The expansion of industrial sectors worldwide serves as a pivotal market driver in the control transformer industry, underpinning its growth and significance. Across various economies, industrial sectors encompass manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and oil & gas, among others, which heavily rely on control transformers for efficient power distribution and operational control. According to India Brand Equity Foundation, the Indian government estimates to have 25% of the economy’s output come from manufacturing by 2025. The surge in industrial activities, particularly in emerging markets, is fuelled by factors such as urbanization, infrastructure development, and increasing consumer demand. As industries modernize and adopt advanced technologies like automation and IoT, the demand for precise control systems escalates, further driving the need for reliable control transformers. Additionally, the emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability amplifies the requirement for optimized power distribution solutions, where control transformers play a vital role in regulating voltage levels and enhancing operational efficiency. The growth of industrial sectors worldwide not only spurs demand for control transformers but also stimulates innovation and product development in the industry.

Renewable energy integration stands as a pivotal market driver propelling the growth of the control transformer industry. As the global focus intensifies on sustainability and reducing carbon emissions, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are gaining prominence in the energy mix.

Control transformers play a crucial role in facilitating the smooth integration of renewable energy by providing voltage regulation, phase shifting, and isolation capabilities essential for grid synchronization and power quality management. With the decentralization of power generation through distributed renewable energy systems, the demand for control transformers in both utility-scale and distributed energy applications is on the rise. According to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), global annual renewable capacity additions increased by almost 50% to nearly 510 gigawatts (GW) in 2023, the fastest growth rate in the past two decades. This is the 22nd year in a row that renewable capacity additions set a new record. While the increases in renewable capacity in Europe, the United States and Brazil hit all-time highs, China’s acceleration was extraordinary. In 2023, China commissioned as much solar PV as the entire world did in 2022, while its wind additions also grew by 66% year-on-year. Globally, solar PV alone accounted for three-quarters of renewable capacity additions worldwide.
