Rectifier transformer offers voltage regulations as they are using diodes or thyristors in the tank and they are recognized as the best option for industrial processes, as they require direct current supply. Contrary to this, converter transformer will have a significant market share and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% by registering a revenue of $3,999.0 million by 2027. Extensively growing concern about the environmental pollution along with supportive government policies is anticipated to create demand for dry type transformer which will ultimately surge the growth of the segment, during the projected period.

Cast resin sub-segment for the dry type transformer market shall have rapid growth and it is anticipated to generate a revenue of $4,438.2 million by 2027, during the forecast period. Cast resin dry type transformers are coated by epoxy resin which prevents moisture into the windings and protects the transformer against adverse humid conditions. Due to these factors, the adoption of cast-resin dry-type transformers will extensively increase in the power sector, which may offer lucrative opportunities for the segment, during the forecast timeframe. However, vacuum pressure impregnated (VPI) sub segment for the global market shall have the fastest growth and is projected to reach up to $2,118.5 million by 2027, at a 6.5% CAGR. The VPI technology in dry type transformer offers varnish coating of polyester which helps transformers to be operational during higher pressure activities. Moreover, the rapid shift towards the ‘asset-light lifestyle’ of the working professionals is one of the key factors for the growing demand for the segment which will eventually drive the market, during the forecast period. Furthermore, minimization in administration cost, instant support, and superior servicing & maintenance offered by the dry type transformer industry may create massive opportunities for the segment, over the forecast timeframe.

The three-phase sub segment of dry type transformer market will be the fastest-growing and it is expected to register a revenue of$ 643.2 million by 2027, throughout the analysis timeframe. In addition, key players operating in this market are developing digital technologies in dry type transformer to serve the customers. For instance, HITACHI-ABB offers TXpert technology for digital dry type transformer; it is designed with smart hardware and software components which offers tracibility and monitoring of the performance of dry type transformer. It is the world’s first digital dry transformer. Such technological advancements are projected to upsurge the growth of the segment, during the projected timeframe.

The low voltage range sub-segment shall have rapid growth and is anticipated to generate a revenue of $4,665.2  million by 2027, during the forecast period; this is mainly because of increasing adoption of transformers that are not harmful for environment.

The industrial sub-segment may experience significant growth during the forecast period with a revenue of $3,590.1 million with CAGR of 5.9%  due to higher applications in different industries such as oil, gas, automobile, steel manufactures, electrochemical industry and many more applications. However, the commercial sub-segment of dry type transformers will have the fastest growth and it is projected to surpass $2,181.2 million by 2027, with an increase from $1,563.3 million in 2019.

The dry type transformer market for the North American region will be a rapidly-growing market. This market has generated revenue of $1,210.4 million in 2019 and is further projected to reach up to $1,708.0 million by 2027.
