The global instrument transformers market is expected to grow from $7.01 billion in 2020 to $7.61 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.47%. The growth is mainly due to the growing demand for electricity, fuel by growing reliance on electrical devices in the forecast period. The market is expected to reach $9.69 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 6.23%.
The instrument transformers market consists of sales of instrument transformers by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that manufacture instrument transformers.Instrument transformers are electrical devices of high precision that are used to isolate or convert the voltage or current levels.
Instrument transformers are most often used to run instruments or metering from high voltage or high current circuits while securely disconnecting secondary control circuits from high voltages or currents.
The main types of instrument transformers include current transformers, potential transformers, and combined instrument transformers.. These transformers contain indoor and outdoor enclosure types and are used to transform different voltages such as distribution voltage, sub-transmission voltage, high voltage transmission, extra high voltage transmission, and ultra-high voltage transmission. The instrument transformers are used in relaying, switchgear assemblies, metering, and protection, others and implemented in different verticals such as power utilities, power generation, industries and OEMs, others.
Asia Pacific was the largest region in the instrument transformers market in 2020.Europe was the second-largest market in the instrument transformers market.
The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa.
Technological advancement is shaping the instrument transformers market.Major companies operating in the instrument transformers field are focused on developing technological solutions for instrument transformers.
For instance, in September 2020, Hitachi ABB Power Grids, a Switzerland-based company that offers instrument transformers introduced TXpert Ecosystem for the digitalization of transformers. The ecosystem is intended to support data-driven knowledge and decision-making in transformer and power grid operations and maintenance.
In March 2021, Siemens AG, a German-based company acquired C&S Electric Limited for $285.4 million. The acquisition will enable Siemens AG to take up the competitive infrastructure low-voltage market in India while creating a manufacturing hub for sourcing low-voltage products for export to global markets. C&S Electric Limited is an India-based electrical equipment manufacturer.
The increasing electricity demand is expected to fuel the growth of the instrument transformers market in the coming years.Electricity is a form of energy that can be transmitted through wires and is used for heating, lighting, and machine power.
As a result of increased household incomes, electrification of transportation and heat, surging demand for digitally connected devices and air conditioning, the electricity demand is expected to propel even further.Instrument transformers are specialized transformers that are used to test current and voltage while keeping measurement and control equipment isolated from the primary circuit.
For instance, according to the World Energy Outlook, global electricity demand is expected to increase at 2.1% per year until 2040, double the rate of primary energy growth. The share of electricity in the overall final energy demand is expected to rise from 19% in 2018 to 24% in 2040 as a result of this. Therefore, the increasing electricity demand propels the growth of the instrument transformers market.
