The oil immersed fixed shunt reactors segment dominated over 60% of the market share in 2023 on account of their superior cooling capabilities compared to dry-type reactors. The use of oil provides effectively insulating windings, excellent dielectric properties, and prevention of electrical breakdowns. However, oil-immersed insulation ensures efficient heat transfer, superior thermal conductivity, compactness, and cost-effectiveness, making it an attractive choice in the single-phase fixed shunt reactor market.
The electric utility segment will showcase 3% growth up to 2032. As utilities aim to enhance grid stability, manage reactive power, and improve voltage regulation, investments in fixed shunt reactors for transmission and distribution networks are increasing. Factors like urbanization, industrialization, and renewable energy integration further drive market expansion. In addition, grid modernization initiatives and the demand for reliable power supply stimulate investments in single-phase fixed shunt reactors by electric utilities. With a focus on enhancing grid efficiency and reliability, the market anticipates continued upward trajectory, offering manufacturers and suppliers opportunities to meet the growing demand efficiently.
Asia Pacific single-phase fixed shunt reactor market is projected to surpass USD 340 million by 2032. Rapid industrialization and urbanization in countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia, elevating electricity demand and necessitating infrastructure reinforcement. India's 7.3% energy consumption increase in 2022, attributed to robust economic and urban expansion, underscores this trend. Additionally, the integration of renewable energy sources like solar and wind demands enhanced grid stability, fueling the adoption of fixed shunt reactors. Government initiatives to modernize power grids further accelerate market growth. Utilities' focus on energy efficiency and reliability also fuels investment in single-phase fixed shunt reactors, propelling market expansion in the region.
