Medium distribution Transformers, typically within a range of 316 kVA to 2,499 kVA, accounted for the largest revenue share of 45% in 2023 and is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 3.85% during the forecast period. It is attributed to the growing population in cities including Riyadh, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. The high population migration rate in the cities above is also expected to spur regional market demand. Advancements in sustainable development have resulted in the adoption of advanced products with copper-silver alloy windings to prevent them from self-annealing.
The small transformers segment is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 3.75% during the forecast period. Small distribution transformers have a power rating of 0- 315kVA and are primarily used in an area with low population density. Increasing substitution of traditional overhead products with smart grid compatible pole mounted small devices is expected to surge demand over the next seven years. The product suits several diversified powers and light industrial or commercial applications.
Rapid industrialization is expected to be a key factor that drives the larger transformer demand across the regional market. However, lack of transportation facilities in remote areas may pose a challenge owing to the bulky design of these products. Unit substations may also grow steadily due to low installation and maintenance costs.
The industry is expected to grow due to technologically advanced electrical equipment development. Developing various core materials and reducing core flux density is expected to reduce noise.
The liquid filled segment held the largest revenue share of 78% in 2023 and is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR of 3.87% over the forecast period. It is attributed to advanced functional capabilities and efficient design. Pad mounted has numerous utility applications across the industrial, commercial, and residential sector and is expected to drive demand over the foreseeable future. Dry type technology is used particularly in rough environments with high fire safety requirements, such as mining sites, marine, and oil & gas industries.
The dry type segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 3.58% during the forecast period. The increasing focus on energy efficiency and sustainability has propelled the region's demand for dry-type distribution transformers. Dry-type transformers offer advantages such as lower energy losses, reduced environmental impact, and improved fire safety compared to their oil-filled counterparts. It has prompted governments and utilities in the Middle East to prioritize the adoption of dry-type transformers to achieve their energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
