Rising electricity demand is expected to drive growth in the vacuum-pressure encapsulated (VPE) transformer market. Electricity demand reflects the amount of power consumed at any given time, measured in kilowatts (kW), indicating the rate of electricity usage. VPE transformers offer high mechanical and short-circuit strength, reducing fire or explosion risks and efficiently managing electricity by providing effective electrical isolation. For instance, in October 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that electricity production reached 996.1 TWh in July 2024, marking a 2.6% increase year-over-year, fueled by a 7.8% rise in renewable energy. Solar energy grew by 20.6%, and hydropower increased by 8.1%, with renewables comprising 32.9% of the electricity mix. As a result, the rising electricity demand is propelling the VPE transformer market forward.

Leading companies in the VPE transformer market are focusing on innovative products to enhance electricity distribution efficiency and environmental friendliness. One such innovation is the development of dry-type pole-mounted transformers. These transformers use air or gas as the cooling medium and are mounted on poles for outdoor installation, eliminating the need for liquid insulation. Siemens Energy, a Germany-based energy technology company, introduced CAREPOLE in April 2022. CAREPOLE is a Vacuum Pressure Impregnated (VPI) pole-mounted transformer, available in single-phase designs with a voltage capacity of up to 36 kV and power ratings ranging from 10 kVA to 100 kVA. It is a dry-type transformer that uses no oil, enhancing safety and environmental sustainability compared to traditional oil-filled transformers.

In April 2023, Eaton Corporation, a US-based power management company, acquired a 49% stake in Jiangsu Ryan Electrical Co. Ltd., a China-based power manufacturer of VFE dry-type transformers. This strategic acquisition positions Eaton to capitalize on global growth trends in electrification and digitalization, contributing to the transition to renewable energy and addressing critical power management challenges worldwide.

The vacuum-pressure-encapsulated (VPE) transformer market consists of sales of cast coil VPE transformers, tape wound VPE transformers, and amorphous core VPE transformers. Values in this market are ‘factory gate’ values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

A Vacuum-Pressure Encapsulated (VPE) transformer is a specific type of electrical transformer designed with a vacuum-sealed enclosure for enhanced insulation and reduced environmental impact, contributing to efficient and reliable power distribution. This transformer utilizes vacuum technology to eliminate air and moisture from its interior, minimizing the risk of insulation breakdown and thereby extending the lifespan of the transformer. The vacuum-pressure encapsulated design helps create a controlled environment within the transformer, improving its insulation properties and overall performance in power distribution applications.

Vacuum-pressure-encapsulated (VPE) transformers come in two main winding configurations, two-winding and auto-transformers. A two-winding transformer features distinct primary and secondary windings, optimizing energy transfer and voltage transformation through electromagnetic induction. These transformers are classified based on ratings such as ≤5 MVA, >5 MVA to ≤ 30 MVA, and > 30 MVA. They find application in various sectors, including industrial settings, inner-city substations, indoor or underground substations, and renewable energy generation.
