 Distribution Transformers Market Size to grow by USD 6.80 billion between 2024-2028

According to a research report “ Distribution Transformers Market” by Type (Oil-filled, Dry type) End-user (Power utilities, Industrial and commercial) Geography (APAC, North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, South America)- Global Forecast to 2028 published by Technavio, the market size is estimated to grow by USD 6.80 billion, at a CAGR of  6.18% during the forecast period. The escalating global population and increasing industrialization in emerging economies, including China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Brazil, Argentina, Nigeria, and Ethiopia, have fueled a significant demand for power. This trend is particularly notable in developing countries, where per capita income growth has led to a surge in the usage of electrical and electronic devices. However, these nations often face challenges with outdated power distribution networks, resulting in frequent power outages and losses. To address these issues, distribution transformers are poised for high adoption in these markets to ensure reliable power distribution and minimize energy wastage.

By Type, the Oil-filled segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

The power utilities segment held the largest market share in the global distribution transformers market in 2023, accounting for over 50% of the total revenue. This trend is projected to continue, with the segment growing at a faster rate than the overall market during the forecast period. Power utilities are key players in the electricity value chain, supplying power to residential, commercial, and industrial consumers. The increasing global electricity demand necessitates substantial investments in power infrastructure by utilities, thereby driving the demand for distribution transformers.

By End-user, Power utilities  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

In the distribution transformer market, the use of insulating media is a critical consideration. Oil, which offers effective insulation properties, is commonly employed in this application due to its prevalence and cost-effectiveness. Distribution transformers are typically installed within the confines of substations or distribution stations, reducing the risk of accidents and associated injuries or fatalities. However, SF6 gas, a non-flammable and non-polluting alternative, offers superior insulation characteristics. Despite its advantages, the high cost of SF6 gas restricts its usage in developing nations, resulting in oil remaining the dominant insulation medium in distribution transformers.

APAC is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is the largest contributor and is projected to exhibit the fastest growth in the global distribution transformers market during the forecast period. The primary driver of this demand can be attributed to the increasing need for power, which is fueled by power generation and transmission projects, as well as industrial growth. With rapidly expanding populations in countries such as China, India, and those in South Asia, the requirement for a substantial power supply is paramount. However, the region's power grids pose a significant challenge, as they are inadequate to meet the increasing demand. To address this issue, several countries in APAC are expanding their power distribution networks to ensure uninterrupted power supply and support economic growth.
