In the year 2025, the industry size of instrument transformer is assessed at USD 3.62 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing usage of electricity across the world and the increasing adoption of digitalization. Rapid urbanization and increasing living standards of people across the world are estimated to upsurge the market growth in the coming years. As of 2022, more than 55% of the world’s population was living in cities which is more than 4 billion population, and was estimated to increase twice the current population by the end of 2050. The increasing number of installations of infrastructural monitoring and control systems to enhance the efficiency of the power systems is also estimated to accelerate the market growth during the forecast period.
Rising investments by government and private sectors to improve the electrification initiatives across industries are estimated to boost the market growth in the coming years. The growing need for grid safety as high-voltage electricity is released from these grids which is not reliable and safe for normal household utilization is anticipated to drive the market growth. Also, the escalating requirement for high current or high voltage networks on the industrial scale and large manufacturing units that run on electricity is estimated to fuel the market growth. The value of high-voltage cables in the year 2021 was estimated to reach over USD 15 billion as per the estimations globally.
Growth Drivers

Type (Current Transformer, Voltage Transformer)
The global instrument transformer market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into current transformer and voltage transformer. Out of these types, the current transformer segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing utilization of metering and protection in industries, power grids, control rooms, power plants, and switch gears. The increasing reduction of high voltage power for indoor uses and for safety determination in a current transmission line is estimated to fuel the market growth as per the market analysis. The rising demand for electricity with the rising population across the world is anticipated to drive market growth. And increasing consumption of electricity with the growing adoption of electronic devices, smartphones, televisions, and air conditioners owing to disposable income and rising living standards is estimated to have a positive impact on the overall market growth. Electricity consumption increased by 5% in the year 2021 with an over 4.5% decline in the year 2020 as per the estimations across the world.
End-user (Industrial, Utility)
The global instrument transformer market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end-user into industrial, utility, and others. Amongst these three segments, the utility segment is expected to garner a significant share. The increasing number of households and rising residential and commercial buildings is estimated to drive the segment growth in the coming years. The segment growth is also attributed to the rising number of hospitals, educational institutions, and organizations across the world. The number of hospitals in the United States as per the estimations in 2022 was estimated to be more than 6000. The electricity used in these cases needs to be low voltage current that requires the utility transformer to step down the high voltage which rises the demand for utility transformers in residential areas. Also, the growing onsite power generation technologies along with the smart control networking is estimated to have a positive impact on market growth.
