Dry Type Transformer Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing demand for energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is the growing demand that has become the basic driving factor in the fast development of the dry type transformers market. To begin with, the majority of the world's nations are faced with the adverse effects of climate change and carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, there are significant changes in the pattern of consumption of energy towards a more sustainable model. Energy-efficient applications contribute to the very high level of adoption of dry-type transformers. According to IEA (International Energy Agency), the global energy demand is expected to grow by 1.8% annually between 2021 and 2030. The investment in energy efficiency reached USD 560 billion in 2022, up by 16% in 2021 and is still expected to increase over the next few years. Different countries have implemented several strategies to raise energy efficiency. Tax credits for middle-class households are one of the measures taken by the U.S. administration, which pays for 10% of the expenses that result from installing energy- efficient devices. The European Commission, in 2021, updated its eco-design and energy labeling regulations to include new requirements for various products again. Dry-type transformers are a better option in terms of environmental protection because they are cooler than those using oil and do not emit air pollutants to the environment.

Restraint: Higher cost of dry type transformers as compared to oil-filled transformers

The increase in the dry type transformer market is caused by several factors, and one significant challenge it faces is the comparatively higher cost of dry type transformers in comparison to their oil-filled counterparts. This expense discrepancy has balked the conventional use of dry type transformers in numerous fields and applications. This money initially invested for the dry type transformers may be considerably higher because of the specialized materials, advanced insulation and manufacturing processes that are involved in their production. Dry type transformers, besides, require materials that are good heat conductors and have the ability to dissipated the heat. Aluminum or copper conductors with special coatings or designs for heat transfer from the winding are essential. According to the data from CNBC, the cost of copper will continue to be high because of the increasing demand and a reduced supply of it. There was a year-on-year loss of 7% in November 2022 in Chile, the leading world's copper producer. Such problems with the raw materials could act as a brake to the dry type transformer market's growth.

Opportunities: Expansion of global power grid infrastructure

The growing adoption of clean energy and the attraction of off-grid power generation to decentralized power, have definitely led to a great demand for transformers to cope with the power fluctuations and variety loads. Dry-type transformer, which is the sufficiency in terms of flexibilities and the strength required for diverse energy in modern grid, is the one that leads in this field. When the utilization of smart grid technologies and regulatory measures for grid modernizing are in great move, the demand for adaptable and high-performance transformers will grow too, providing a great opportunity for the companies which are specialized in dry-type transformers. The companies as well as the dry-type transformers market with which they are related, experience significant gains as a result of global distribution of new electrical infrastructure. The use of energy as well as the rate of its production from renewable resources and the trend are closely linked to the growth of technology. The claim by the WorldBank in its report that around 56% of the global population reside in urban areas and by 2050 the rate will have more than doubled. Urbanization leads to the growth of infrastructure. The demand for safe and reliable electrical solutions increases with the growing construction of high-rise buildings and commercial complexes. Dry-type transformers are a safe and efficient way to distribute power in urban areas, as they do not use oil and are, therefore, less likely to catch fire or pollute the environment.

Challenges: Limitations in power ratings and preference of oil-filled transformers

Compared to oil-filled transformers, dry-type transformers have increased abilities, such as fire safety and environmental friendliness, but, because dry-type transformers do not use oil for heat dissipation, this type of transformers usually can only handle low power loads. It is possible that dry-type transformers could have a larger loss at the higher power than oil-filled transformers. In addition, the low power ratings of dry-type transformers can be difficult in the instances where huge power is required by the customers, such as in power generation plants and substations. Dry-type transformers are under a lot of pressure from oil-filled transformers. However, as the environmental focus is increasing and the regulatory boundaries are getting more complicated, the demand for dry-type transformers will be on the rise in the next few years.

The medium voltage segment, by voltage, is expected to be the largest market during the forecast period.

The voltage segment has been categorized into three major types, which are: low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage. They forecast medium voltage as the largest segment during the forecast period. This is due to the fact that medium voltage transformers are quite efficient and reliable in the supply of power to different industries. They come in wide industrial usage, starting from manufacturing plants to factories and processing facilities, which are extremely critical in respect of their smooth operations and productivity for uniform and uninterrupted power supply. They have made them a very crucial part of the overall growth of the dry-type transformer market in the industry by working with other industrial infrastructure.

By phase, single phase is expected to be the fastest growing during the forecast period.

Based on phase, the dry type transformer market is segregated into two categories: single phase and three phase. The single-phase segment is expected to be the fastest-growing during the forecast period. It finds its growth owing to the extreme usage of dry type transformers in low voltage distribution applications. Single-phase power is generally utilized in residential and commercial areas with minor power demand. Yet another great benefit is the compact and self-contained design that can be installed indoors without special ventilation systems. Smaller loads may have a single-phase system in order to be more economic on account of lower equipment cost and easier installation.

“Asia Pacific: The largest region in the dry type transformer market.”

During the forecast period of 2023-2028, among the regions, Asia Pacific is likely to be the largest region in the dry type transformer market, followed by Europe and North America. On account of the vast area, rich infrastructure development, and developing economies within the region, Asia Pacific has always dominated the dry type transformer market. Urbanization and population increase have resulted in the emergence of a need for huge infrastructure developments that have driven the energy demand across the region. This has further resulted in an energy demand-supply gap, thereby resulting in a power supply shortage. The shortage of electricity is expected to support the growth of the market as it can be attributed to an increase in demand for power leading to the installation of new substations and increasing the demand for dry type transformers. The regional dry type transformer market is growing with the presence of leading solution providers such as Kirloskar Electric Company (India), Voltamp (India), and CG Power & Industrial Solutions Ltd. (India) contribute to the development of the market by creating avenues for dry type transformer projects.
