Government policies aimed at increasing electrification are expected to drive the growth of the medium power transformers market going forward. Government policies to increase electrification refer to legislative and regulatory actions implemented by authorities to expand electrical infrastructure and encourage the use of electric technologies across multiple sectors. The growing focus on electrification initiatives is largely fueled by climate commitments, as governments globally adopt clean energy regulations requiring utilities to shift toward renewable energy sources and lower carbon emissions. These policies promote significant investments in electrical infrastructure, including upgrades to transmission and distribution networks that necessitate widespread deployment of transformers to manage higher electricity loads and support the integration of renewable energy sources. For instance, in September 2024, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, state utility regulators approved $9.7 billion in net rate increases in 2023 - more than twice the $4.4 billion approved in 2022 - with major allocations directed toward grid infrastructure development to meet electrification policy requirements. Therefore, government policies promoting electrification are propelling the growth of the medium power transformers market.

Major companies operating in the medium power transformers market are focusing on expanding advanced manufacturing capacity to meet rising market demand and ensure timely supply. Capacity enhancement involves increasing production output and optimizing existing manufacturing processes to boost efficiency, shorten lead times, and support large-scale project needs. For instance, in February 2025, Schneider Electric Infrastructure, an India-based provider of comprehensive electrical and digital solutions, announced plans to expand its Vadodara facility to increase medium power transformer capacity from 5,500 MVA to 7,000 MVA by March 2026. The expansion, funded through internal accruals and borrowings totaling $1.53 million (Rs 13.6 crore), aims to add 1,500 MVA per year. The company’s current utilization rate of 96 percent reflects high operational efficiency and strong market demand. Key aspects of this expansion include the ability to manage larger order volumes, support renewable energy initiatives, integrate advanced switchgear systems, deliver SF6-free switchgear solutions, and provide comprehensive testing and commissioning capabilities for various power applications. This strategic initiative positions Schneider Electric Infrastructure to capitalize on growing market opportunities and strengthen its presence in India’s medium power transformer sector while upholding high-quality standards.

In April 2024, Knorr-Bremse AG, a Germany-based manufacturer of braking systems for rail and commercial vehicles, acquired Alstom SA for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Knorr-Bremse aims to expand its portfolio by integrating Alstom's expertise in manufacturing medium power transformers. Alstom SA, a France-based company, produces medium power transformers, including the Mitrac Transformer.

Medium power transformers are electrical devices designed to transfer electrical energy between circuits through electromagnetic induction at a medium voltage range, typically between 69 kV and 230 kV. These transformers are used in power distribution systems to step up or step down voltage levels, enabling the efficient transmission of electricity over medium distances. Medium power transformers play a vital role in ensuring a stable and reliable power supply across industrial, commercial, and residential applications. They are essential in energy grids for managing load distribution, reducing energy losses, and maintaining power quality.

The medium power transformers market can be categorized into two main types such as oil-cooled and air-cooled transformers. The term oil-cooled in the context of medium power transformers refers to the cooling method employed to enhance the cooling of these transformers.
