The challenges associated with high initial costs and maintenance requirements of vacuum pressure impregnated transformers could act as a major restraint for market growth. Furthermore, the availability of alternative technologies such as dry-type transformers may also pose a threat to the market.
The North America market for vacuum pressure impregnated transformers is expected to witness significant growth due to the increasing demand for efficient and reliable power distribution systems in countries such as the U.S. and Canada. The rising investments in infrastructure development and the expanding industrial sector are driving the demand for transformers in the region.
Asia Pacific:
The Asia Pacific region, particularly countries like China, Japan, and South Korea, is anticipated to be a lucrative market for vacuum pressure impregnated transformers. The rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing investments in renewable energy projects are fueling the growth of the transformer market in these countries.
Europe:
In Europe, countries like the United Kingdom, Germany, and France are witnessing a growing demand for vacuum pressure impregnated transformers. The strict regulations regarding energy efficiency and the increasing focus on renewable energy sources are driving the adoption of advanced transformers in the region.
The VPI transformer market can be segmented based on winding into two categories: two winding and auto transformer. Two winding transformers are commonly used in various applications such as industries, inner-city substations, and underground substations. On the other hand, auto transformers are preferred for applications where step-up or step-down transformation is required.
Rating:
Based on rating, the VPI transformer market can be classified into three segments: transformers with a rating of ≤ 5 MVA, > 5 MVA to ≤ 30 MVA, and > 30 MVA. Transformers with a rating of ≤ 5 MVA are generally used in small-scale applications, while transformers with a rating of > 30 MVA are typically used in large-scale industrial applications or renewable generation projects.
Application:
The VPI transformer market can also be segmented based on application into industries, inner-city substations, indoor/underground substations, and renewable generation. Industries often require VPI transformers for reliable power distribution, while inner-city substations use them for efficient power transmission within urban areas. Indoor/underground substations prefer VPI transformers due to their compact design and environmental benefits. Renewable generation projects utilize VPI transformers to connect renewable energy sources to the grid.
