The global distribution transformer market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.88% between 2020 and 2028, and is anticipated to generate revenue of $32.58 billion by 2028. The service transformers or distribution transformers (DTs) deliver the final voltage alteration in the electric power distribution arrangement. DTs are used to step down the voltage used in the distribution lines (usually up to 36 kV), to the level used by the customer (usually 250 up to 435 V).

The important drivers increasing growth in the global distribution transformer market are the smart grid electrifying the market and advancement in the transformer industry. In 2009, the European Commission approved the third package for energy, which required 80% of homes in the 27 associate countries to have smart meters by 2020. There have been numerous initiatives in terms of the digital revolution in the distribution transformer market. The smart grid is the most recent growth in the electricity market.

In 2019, the pad-mounted category accounted for the largest market share of 51.48% in the mounting type segment, while pole-mounted is anticipated to be the fastest-growing category, recording around 8.56%. Pad-mounted distribution transformers have self-protected fuses with backup high energy to protect against transformer overload and secondary faults. Pole mounted transformers are reasonably small in size and can be mounted easily on electricity poles.

Stress causing failures and operational inefficiencies, leading to delays and suspensions, are the major factors hindering the global distribution transformer market growth. A distribution transformer has a number of distinct parts that work simultaneously with each other. All the distinct parts of the distribution transformer have varied faults, which cause different failures. Manufacturing defects such as the low factor of safety and failure of any single unit may cause the failure of the whole transformer. This may result in the failure or delay in delivery, which can cause suspension of the order.

The report on the global distribution transformer market includes segmentation analysis of insulation type, mounting type, and phase.

Insulation type is segmented into:

  • Oil-filled
  • Dry-type

Mounting type is segmented into:

  • Pad-Mounted
  • Pole Mounted
  • Underground vault

Phase is segmented into:

  • Three Phase
  • Single Phase

Geographically, the global distribution transformer market has been segmented on the basis of four major regions, which includes:

  • Europe: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Russia, Belgium, Poland, and the Rest of Europe
  • North America: the United States and Canada
  • Asia Pacific: China, India, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Australia & New Zealand, and the Rest of Asia Pacific
  • Rest of World: Latin America, the Middle East & Africa

In 2019, Asia Pacific captured the largest market share of approx. 44% in terms of revenue. Increasing smart grid initiatives is one of the major driving factors for the Asia Pacific distribution transformers market due to the increasing electricity demand and technology up-gradation in smart grid systems in this region. Furthermore, the distribution transformer market in the Asia Pacific is predicted to grow at a fast pace during the forecast period. Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is gaining popularity in the Philippines and Singapore market for their home energy management systems. Japan and South Korea are estimated to remain an attractive market for smart grid investments.

The well-known market players of the global distribution transformer market are:

  • ABB Ltd
  • Eaton Corporation PLC
  • General Electric
  • Brush Electrical Machines Ltd
  • Kirloskar Electric Company Ltd
  • Others

Key strategies adopted by some of the distribution transformer companies are:

In February 2020, Abunayyan Holding and Eaton announced the development of a joint venture to service and produce medium and low-voltage switchgear in the Middle East. The product portfolio includes AC generator, diesel generator sets, AC generators, DC motors, electronics such as DC and AC battery, charger, drivers and uninterruptible power supply system, switchgear including circuit breakers and panels, and unitized package substation.

Key findings of the global distribution transformer market are:

  • Rising demand for electricity has led to the strengthening of electric transmission and distribution network.
  • Growth in renewables-based power generation is increasing the need for replacement of the T&D network.
  • The digital transformation of utilities would help the maintenance staff to monitor staff in a better and efficient way.
  • The collaboration of new technologies is bringing technological advancement in the distribution transformer.
  • The growing adoption of the smart grid is benefiting the market.
  • The growing renewable sector is pushing grid stability to its limit.
