The transformer oil market is expected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2021 to 2030
The global transformer oil market is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2030 from an estimated market size of USD 1.9 billion in 2021, at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. The factors driving the growth for transformer oil are the expansion of electric grids in developing countries along with the modernization of electric grids in the developed economies due to growing industrialization and urbanization.
“Mineral oil segment dominates the global market”
The mineral oil segment is expected to have the largest market share and is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Mineral oil is further segmented into naphthenic and paraffinic oil, and a majority of the existing and new transformers manufactured use mineral oil as the insulation fluid. The demand for mineral oil is expected to grow during the forecast period because of its low cost index and easy availability compared to other transformer oils.
“Transmission & Distribution segment to lead the global transformer oil market “
The transmission & distribution segment is projected to be the most significant transformer oil market, by end-user, during the forecast period. It has the largest share of the transformer oil market owing to the global growth in the production and consumption of electricity. Transmission & distribution utilities own and operate the transmission & distribution system. Thus, growing demand for power will necessitate the expansion of the transmission & distribution network, thereby enhancing the demand for electrical components, such as transformers, reactors, and switchgears, leading to an increase in the demand for transformer oil.
“APAC dominates the global transformer oil market in terms of annual growth rate”
APAC was the largest market, for transformer oil market in 2020, driven mainly by activities in China, India, Japan, South Korea and Australia. The region is also projected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid increase in the demand for electricity and an increase in the power generation capacity in developing countries such as India and China, along with the growth in industrial and commercial sectors, will lead to an increase in the number of substations. Growth in the number of substations will propel the demand for transformers, which will enhance the demand for transformer oil in APAC.
