Based on bushing type, the market is segmented into resin impregnated paper (RIP), oil impregnated paper (OIP), and others. The OIP bushing type is anticipated to exceed over USD 1.45 billion by 2032. As the world increasingly shifts towards renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, there arises a heightened demand for transformers and switchgear. OIP electrical bushings are commonly utilized in such applications owing to their performance and suitability for high-voltage environments. Many nations are actively investing in upgrading and extending their power grids to improve efficiency, reliability, and the smooth integration of renewable energy sources. This surge in activity is driving the demand for OIP electrical bushings.
Polymeric electrical bushing market is segmented into medium, high, and extra high, based on voltage. The high voltage segment will grow at a CAGR of over 6.5% by 2032. High-voltage polymeric electrical bushings play a crucial role in ensuring the safe transmission of energy and maintaining a reliable power supply across utility networks. In recent decades, utilities have made substantial investments in the expansion of high-capacity transmission networks to facilitate the transmission of electrical signals over long distances. Consequently, there has been a notable surge in demand for high-capacity transmission components, including HV polymeric electrical bushings.
The Asia Pacific polymeric electrical bushing market is forecasted to reach more than USD 750 million by 2032. The Asia-Pacific region is experiencing significant growth in renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. Polymeric electrical bushings are being increasingly utilized in renewable energy infrastructure due to their lightweight design, durability, and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
