Global Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037

Oil Filled Transformer Market size was valued at USD 46.22 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 115.51 billion by 2037, expanding at around 7.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of oil filled transformer is assessed at USD 48.92 billion.

The major element to dominates the market revenue is the growing demand for electricity. Over the previous 50 years, the total amount of electrical power consumed globally has risen gradually, and in 2021, it was expected to reach over 25,299 terawatt-hours. The transformer enables energy to effectively travel through it without harming the wire; this power is generated either by an engine or a generator.

Moreover, long-distance transmission of electricity produced by oil-filled transformers is also possible; this enables the provision of energy reaching areas that are not served by wires or generators without the need for costly and time-consuming significant building projects. Hence, the adoption of oil-filled transformers is estimated to grow.

Oil Filled Transformer Market: Growth Drivers and Challenges

Growth Drivers

  • Growing Demand for Renewable Energy: Over the past two decades, the worldwide usage of renewable energy has extensively expanded. In 2022, consumption was expected to almost certainly hit about 44 exajoules. Hence, with this, the demand for oil filled transformers is also growing. Oil-filled transformers are projected to be critical in facilitating this shift to renewable energy sources. For instance, they are employed in wind turbines in order to boost the voltage of the electricity produced and enable long-distance transmission to the grid.
  • Rising Use of Natural Oil in Oil Filled Transformer: Usually, mineral oil is extensively used in oil filled transformer. However, owing to the growing prevalence of pollution the need for alternative oil is growing. Therefore, it has been observed that many organizations are making use of various vegetable oil which includes soybean oil, rapeseed, and sunflower. Since these oils are environmentally friendly they are also estimated to boost the preference for oil-filled transformers.
  • Surge in Construction of Tall Buildings: According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, about 83% of the 200-meter-plus structures in the world were constructed in the past two decades. These tall buildings require a huge supply of electricity for the efficient functioning of elevators, HVAC systems, and more. Therefore, they mostly choose oil-filled transformers, hence further influencing oil filled transformer market expansion.

Challenges

  • Availability of Alternative Technologies - In contrast to oil-filled transformers, which have their windings and core submerged in an insulating liquid, dry-type transformers have their windings and core put inside a sealed tank pressurized with air. Hence, the widespread use of oil-filled transformers is expected to be hindered by this rise in demand for dry-type transformers, which will put pressure on the market.
  • Rising Environmental Issues
  • Strict Government Regulations

Oil Filled Transformer Segmentation

Mode of Cooling (Oil Natural Air Natural, Oil Natural Air Forced, Oil Natural Water Forced)

The oil natural water forced segment is expected to hold the largest share of about 60% over the coming years in the oil filled transformer market. The transformer core and windings are inserted into the oil tank as a component of the oil natural water force cooling technique. A radiator is attached outside the tank. As the temperature rises and the oil heats up and rises, the heat is released naturally through convection. Oil is transported through the radiator, but water is pumped through a heat exchanger to cool the oil. Hence, this is an excellent method for large-scale projects.

Installation (Outdoor, Indoor)

The outdoor segment is expected to hold 70% share of the global oil filled transformer market by the end of 2037, due to its capacity to operate in high-voltage application ranges. Additionally, besides providing the best cooling strength, they additionally allay fire safety worries, which increases their demand and fuels the expansion of the sector as a whole over the forecast period.

Oil Filled Transformer Industry- Regional Synopsis

North American Market Forecast

The North America oil filled transformer market is anticipated to hold the highest revenue share of about 40% over the forecast period. The growth of the market in this region could be attributed to growing government investment in smart grid network projects. The US Department of Energy (DOE) requested input regarding an approximately USD 9 billion plan for smart grids and other grid-strengthening improvements in late 2021.

APAC Market Analysis

The oil filled transformer market in Asia Pacific is also estimated to grow with a notable share. This growth could be owing to the rising need to provide electricity in rural areas. A significant part of Asia Pacific is covered with rural regions and their concern about electricity is also growing. Most rural parts in this region lack the supply of electricity. As a result, the adoption of oil-filled transformers is surging in this region owing to its ability to provide electricity over longer distances.
