According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Transformer Oil Market is accounted for $1.96 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $3.49 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. Transformer Oil is oil that is stable at high temperatures and an exceptional insulator for electricity. This transformer oil is majorly derivatives of mineral oils, but substitute composition with better physical and chemical properties is growing in demand. Transformer oil is used in electrical power transformers to serve as a coolant and suppress corona discharge.



Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising Electric Grids and its Modernization


Most of the world’s network of electricity generation, transmission and distribution resources is getting old. The need to upgrade technologies in order to reliably incorporate new systems, changing market dynamics and shifting consumer preferences is also rising. The technological modifications are outperforming both infrastructure capabilities and policy development while everyone seeks for ways to sync current policies with a rapidly changing energy market. Furthermore, the Office of Electricity (OE) is working to transform, strengthen, and improve energy infrastructure to guarantee access to reliable, secure, and clean sources of energy with its public and private partners. Additionally, the increase in installation of new transformer and switchgears and investments in the expansion of T&D system and grid network and by emerging economies to provide the potential increase in power demand owing to the growing urbanization and industrialization is also anticipated to fuel the demand for transformer oil.

Restraint:

Environmental Concerns Associated With the Usage of Mineral-Based Transformer Oil 


Naphthenic mineral oil has long been the most preferred transformer oil because of its high efficiency, easy availability, and its useful chemical properties such as good pour point at low temperature and exceptional thermal cooling capacity. Adoption of paraffinic mineral oil had gained traction over the years, due to its excellent oxidation stability. Though, both paraffinic and naphthenic variants of the mineral oil are products of highly refined, purified, and processed petroleum, thus being highly non-biodegradable. The mineral oil is characterized by biodegradability ranging from 0–40% and is sourced from a non-renewable resource. The global economies, both the developed and the developing, are transitioning towards adopting green and environmentally friendly technologies. This transition might hinder the adoption of mineral-based transformer oils in the near future, and become a restraint to the mineral oil market over the long run.

Opportunity:

Growth in Cross-Border Electricity Trade


Cross-border electricity trade has gained traction in the recent past and the number of economies participating in the electricity trade has exponentially increased over the years. For instance, the European Union (EU) is planning to strengthen the power grids of individual countries and establish a pan-European grid. Recently, the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) has proposed to create an integrated South Asian regional power market through cross-border electricity trade involving countries such as Myanmar, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal. These developments are likely to result in the expansion of the grid network and the setting up of new transmission lines, ultimately increasing the demand for transformer and switchgears, and also for transformer oils over the coming years.

Threat:

Instabilities in Crude Oil Prices

Crude oil is the most important energy resource to conduct economic activities, and the uncertainty in the evolution of crude oil prices has an important effect on economic stability. Transformer oil is a highly refined, processed, and purified product of crude oil. Therefore, the fluctuations in the price of crude oil will have a direct impact on the transformer oil manufacturers, creating a situation of uncertainty. However, prices had witnessed a rising trend, which resulted in higher demand for production enhancement activities. Because of these situations of uncertainty, brought about by the fluctuation of crude oil prices, the decision to buy crude oil for the right price becomes difficult for the transformer oil manufacturers.

Transmission & Distribution segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The transmission & distribution segment has the largest share of the Transformer Oil Market owing to the global growth in the production and consumption of electricity. Transmission & distribution utilities own and operate the transmission & distribution system. Thus, growing demand for power will necessitate the expansion of the transmission & distribution network, thereby enhancing the demand for electrical components, such as transformers, reactors, and switchgears, leading to an increase in the demand for transformer oil.

The Mineral Oil segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The Mineral Oil segment has emerged as the dominant raw material segment. The Mineral Oil is further segmented into Naphthenic oil and Paraffinic oil. Mineral Transformer Oil is primarily used in insulating and cooling processes by transformers, reactors, and switchgear. Mineral oil enhances the dielectric strength of the winding and prevents oxidation of the core by surrounding a transformer core-coil assembly. Mineral oil has a low-cost index and is easily available over other types of oils, which are fuelling the transformer oil market growth for this segment.

Region with largest share:

The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, due to the rising demand for electricity in densely populated countries such as India and China, the development of grid infrastructure, and increasing investments in the power sector. With an extensive demand for energy grids in the emerging economies of the developing nations of India and China, supply is expected to rise to an eye-raising amount. China is the leading manufacturing hub in the province due to the industrial revolution which augmented the trading of transformer oils and transformers. The increasing necessity to upgrade & transform existing electricity distribution infrastructure in developing countries such as India, China, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia in the Asia Pacific area is one of the key driving factors for the growing demand for transformer oil.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR, due to modernization, technical upgrade, and improvement of the already present transformers, and manufacturing new transformers as per consumer's demand is on the rise in the North American section, giving rise to the interest of investors and manufacturers in the region. Increasing Investment and improvement in the power grid lead to growth in the number of substations is expected to boost the demand for transformers, resulting in the growth of the transformer oil demand in the North America region.
