Transformer Core Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Design (Closed-Core, Shell-Core), Cooling (Self-Cooled, Dry Type), Application, and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Transformer Core Market is accounted for $9.28 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $14.23 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period. A transformer core is a static device that transmits power from one source to another through electromagnetic induction. The transformer core comprises contains used in various grades, and are introduced in transformers according to the transformer type and capacity.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing demand for electricity
Rising demand for electricity from every sector is likely to drive the market demand as there is an increase in demand across the globe and a rise in the integration of renewable resources of energy to produce electricity, driving the transformer core market growth. The core is built with numerous thin strips of grain-oriented silicon steel, called laminations, which are electrically isolated from each other by thin coatings of insulating material.
Restraint:
High cost
Transformer cores are highly costly because of the large number of copper wires present in the core. Copper is the most fundamental material utilized in a transformer that plays a huge role in its price. The weight of copper utilized in the transformer decides the cost. With the current going higher, the expense of the wire increases. Similar to the length, the cost increases even with the diameter of the wire.
Opportunity:
High demand and expansion of power grids
Grid stability and reliability have driven new speculations and overall spending in the transformer core markets, with fewer significant outages occurring in recent years. Despite a strong focus on grid infrastructure renewal, there has also been a significant expansion of the grid network. There is an ever-expanding capital spending as seen in previous years during the replacement of existing technology with higher-end smart ones, which is providing ample opportunities for market growth.
Threat:
Fault in the transformer core
Problems arise because of fault in the transformer core, which impacts the transformer. Moreover, issues such as short-circuited core laminations will result in increased losses and possibly overheating of the transformer core. There are short circuits between the turns, between the stages, and between the windings. Most short circuit failures are caused by abnormal tensions on the surge arresters and others because of the deterioration of the insulation oil and the penetration of rain.
The oil segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The oil segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth owing to the implementation of regulatory norms toward efficient grid infrastructure that lead to an expansion in the demand for the market. Oil-cooled transformers are considered more secure when dealing with high voltage applications. With increasing high voltage transmission network expansion activities, the oil-cooled power transformer is likely to grow during the forecast period.
The shell-core segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The shell-core segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period as they are more compact and have great mechanical strength; it is attributed to the rising demand for core in shell core transformers.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period because of high demand from the end-use sectors and the offer of electric cities by the large population and the shifting toward the use of energy-efficient technologies. Also, the high demand for transformers from countries with large manufacturing bases shall raise the demand.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to the technical advancements in the power generation sector. North America is additionally the fastest-growing market for transformer core, as the region is witnessing some of the largest T&D expansions being carried out due to rapidly increasing demand in countries.
