This study intends to analyse diverse aspects of the global transformer oil market. The insights offered in this report are expected to aid in market growth examination over the forecast timeline.

Market Analysis in Brief

The unwavering demand for electricity leads to a subsequent increase in demand for transformer oil. Surging population figures, globalization, and industrialization have contributed to this increase in demand. While the mineral oil segment represents a measurably large share in the overall valuation of transformer oil market, the biodegradable transformer oil segment is in fact more likely to index the fastest growth rate through the forecast period. Research primarily reveals that the transformer oil market of Asia Pacific may continue to account for the most profitable revenue share in global transformer oil industry.

Asia Pacific to account for the majority share of the worldwide transformer oil industry over the forecast period

Growth Drivers

Rapidly Increasing Consumption and Distribution of Electricity

The ever-expanding transmission and distribution of energy around the world is one of the primary factors driving the growth of transformer oil market. Electricity consumption is increasing because of growing urbanization and industrialisation, particularly in emerging countries with high population densities such as India and China. As a result, governments in these countries are launching steps to provide uninterrupted power supply and extend the current grid infrastructure, which in turn is influencing the growth of transformer oil market. Furthermore, increased investments in power grid development in industrialized regions such as Europe and North America is a major growth-inducing driver for the transformer oil market.

For instance, because of the excellent economic performance of BRIC countries, and the promotion of electrification, global power consumption has risen to almost 23,000 terawatt-hours. Electricity markets around the world faced unprecedented demand in 2021. Strong economic growth, paired with colder winters and warmer summers, increased worldwide electricity demand by more than 6%, the highest increase since the financial crisis ended in 2010. The number of transformer installations has also increased as electricity demand has expanded across various sectors. Furthermore, this market will be driven by increasing investments in the power sector, industrialization, and the shifting trend toward the adoption of renewable energy sources.

Ease of Availability, and High Compatibility of Mineral Oil

Over the projection period, the mineral oil segment is estimated to account for the largest revenue share in the transformer oil market, exhibiting the fastest rate of growth. Mineral oil is primarily used in transformers, reactors, and switchgear for cooling and insulation. It's also used to dissipate heat away from the transformer's internal windings. Mineral oil is further divided into naphthenic and paraffinic oils, with mineral oil being used as an insulating fluid in most existing and new transformers. Mineral oil demand is predicted to increase over the projection period due to its low-cost index, and the ease of availability when compared to other transformer oils.

Growth Challenges

Environmental Concerns, and Volatility of Crude Oil Prices

Transformer oil is a petroleum-based product that could have a negative impact on the environment if not disposed of properly. Apart from hampering the environment, transformer oil can be hazardous to human health resulting in respiratory problems and skin irritation, among other concerns, which could lead to a greater demand for alternatives. This factor in conjunction with the imposing of stringent environmental safeguards by various nations could ultimately hinder the further progression of the global transformer oil market.

Growth Opportunities Across Regions

Asia Pacific Spearheads with Shooting Investments in Electricity

The growing demand for power in highly populated nations such as India, China, and in Southeast Asia; the Asia Pacific region is likely to lead this market. In addition, this market is expected to grow due to the expansion of grid infrastructure and increased investments in the power sector. Because of the significant need for transformer oil in power transmission infrastructure, China is likely to lead the Asia Pacific region, followed by India. The demand for transformers will increase as the number of substations rises, boosting the growth of transformer oil market across Asia Pacific.

In 2019, power energy investments in the Asia Pacific region totalled a little over US$48 billion. This was more than quadruple the amount invested in renewable energy in the Asia Pacific region in 2010. Moreover, Asia led Transmission & Distribution (T&D) investments in 2020, accounting for around 44.5% of global T&D spending which is estimated to be around US$386 Bn by 2030. Grid reinforcement, the replacement of obsolete T&D infrastructure, and grid extension initiatives are all covered by this expenditure. Furthermore, T&D investment in the Indian subcontinent is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.72% from 2020 to 2030, signifying a significant growth of the region's electric grid network.

The developing economies of Asia Pacific are investing in the expansion of their T&D systems and grid networks to meet the expected increase in power consumption caused by rapid industrialization, and urbanization across the region. Installation of new transformers, and switchgear because of the development of the grid network, and T&D system is expected to fortify the expansion of the region’s transformer oil market.

Because of expanding industrialisation efforts and an increase in the manufacturing of electrical devices and equipment in countries such as the United States, North America will significantly contribute to boosting the expansion of the transformer oil market. Russia and Germany remain the largest transformer oil consumers in Europe. Increased electricity consumption and the construction of new power plants are expected to supplement the European transformer oil market with promising growth potential. Increased demand for energy in Latin America, and the Middle East Africa regions, as well as the construction of necessary infrastructure, are slated to promote the adoption of several types of equipment, and as a result, transformer oil.
