Global Market for Distribution Transformers is Forecast to Reach US$18.9 Billion by 2020
Robust Electric Power Production Drives the Global Distribution
Transformers Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Distribution
Transformers markets. Global market for Distribution Transformers
is forecast to reach US$18.9 billion by 2020, driven by spiraling
energy consumption and equally robust electric power production.
Electricity consumption over the last few decades soared exponentially
with dramatic rise in global population. All forms of economic activity, such
as industry, agriculture, or services are dependent on uninterrupted power
supply. Aided by factors such as rising urbanization, advancements in energy hogging
technologies and growth in commercial industries, consumption of energy is set to
further increase in the coming years. The resulting demand for equipment for generation, transmission
and distribution of electricity is expected to escalate, translating into
significant opportunities for distribution transformers. Increasing shift towards
clean energy, mounting concerns over carbon emissions, and the need to improve
energy-efficiency represent other important growth drivers in the market.
Influenced by energy-efficiency norms, the market is witnessing
effervescent product innovations to curb energy losses, a major concern
associated with power generation and transmission. Innovations in recent times
include the launch of transformers with amorphous metal distribution
transformers and hexaformers. The market is also witnessing a shift towards Dry
Type Distribution Transformers from Oil Filled Distribution Transformers. Various incentive schemes and tax credits
offered by governments to encourage capital investments in energy-efficient
equipment are also expected to give demand for distribution transformers a
boost.
As stated by the new market research report on Distribution Transformers, Asia-Pacific represents the largest as well as the
fastest growing market worldwide with a CAGR of 6.9% over the analysis period. The
global market is dominated by Oil Filled
Distribution Transformers. Driven by their low flammability and
application in hazardous locations, Dry Type Distribution Transformers are
projected to offer the highest growth potential. Oil filled distribution
transformers are projected to retain their dominance, primarily due to cost
efficiency benefits. The utility end-use sector accounts for the bulk of demand,
while non-utility applications are projected to offer the highest growth
potential.
Major players covered in
the report include Asea Brown Boveri (ABB), Crompton Greaves Ltd., DAIHEN
Corporation, Emerson Industrial Automation, Appleton Group, Eaton Corporation,
EFACEC Group, General Electric Company, Hammond Power Solutions Inc., Howard
Industries, IMP Power Limited, Kirloskar Electric Company Limited, Powertech
Transformers (Pty) Ltd., Schneider Electric SA, Siemens AG, Shihlin Electric
& Engineering Corporation, and Tebian Electric Apparatus Stock Co. Ltd.,
among others.
