As countries in the region set stricter environmental regulations, demand is rising for energy-efficient transformers, such as amorphous core transformers, which reduce energy losses. Governments are also promoting sustainable practices, which is encouraging the adoption of transformers that align with these goals. The expansion of industrial sectors, including manufacturing, petrochemicals, and mining, particularly in countries like China, South Korea, and Indonesia, drives the demand for high-capacity transformers. These sectors require reliable energy solutions, often spurring investments in transformers that can handle high loads and ensure operational continuity.
The closed core segment is projected to surpass USD 12.3 billion by 2034. With many Asia Pacific countries investing heavily in renewable energy, there’s an increasing need for transformers that can efficiently handle intermittent loads. Closed core transformers are preferred for these applications due to their robust construction and improved efficiency in managing fluctuating power levels typical of renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
The commercial and industrial segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of over 4.5% through 2034. Industrial sectors are adopting transformers with high energy efficiency to minimize operational costs and reduce environmental impact. Governments across the Asia Pacific are also enforcing energy efficiency standards, prompting industries to invest in energy-efficient transformers with reduced losses. The manufacturing, petrochemical, and mining sectors are experiencing significant growth, especially in countries like China, India, and Indonesia. These industries require robust transformers capable of handling high loads and providing consistent power, leading to increased demand for heavy-duty industrial transformers that support large-scale operations.
The China transformer market is forecasted to exceed USD 13.5 billion by 2034. China’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060 is fueling large investments in renewable energy. The expansion of wind and solar power projects creates demand for transformers that can handle the unique challenges of renewable energy, such as variable loads and grid stability. Specialized transformers for renewable integration are in high demand, supporting smooth energy transmission from diverse sources to the grid. China’s push to modernize its power grid is a major growth driver.
The adoption of smart grid technology necessitates transformers equipped with digital capabilities, such as real-time monitoring and control, to enhance grid reliability and efficiency. Smart transformers with IoT-enabled sensors and automated features are gaining traction as they facilitate predictive maintenance and allow for better grid management.
