ABB Ltd. (Switzerland) and Alstom SA (France) are the leading players in the Traction Transformer Market
A traction transformer (onboard) is a transformer used in the rolling stock. Traction transformers are crucial components in the traction chain, affecting the train performance as well as operator services. These transformers can be mounted on the roof of the rolling stock, machine rooms of the rolling stock, and under the rolling stock. These rolling stocks include high-speed trains, electric locomotives, and metros. Traction transformers receive power supply from the overhead catenary line which can be either AC or DC power lines. The traction transformer market is expected to be valued at USD 724.2 Million by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% between 2016 and 2022. The factors driving the growth of the market include the significant government funding for rail infrastructure development, shift toward low carbon rail transport, and liberalization of rail transport network.
