AMORPHOUS ALLOY TRANSFORMER MARKET OVERVIEW

The amorphous alloy transformer market stood at USD 1.09 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand to USD 1.16 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 1.95 billion by 2033, driven by a CAGR of 6.64% from 2025 to 2033.

Amorphous alloy transformers are a type of energy-efficient transformer used in electric grids. They are typically constructed of a composite material of iron with silicon, boron, and phosphorus in the shape of thin foils that are quickly cooled from the melt since these components have strong magnetic vulnerability, fairly low conductivity, and excellent voltage resistance. When exposed to alternating magnetic fields, the resistance properties and thin foils result in minimal eddy current losses. Amorphous alloys, in contrast to traditional crystalline iron-silicon electrical steel, have lower saturation induction and frequently stronger magnetostriction.

The market is expanding as a result of increasing demand for alloy transformers from various applications such as high-speed rail, electric car, consumer electronics, aerospace, and medicine. The need for more effective transformer base material has been stimulated by the increased awareness of the expenses of system losses among electric utilities, which has led to a growth in the use of amorphous alloy in power distribution and transmission transformers. In connection to the operational features of single-phase distribution transformers, the manufacturing of amorphous alloy cores is examined.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply Chain Interruptions Lead to Decline in Demand 

Globally speaking, COVID-19 had a life-altering impact. The world market for amorphous alloy transformers was severely impacted. On other markets, the virus had varying effects. Lockdowns were implemented in a number of countries. This unpredictable pandemic disrupted a variety of industries. Many different industries were impacted. Amorphous Alloy, on the other hand, saw a decline in demand. The production units were hampered by the supply chain interruption. Due to a paucity of raw materials and difficulty accessing production centers, this resulted. Moreover, this sector's labor force experienced a significant decrease. People were kept out of workplaces as a result of the governments' social segregation practices and legislation. As a result, the share of the market of alloy transformers worldwide decreased.

LATEST TRENDS

Introduction of MaDC-A to Satisfy Consumer Demands and Protect the Environment

MaDC-A, an amorphous alloy with a Fe base that uses magnetic domain control technology, was created by Hitachi Metal, Ltd. in March 2020. Increased distribution transformer efficiency is a result of MaDC-higher A's flux density and roughly 25% lower core loss compared to standard devices. It is anticipated that the creation of the product will reduce its impact on the environment, conserve energy, and help to stop global warming. MaDC-F, a soft ferrite substance that leads to higher fuel efficiency than other typical goods, was additionally created by Hitachi Metal, Ltd. In addition, Hitachi Metals is working to boost material performance and support ongoing advancements in the performance of electrical and electronic equipment in order to satisfy consumer demand.

DRIVING FACTORS

Characteristics Advantages Offered by the Transformers Over the Course of their Lifetime Offset their High Startup Costs

Due to some advantageous characteristics, such as low absorption magnetic flux density of amorphous steel versus that of silicon steel, which is generally preferred by transformer manufacturers, the upfront costs of amorphous alloys are comparatively higher in comparison to crystalline silicon steel. As a result, large-sized amorphous alloy transformers are expensive per unit. Although its improved energy effectiveness and low operating expenses over the course of the transformer's lifetime may help offset its high startup expenditures. As a result, despite their high costs, the amorphous alloy industry is anticipated to grow over the next few years.

Growing Utilization in Electronic Equipment is Driving the Alloy Transformers Market Expansion

The global market for amorphous alloy transformers is divided into three application groups: electric equipment, electronic equipment, and others. During the projected period, the segment selling electronic equipment is anticipated to hold the top spot in terms of share of revenue. The usage of amorphous alloys in equipment is predicted to increase due to their increased strength, hardness, and ability to endure repeated heat cycling. Additionally, factors that are anticipated to promote the expansion of this market include rising production of electrical machines and equipment as well as the utilization of such machines in a variety of sectors.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Various Drawbacks Associated with the Transformers Slow Down the Market’s Expansion

There are a number of drawbacks to amorphous metals that could slow the amorphous alloy transformer market growth. Slitting and shearing are challenging due to hardness and decreased thickness. Additionally, the brittleness characteristic of amorphous alloys has rendered them unwelcoming to transformer producers. These restrictions have made only few customers worldwide currently able to use the amorphous alloy technology.
