segmented based on Outdoor and Indoor. The Outdoor segment is anticipated to account for the large market share. These generators are made from an exotic metal-containing unusual property capable of withstanding the high voltages and heat associated with industrial environments. They have very little material usage and minimal fire hazards. Maintenance is low, and they stay cool in a natural way.
By Cooling
Based on the Cooling, the Power Transformer market is segmented based on Dry Type and Oil Immersed. The Oil Immersed segment is anticipated to account for the large market share. Oil Immersed power transformers account for the majority of power transformer types due to their reliability and safety. They are expected to be the go-to transformer type in the future, with a growing transmission network expansion rate.
By Insulation
Based on Insulation, the global Power Transformer market has been divided into Gas, Oil, Solid, and Air. The Air segment is expected to hold the largest market share. The support of these units will increase the adoption of offshore wind because they have a lot of benefits like reducing internal failure effects, as well as avoiding combustible atmosphere. Stringent government policies will make the industry landscape more eco-friendly and pave the way for zero carbon emission usage.
By Rating
Based on Rating, the global Power Transformer market has been divided into 100 To 500 MVA, 501 To 800 MVA, and > 800 MVA. The 101-500 MW transformer market is expected to grow due to the low installation cost, compact size, and demand for power in key industries like healthcare, oil and gas, and power sectors. The deployment of these units across electrical substations and generating stations will more than likely boost industry forecasts.
