Transformer Market Report Overview

The global transformer market size was USD 312.75 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 542.49 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 6.31% during the forecast period.

Transformer is an equipment which is used for transferring electric energy from one AC that is alternating Current to other circuits. While transferring the electrical energy, the voltage can be either stepped up that is increased or stepped down that is reduced.

Globalization has become the major reason for several developments in the electrical industry. New type of transformer has been introduced. Ultra-high voltage transmission helps in upgrading the global transmission network. This is considered as the latest trend in the market.

Harmful effects of using fossil-based fuels are creating several environmental related concerns. Therefore, actions have been taken to implement renewable sources of energy with the help of transformers. High operational capability of auto transformers is benefitting the market. All of these factors have resulted in the transformer market growth.

COVID-19 impact: Decreased Usage of Electrical Energy in Industries Reduced Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.The spike in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The pandemic of COVID-19 changed the functioning of each and every sector across the globe. Every industry had to adopt itself to the changes which were brought by the pandemic. Most of the factories were either shut down or were allowed to work at only half of their operating capacity.

This was due to lockdowns and social distancing rules that were imposed by the government as a safety measure against the novel coronavirus. Electrical energy is one of the most widely used form of energy for operating machineries. With the reduction in the working of factories, power consumption also decreased considerably. As a result, the transformer market saw a decline during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

"Highly Developed Current Transmission Networks to Increase Market Growth"

Due to urbanization and rapid globalization, highly developed current transmission networks are being established. A transmission network consists of poles, switch equipments, transmission lines, and power grids. Within a power system most of the power losses can be attributed to transmission losses.

In order to minimize these losses, the transmission voltage must be raised. One such new development that can be witnessed in the market is the introduction of ultra-high voltage transmission. With this the global transmission network can be upgraded. This has been identified as the latest trend in the market.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increasing Focus on Renewable and Non-Conventional Sources of Energy to Accelerate Market Growth"

Usage of fossil-based fuels can lead to a lot of pollution. Emission of harmful gases from many years has been constantly damaging the environment. Increase in the temperature due to global warming, rise in sea levels, and depletion of ozone layer are some of the consequences of pollution on environment and human life.

Increasing awareness of people, and strict rules imposed by the concerned government bodies about using cleaner sources of fuel has shifted the focus towards renewable or non-conventional sources of energy. Transformers can be helpful in converting the alternating current produced by hydro-electric plants into a very high voltage current. Use of transformers in the production of renewable source of energy is increasing transformer market share.

"High Operational Capability of Auto Transformers to Propel Market Growth "

Auto transformers have high operational capability due to which it in employed in various industries. Also, these transformers have immense operational flexibility. They are compact in size with sustainable cost.

Increasing construction of buildings and infrastructures has propelled the market growth for transformers. With construction of new buildings more and more investment is being done on expanding and refurbishing the grid networks that already exist. Transformers also have improved safety features. All of these factors have helped in the growth of transformer market.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Cost Involved in Installing Transformer to Decrease Market Growth"

Transformers are devices which need to be installed with the help of skilled labors. Installation of transformers will involve high costs. Some of the important metals that are used in the construction of transformers include aluminum, steel, and copper.

These metals are not very available. The prices of raw materials also keep on fluctuating constantly which can become a very big difficulty for the manufacturers. Logistics is a very important component of installing a transformer. The time required to manufacture a transformer is very long. All of these factors can hinder the growth and development of transformer market.
