The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to a focus on reducing energy loss in power transmission, growing focus on grid reliability, expansion of electricity access to remote and rural areas, government policies supporting energy infrastructure development, and increasing industrial automation. Major trends in the forecast period include digitalization in power systems, artificial intelligence (AI) in grid management, green and sustainable energy solutions, microgrids, and the adoption of IOT-enabled shunt reactors.

The increasing adoption of renewable energy is projected to boost the growth of the shunt reactor circuit market. Renewable energy, derived from continually replenished natural sources such as sunlight and wind, offers a sustainable method of power generation. This rise in renewable energy adoption is driven by growing environmental concerns, the need for sustainable solutions, and government incentives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In renewable energy systems, shunt reactor circuits play a crucial role in stabilizing voltage levels and managing reactive power in long transmission lines, which helps integrate renewable energy sources into the grid effectively and reliably. For example, in March 2024, the European Environment Agency reported that in 2022, 23% of the energy consumed in the European Union was from renewable sources, up from 21.9% in 2021. This increase in renewable energy use is driving demand for shunt reactor circuits.

Leading companies in the shunt reactor circuit market are focusing on deploying variable shunt reactors to improve the stability and efficiency of power grids by managing reactive power and voltage levels dynamically. Variable shunt reactors are sophisticated electrical devices designed to adjust reactive power compensation in real-time, which enhances grid stability and efficiency. For instance, in April 2022, Adani Electricity Ltd., an Indian electric utility company, installed a 220 kV variable shunt reactor at their Gorai substation in Mumbai. This installation highlights Adani Electricity’s commitment to advancing infrastructure and optimizing grid operations to meet increasing energy demands and ensure reliable service delivery, thus improving the overall performance and reliability of the electrical network.

In April 2024, Triton Partners, a UK-based investment management firm, acquired Trench Group for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen Triton's position in the high-voltage grid components market and leverage Trench Group’s expertise to benefit from the global energy transition. Trench Group, based in Germany, specializes in high-voltage grid components, including air core shunt reactors, bushings, and instrument transformers.

A shunt reactor circuit is an electrical device used in power systems to absorb reactive power and stabilize voltage levels. It consists of an inductor connected in parallel with the power line to compensate for the capacitive reactance of long transmission lines. By absorbing excess reactive power, the shunt reactor helps maintain voltage stability and enhances the efficiency of power transmission.

The main types of shunt reactor circuits are oil-immersed and air-core. Oil-immersed shunt reactors feature a core immersed in insulating oil, which provides both insulation and cooling. These reactors are used in various applications, including both variable and fixed configurations, and are employed by electric utilities and industrial sectors.
