during the forecast period, according to their latest report.


The market study covers the present scenario and growth prospects of the
global power
transformers
market for 2017-2021. The global
power transformers market can be segmented into liquid-immersed and
dry-type
, based on the type of insulating medium being used. The
liquid-immersed segment accounted for more than 73% of the market share
in 2016.

Technavio analysts highlight the following three market drivers that are
contributing to the growth of the global power transformers market:

  • Modernization of existing transformers
  • T&D expansion leading to increase in transformer installations
  • Expansion in renewable power generation capacity

Modernization of existing transformers

Factors such as the increase in installation of new transformers and the
replacement of old transformers with new ones are fueling the growth of
the global power transformers market. Much of the T&D infrastructure
globally needs renovation, mainly because the existing networks are
unable to meet the growth in the demand for power. There is a need to
replace the old systems with new ones as well as the need to expand the
existing infrastructure.

โ€œSmart grid networks are also being increasingly used in many
countries. A smart grid refers to an electricity network that delivers
an economical, sustainable, and secure electricity supply by
intelligently integrating the actions of all users, whether they are
consumers, generators, or those capable of both in an efficient manner,โ€
says
Gaurav Mohindru, a lead analyst at Technavio for unit
operations
research.

The use of innovative products and services along with intelligent
metering, monitoring, control, communication, and self-healing
technologies enables a smart grid system to perform a variety of roles.
The use of smart grid systems has enabled utilities to focus on the
installation of more power transformers for the effective transmission
of electric power.

T&D expansion leading to increase in transformer installations

APAC is one of the regions that is undergoing far-reaching changes in
many ways. Countries including China, Thailand, the Philippines,
Vietnam, India, Japan, and Australia, are experiencing substantial
economic growth along with industrial development and commercialization.
Therefore, the demand for power in these countries is also increasing.

Industrial development has a direct impact on urbanization, which
results in increased construction activities in the residential and
commercial sectors. India has one of the fastest rates of urban
development worldwide due to the rapid population growth and rising
disposable incomes. China is also experiencing a similar urbanization
trend.

โ€œThis has spurred activity among private and public power sector
companies in many regions to commence projects of planned network
capacity expansion which entails the setting up of several power
stations, substations, and distribution stations. This will result in
the need for more step-up and step-down power transformers,โ€
says
Gaurav.

Expansion in renewable power generation capacity

In 2014, China and the US each accounted for about one-fifth of the
global power generation capacity. Most of the significant expansion
activities are taking place in renewable energy. To meet stringent
carbon emission goals and reduce the dependence on depleting fossil fuel
resources, may countries are adopting renewable sources of energy like
wind and solar.

Many end-users have embraced alternative forms of energy instead of
depending on power generators that operate on fossil fuels. Solar power,
wind power, and other forms of renewable energy are becoming
increasingly popular among all categories of electricity end-users. In
2016, the total wind power installed across the European Union was 142
GW, as per Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). Onshore installed capacity
was approximate 92% while the remaining was based on offshore facilities.
