Pad Mounted Transformer Market Research Report, Analysis, Industry Segmentation, Top Key Player and Forecast to 2023
Market Highlights A pad mounted transformer is a ground mounted electric power distribution transformer, locked in a steel cabinet mounted on a concrete pad. These transformers normally have features such as tamper-resistant construction, tamper proof bolts and screws, and lockable compartments with hinged doors. These transformers serve schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and many institutional and industrial applications. Growing investment in renewable sector is rigorously driving the global pad mounted transformer market. To lessen the dependence on conventional fossil fuels, several countries are focusing on renewable energy generation. Furthermore, the market is also driven by enhancements in process control, broad application of information technology to machinery, and technological advancements in machinery. However, the factor restraining the growth of the pad mounted transformer market is that it needs land for installation and has to be placed inside an enclosure to prevent contact with flammable materials. This involves additional cost, which is not required in case of pole mounted transformers. Geographically, Asia Pacific region is the dominating and the fastest growing region for the pad mounted transformer market. In rest of the world, the Middle East & Africa is the second fastest growing market for pad mounted transformer. Speedy urbanization is the factor that greatly impacts the Gulf nations, leading to the eventual development of smart cities, megacities, and even mega corridors of cities, as well as leading to the increasing number of power plants in the region. This is estimated to impact the power T&D sector significantly.
