The United States transformer oil market size was valued at USD 482.77 Million in 2024. The market is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.10% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of USD 872.76 Million by 2034.
One prominent trend in the transformer oil market in United States is the increasing adoption of ester-based transformer oils as they have higher fire resistance, better oxidation stability, and environmental friendliness compared to traditional mineral-based oils. This shift towards ester-based oils is driven by the growing emphasis on safety, environmental regulations, and the need for more efficient transformer operation. One prominent example is the increasing adoption of ester-based transformer oils by leading transformer manufacturers, such as ABB, Siemens, and General Electric.
Another notable trend is the rising demand for sustainable and bio-based transformer oils in the U.S. market. With increasing environmental awareness and regulations promoting eco-friendly solutions, there is a growing preference for transformer oils derived from renewable sources. A notable example is the development of bio-based transformer oils by companies such as Cargill, which launched its Bio-Therm line of vegetable-based transformer oils, offering advantages such as biodegradability, lower toxicity, and reduced environmental impact.
The United States transformer oil market growth can further be ascribed to technological innovations and smart grid integration. Advanced monitoring systems, IoT-enabled sensors, and predictive maintenance technologies are being integrated into transformer operations to enhance efficiency, reliability, and performance. Smart grid integration allows for real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and proactive maintenance, optimising transformer lifespan and reducing downtime. Companies like GridBridge and Survalent Technology have developed advanced monitoring systems.
Moreover, with the increasing demand for electricity, ageing grid infrastructure, and the transition towards renewable energy sources, there is a growing need for modernising the grid and upgrading transformer systems. A significant example is the USD 3.5 billion investment by the U.S. Department of Energy in the ‘Grid Modernisation Initiative.'
