The closed core segment is expected to exceed USD 8.2 billion by 2034. The EU's Eco-Design Directive and similar energy efficiency standards are driving the adoption of closed core transformers due to their lower energy losses. Closed core designs are efficient in reducing no-load losses, which is especially valuable for utilities and industrial applications. As part of Europe's push toward sustainability, industries and utilities are focusing on transformers that optimize energy use, and closed core transformers are becoming a preferred option due to their efficiency.
The utility segment is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of over 7.3% through 2034. Europe's strong commitment to renewable energy, especially wind and solar power, is driving demand for utility-scale transformers that can integrate with renewable sources. Transformers in this segment need to handle fluctuating power loads, ensuring consistent energy flow from renewable inputs to the grid. There is growing demand for eco-friendly transformers, using sustainable insulating materials like natural esters instead of mineral oils. These transformers are also designed for reduced energy loss, aligning with Europe’s sustainability goals.
Germany transformer market is projected to surpass USD 3.1 billion by 2034. Germany's Decentralized energy systems, such as rooftop solar, energy storage, and community wind projects, require transformers that support bi-directional flow and integration of localized power sources. Distribution transformers that facilitate efficient energy flow within microgrids and other decentralized systems are in high demand.
As energy storage becomes a core component of Germany’s renewable infrastructure, transformers designed to interface seamlessly with battery storage systems are needed to balance supply and demand effectively. Germany’s robust industrial sector, including automotive, manufacturing, and chemicals, requires reliable transformers that can handle high energy loads. Utility and industrial transformers play a critical role in ensuring uninterrupted power supply, meeting high-demand requirements in these energy-intensive industries.
