Dry-Type Transformer Market Report 2026

The dry-type transformer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $7.1 billion in 2025 to $7.66 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to urban infrastructure expansion, increasing safety regulations for electrical equipment, growth of commercial buildings, replacement of oil-filled transformers, rising power distribution reliability requirements.

The dry-type transformer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.26 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth in renewable power integration, increasing electrification of public infrastructure, rising demand for compact substation solutions, expansion of smart grid networks, stricter fire safety and environmental standards. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of cast resin insulation technologies, rising preference for indoor and underground substation installations, growing demand for low maintenance and fire-safe transformers, expansion of medium voltage dry-type transformer installations, replacement of oil-filled transformers in urban environments.

The expansion of renewable energy infrastructure is anticipated to boost the growth of the dry-type transformer market in the coming years. Renewable energy infrastructure includes the systems and facilities used to generate and distribute electricity from sustainable sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower. This expansion is fueled by the increasing global demand for clean energy, aimed at reducing carbon emissions, addressing climate change, and meeting rising electricity requirements. Dry-type transformers play a key role in supporting renewable energy systems by enabling the safe and efficient integration of wind and solar power into the grid, offering low maintenance, minimal fire risk, and improved environmental sustainability. For example, according to the World Resources Institute, U.S. solar power installations reached 39.6 gigawatts (GW) in 2024, up from 27.4 GW in 2023, increasing the total capacity to around 220 GW and supplying over 7% of the nation’s electricity. Consequently, the growth of renewable energy infrastructure is a significant driver of the dry-type transformer market.

Major companies in the dry-type transformer market are focusing on advanced products, such as compact dry-type pole-mounted transformers, to improve energy efficiency and ensure reliable power distribution in urban and industrial environments. Compact dry-type pole-mounted transformers are small, pole-installed units that use dry insulation instead of liquid coolants, providing safe and efficient electricity distribution. For example, in February 2023, Hitachi Energy Ltd., a Switzerland-based energy technology company, launched the next-generation TXpert Hub to digitalize transformers. This solution collects and analyzes data from digital sensors across various transformer types, enhancing connectivity and cybersecurity, simplifying retrofits, and delivering actionable insights to reduce costs, optimize operations, extend service life, and improve environmental performance, making transformer digitalization easier, more effective, and secure.

In April 2023, Eaton Corporation plc, an Ireland-based industrial manufacturing company, acquired Jiangsu Ryan Electrical Co. Ltd. for $100 million. Through this acquisition, Eaton aims to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, enhance manufacturing capabilities in power distribution and sub-transmission transformers, and strengthen its portfolio to meet growing demand in renewable energy, data center, utility, and industrial markets. Jiangsu Ryan Electrical Co. Ltd. is a China-based manufacturer of dry-type transformers.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have moderately impacted the dry-type transformer market by increasing costs of imported electrical steel, copper windings, and insulation materials, leading to higher manufacturing expenses. These cost pressures have particularly affected industrial and utility applications, with Asia-Pacific and Europe experiencing notable supply chain disruptions due to cross-border component dependencies. Medium and high voltage transformer segments have seen pricing volatility as manufacturers adjust sourcing strategies. However, tariffs have also encouraged localization of manufacturing, boosting domestic production capabilities and strengthening regional supply resilience over the long term.

Dry-type transformers are a category of electrical transformers that rely on air for cooling, with their windings protected by solid insulation materials such as epoxy resin or varnish. This type of insulation provides strong resistance against moisture, dust, and other environmental factors. These transformers are engineered to enhance safety, minimize environmental impact, and ensure operational reliability, while also lowering the maintenance requirements typically associated with liquid-filled transformers.

The primary varieties of dry-type transformers include open-type transformers, closed-type transformers, cast resin transformers, and transformers with non-corrosive insulation. Open-type transformers have windings and cores exposed to air without a full enclosure. They come in various voltage ratings, including low, medium, and high voltage, and are available in both single-phase and three-phase designs. These transformers are commonly used in multiple settings, such as industrial facilities, urban substations, indoor and underground substations, and renewable energy installations, supporting diverse end-users across industrial, commercial, and utility sectors.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the dry-type transformer market in 2025.
