Global Oil Filled Transformer Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

Global Oil Filled Transformer Market Outlook

The global oil filled transformer market size reached approximately USD 39.79 billion in 2024. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% in the forecast period of 2025-2034, reaching a value of around USD 70.74 billion by 2034.

Key Trends in the Market

An oil filled transformer is a transformer that utilises oil as a coolant to minimise its temperature. It has better heat dissipation properties compared to a dry electric transformer, which enhances its efficiency and performance.

• The growing utilisation of advanced insulating oils, which can mitigate energy loss, is one of the crucial oil filled transformer market trends. Manufacturers are actively looking for new prospects in dielectric materials that have low environmental impact and superior temperature stability to enhance the performance of liquid transformers.

• Market players are also developing innovative cooling techniques such as directed flow cooling and forced circulation of oil to provide an even distribution of heat in these transformers and improve their efficiency.

• With the advent of smart technologies such as the Internet of things (IoT) that offers real-time monitoring and diagnostics of transformers, the oil filled transformer market growth is expected to reach a new trajectory in the coming years. This technology can aid in collecting data for pivotal parameters such as temperature and load distribution, among others, for analysis and fault detection to minimise transformer downtime and improve its longevity.
