Instrument Transformer Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The instrument transformer market is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 3.5% during the forecast period of 2020-2025. Factors such as expansion in the transmission and distribution network and growth in the renewable power generation facilities are likely to drive the market. However, delays in power grid expansion projects are expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Key Highlights

• With the rapid expansion in the power grid network across emerging energy markets, it is expected that the power utility segment is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period.
• A number of governments of both emerging and underdeveloped nations across the world are increasingly focusing on expanding its power grid network towards rural areas. Regions like Africa that have low access to electricity has initiated various road maps to lay down the electricity grid towards its remote places. Power Africa, an initiative led by the United States, is planning to have 30 GW of electricity generation by 2030 and is expected to provide electricity to around 60 million homes in the remote areas of the region. Such a step is likely to create ample opportunity for the instrument transformer companies to expand its business in the near future.
• Asia-Pacific is likely to witness significant growth during the forecast period, with the majority of the demand coming from China and India.

Key Market TrendsPower Utility Sector is Likely to Dominate the Market

• The power utility is one of the significant segments that utilize instrument transformers to lower the high voltage or current of the primary winding down to typically 120 volt or 5 amperes on the secondary winding so that it can be measured with a voltmeter or ammeter.
• Instrument transformers provide electrical isolation in between high voltage power circuit and measuring instruments that reduce the electrical insulation requirement for measuring devices and protective circuits and assures the safety of operators.
• Instrument transform in power utility sectors is primarily used in transmission and distribution network, to measure and to have step-down voltage on the end-user sites. Expansion or installation of new transmission and distribution networks indicates a higher installation of instrument transformers.
• During 2018, investment for transmission network has increased to around USD 100 billion, from USD 70 billion in 2012. Moreover, with ongoing electrification projects, especially in developing and under-developed nations, it is estimated to have a higher investment in the coming years.
• Upcoming transmission projects such as Atlantic Wind Connection is one of the most prominent projects in the world that is estimated to have an investment of around USD 5 billion and is likely to power two million homes in southern Virginia. Thus, such an investment or project is expected to grow the instrument transformer market in the coming years.

Asia-Pacific Likely to Witness Significant Growth

• The factors that contribute to the growth of the instrument transformer market include the expansion and up-gradation of existing power and distribution infrastructure, with modernizing measuring and monitoring equipment.
• During 2015, the Chinese government planned for global energy interconnection (GEI), for which the country is planning to invest USD 27 trillion by 2050, with nearly USD 7 trillion for power grid construction. GEI is an intercontinental transmission and distribution project, set to connect Eurasia's power grids. The project is expected to start in 2020, which will likely boost power grid equipment such as the instrument transformer market during the forecast period.
• During 2018, China has nearly 1.89 million kilometers of 35kV transmission lines, and additionally, it has almost 733 thousand kilometers of 220kV transmission line. Such a massive transmission line is estimated to have more than 11000 substations. Moreover, the upcoming projects and projects in pipeline are expected to boost the demand for instrument transformers during the forecast period.
• • India, on the other hand, had initiated various policies to provide electricity to every household. Under its schemes like Saubhagya and Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana scheme, the country has planned to supply power to its rural areas. The scheme is estimated to have installed multiple substations and transmission lines.
• • Moreover, with the increasing electricity demand and growing air pollution, governments are concentrating more on having renewable energy. The region has a significant number of upcoming solar, hydro, and wind projects that are likely to have various transmission lines and would help expand the instrument transformer market during the coming years.
