Segmented by phase, the three-phase fixed shunt reactors currently dominate, expected to exceed USD 640 million by 2032. This growth is fueled by rising needs for voltage stabilization and reactive power compensation solutions within transmission and distribution networks. Furthermore, initiatives for grid modernization and the integration of renewable energy sources are boosting the uptake of fixed shunt reactors. Investments in upgrading aging infrastructure play a vital role in market expansion as utilities strive to bolster grid reliability and efficiency to accommodate the region's evolving energy demands.
The Asia Pacific fixed shunt reactor market utilizing oil-immersed insulation is forecasted to achieve 5% CAGR through 2032. This growth trajectory is attributed to several advantages inherent to oil-immersed insulation for fixed shunt reactors, including superior cooling properties, enhanced dielectric strength, and improved thermal conductivity. Additionally, oil-immersed insulation offers better protection against environmental factors such as moisture and contaminants, thereby prolonging the lifespan and reliability of fixed shunt reactors in demanding operational conditions. Moreover, oil-immersed insulation facilitates easier maintenance and servicing, reducing downtime and overall operational costs for utilities.
The Chinese market for fixed shunt reactors is poised to exceed USD 450 million by 2032, due to the increasing demand for electricity in China's rapidly developing urban centers necessitates the enhancement of power transmission infrastructure, where fixed shunt reactors play a crucial role. Additionally, the government's initiatives to upgrade the power grid to accommodate renewable energy sources contribute significantly to the market expansion. Over the 2021-2025 period, China aims to revamp and enlarge its power grids through investments totalling USD 442 billion, which in turn aid in market growth. Moreover, ongoing industrialization and urbanization further fuel the demand for efficient power transmission solutions, fostering the market's growth trajectory.
