Dry Type Transformers Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Technology (Cast Resin, Vacuum Pressure Impregnated), By Voltage Type (Low Voltage, Medium Voltage), By Application (Industrial, Commercial, Others), By Phase (Single, Three) and Geography Forecast till 2026

Transformers are used to increase or decrease voltages and currents in an electrical circuit. They are also known as cast resin transformers and are power transformers with windings encased in epoxy resin. The layer of epoxy helps protect against dust and corrosion. It is a static device that uses environmentally friendly temperature insulation systems.

There are a variety of transformers, including liquid-type transformers, but there are plenty of good reasons why we recommend dry-type transformers such as they are more economical, they pack essential safety features, and they are more efficient. Additionally, they have better overload capacity, efficient as there is low particle discharge along with little loss, no temperature fluctuation, and are easy maintenance.

The dry-type transformers market is categorized by cast resin and vacuum pressure impregnated transformer. Among which cast resin dry type transformer is highly used as it is moisture-proof, has short circuit strength, hardly inflammable and eco-friendly. Low voltage transformers are manufactured in vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) technology, depending on the application such as in commercial buildings, onboard of vessels as well as in deep mines and industrial environments. Single-phase dry-type transformer market is expected to grow due to rapid urbanization and regulatory reforms such as FITs (feed-in-tariff) policies.

The dry type transformer market is driven by its broad applicability in the distribution of electricity. The rapid demand for electricity across the globe due to rapid industrialization in developing countries is further driving the market growth. Additionally, major drivers for the market also include a rise in demand for eco-friendly products and safety over liquid-filled transformers. However, the high cost of the product is the major restraint for the market as it is costlier than oil-cooled transformers along with a lack of investment by government in grid stability and load or number of losses.
