Market Overview

The global industry that produces, distributes, and sells insulating oils made from renewable resources like vegetable or animal fats is known as the renewable natural ester insulating oil market. These oils are utilized in high-voltage devices such as electrical transformers and provide a number of benefits over conventional mineral-based insulating oils, such as increased fire resistance and improved biodegradability. Increased use of renewable energy sources, stricter environmental laws, and rising demand for insulating oils that are fireproof and biodegradable are the main factors propelling the market's expansion. Renewable natural esters are becoming widely used as a result of consumers' growing demands for eco-friendly and sustainable products. Additionally, governments and regulatory agencies are pushing for the adoption of non-toxic and biodegradable insulating oils. The demand for fire-resistant insulating oils is rising as a result of expanding infrastructure and urban density. Renewable natural esters can help prevent devastating electrical fires and provide remarkable flame resistance.

Driving Factors

Renewable natural ester insulating oils are becoming more popular since they work better than mineral oils. They have reduced toxicity, improved fire resistance, and biodegradability. These oils can also be used in tough working situations because of their lower pour point and higher flash point. Further driving the need for renewable natural ester insulating oils is the growing usage of high-voltage transformers in power transmission and distribution networks. Additionally, NREL forecasts that in order to meet the energy demands of residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation sectors, distribution transformer capacity may need to rise by 160% to 260% by 2050 compared to 2021 levels. This estimate is based on the transformer data that was gathered. A major factor in the rise in demand is electrification and aged transformers. Diverse transformer types are used in utility undergrounding and resilience programs, and NREL is also looking into possible demand surges from extreme weather occurrences. Renewable natural ester insulating oils are becoming more and more in demand as high-voltage transformers are used more often in power transmission and distribution networks.

Restraints & Challenges

The higher price of renewable natural ester insulating oils in comparison to conventional mineral-based insulating oils is one of the primary problems holding back the market. Problems may also arise from supply chain interruptions and restricted raw material availability.

Market Segmentation

The global renewable natural ester insulating oil market share is classified into type and application.

• The FR3 (soybean extract) segment held a significant share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.                

Based on the type, the global renewable natural ester insulating oil market is categorized as FR3 (soybean extract), biotemp (sunflower seed extraction), and others. Among these, the FR3 (soybean extract) segment accounted for a significant share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Soybean oil is used to make FR3 esters, which combine affordability and good electrical performance. Because FR3 esters have a greater flash point (330°C) than mineral oil (155°C), there is a far lower chance of a fire.

• The voltage above 500kv transformer segment held a significant share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.       

Based on the application, the global renewable natural ester insulating oil market is categorized as voltage below 220kv transformer, voltage 220-500kv transformer, and voltage above 500kv transformer. Among these, the voltage above 500kv transformer segment held a significant share in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. This is due to the fact that high-voltage transformers are vital to the power grid infrastructure because they allow electricity to be sent over great distances with low losses. The expansion of this market is driven by the need for dependable and effective insulating oils in these transformers.
