The distribution transformer market is projected to grow significantly by 2030, owing to the escalating demand for reliable and continuous electricity along with rising infrastructural spending. In addition, upgradation of the existing grid network, coupled with growing investment to expand the electricity network, is also primed to liberate the market growth in forthcoming years.

The key players of the industry have been involved in R&D activities to innovate smart transformers with better safety and reliability. Furthermore, growth strategies like partnerships and acquisitions have also been at the center of industry growth. For instance, in April 2022, Schneider Electric, a French multinational company, acquired Brisbane infrastructure monitoring startup, Aurta, which monitors the health of electricity network transformers, in a multi-million-dollar deal.

The distribution transformer market has been bifurcated based on installation, core, insulation, winding, cooling, rating, mounting, application, phase, and region.

With regards to the core, the distribution transformer industry has been divided into berry, closed, and shell. The berry segment is likely to witness massive growth as a result of increased penetration of technology because of rapid technological evolution along with exponential feasibility across the traditional electrical infrastructure.

In terms of winding, the market has been categorized into an autotransformer and two winding. The two-winding distribution transformer segment is slated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% over the review timeframe.

Concerning installation, the distribution transformer market landscape has been split into indoor and outdoor segments. The rising space constraints owing to the ongoing restructuring of the existing overhead transmission infrastructure across the globe is expected to positively influence the indoor power transformer industry outlook in the forthcoming years.

With reference to cooling, the sector has been segmented into oil immersed (self-cooled, water cooled, forced oil, other) and dry type (self-sir, air blast). The dry type cooling technology is anticipated to witness a surge in segmental growth due to the operational safety and cost-effective structure as compared to the alternatives, thereby augmenting technology deployment.

The distribution transformer market from insulation segment has been classified into air, oil, gas, solid, and others. The gas-insulated segment is expected to grow steadily owing to prominent factors like high safety, consistent operations, and application flexibility. Moreover, the solid insulation technology is likely to rise in the analysis period as a result of surging technological advancements in the distribution transformer systems.

Based on phase, the industry has been segregated into three and single phases. The single-phase segment is likely to witness positive outlook as a response of rapid urbanization coupled with favorable government reforms to ameliorate the distorting small-scale industries in developing nations.

Based on rating segment, the market has been divided into ≤2.5 MVA, 2.6 MVA to 10 MVA, and >10 MVA.

The ≤2.5 MVA rating segment holds a market share of 66% and is slated to grow at 8.7% CAGR through the study timeline. Furthermore, ongoing expansion of commercial sector and small-scale industries are anticipated to boost the 2.6 MVA to 10 MVA, medium rating distribution transformer market.

With regards to mounting segment, the market landscape has been sub-divided into pole, pad, and others. The pole-mounted distribution transformers are augmented to gain attention on account of increasing demand of such transformers because of the rising concerns for safety near electrical equipment.

In terms of application, the industry has been categorized into industrial, residential & commercial, and utility sectors. Notably, souring population along with the growing demand for uninterrupted power supply is forecasted to raise the demand in the residential & commercial sector. Meanwhile, the industrial sector is anticipated to witness increase in technology adoption in the forthcoming years on account of stringent emission targets and burgeoning demand for energy efficient technologies.

In the regional landscapes, the lack of grid infrastructure across countries in MEA region along with increasing electricity demand is likely to augment the Middle East & Africa distribution transformer market.

Moreover, the Latin America distribution transformer market is estimated to deal with huge demand due to high investments toward the deployment of high-capacity alternative energy sources in several countries in the region including Chile and Argentina.
