Global Gas Insulated Transformer (GIT) Market Report - Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Outlook - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2028

The growth of the gas insulated transformer market is due to rising demand for electricity in large cities, upgrade the existing ones or the lack of space to construct new substations, and as a result of the environment and adverse circumstances we face today, there has been a tendency among most populated urban areas to tuck away large-scale substations underground. This has led to a growing demand for incombustible and nonexplosive, large-capacity gas-insulated transformers (GIT) to prevent accidents and ensure the compactness of equipment.

Increasing power consumption in urban areas, many substations have been constructed underground, beneath parks, commercial buildings, and public spaces. Safety and avoiding fire incidents are important considerations for substations in urban areas. Therefore, compact and cost-effective solutions are required for substations installed in areas where space is limited. Gas-insulated transformers (GITs) instead of Oil-immersed transformers (OITs) offer the solution for overcoming the sharp increase in electric power demand in large cities.

Increasing investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure, government initiatives to expand clean energy supply, and a growing focus on renewable power generation is expected to drive the growth of the gas insulated transformer market.

In collaboration with powerful corporations, governments of various economies have established reforms to minimize losses in transmission and distribution and material and gas consumption in the construction of transformers, which will likely push manufacturers to develop new equipment, leading to reductions in transmission costs.

Various health and safety organizations, such as the Occupational Safety and Health Organization (OSHA), have issued a warning regarding the formation of toxic compounds from an electrical discharge of sodium hexafluoride gas. Thus, the penetration of alternative gas-based transformers has been rising.

Gas Insulated Transformers (GITs) are being used by many countries, particularly for gas insulation substations. GITs can be coupled directly with gas-insulated switchgear (GIS), eliminating the need for a separate transformer room. This arrangement gives rise to a gas-insulated substation (GISS), a standard configuration for inner-city applications and buildings, raising the demand for gas insulated transformer market.

Transformer, device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the voltage.

Transformers are employed for widely varying purposes to increase or reduce the voltage of electricity generated so that electric power can be transmitted over long distances.

Gas-insulated transformers are oil-free, nonexplosive, and nonflammable. These transformers use sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) gas as the insulating and cooling medium and are preferred over oil transformers during installations. Due to its low spatial requirements, no risk of oil leakage, and compact size drive the gas insulated transformer market.

SF6 gas is known for its non-flammability and coordinative ability with environmental conditions. Lt was widely used in underground and indoor substations at underground shopping areas, traffic systems, and public structures. SF6 Gas-Insulated transformers are designed to reduce fire hazards and less environmental risk.
