The global dry-type transformer market size is projected to grow from USD 11.72 billion in 2025 to USD 16.33 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.9%. The market is poised for strong growth due to the increasing need for safe, efficient, and environmentally sustainable power distribution systems across industrial, commercial, and utility sectors. As energy consumption continues to rise globally, more reliable, fire-resistant, and maintenance-free power transformers have become essential, especially in urban, indoor, and sensitive environments. Dry-type transformers, which use air as a cooling medium instead of oil, are particularly attractive for modern power systems due to their low risk of fire, zero oil leakage, and minimal environmental impact. By 2030, global electricity demand is projected to surge significantly as urbanization, digital infrastructure, and electrification efforts expand. Data centers, hospitals, smart buildings, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and renewable energy facilities require highly reliable and safe transformers that can operate with minimal service interruptions. Dry-type transformers are increasingly deployed in mission-critical environments where operational safety and uptime are paramount.
