Market Segment

• In 2022, the high voltage segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the voltage, the United States distribution transformer market is segmented into low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage. Among these, the high voltage segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. A high-voltage distribution transformer is an essential asset in the first and last steps of the grid. It transforms high-voltage transmission into low-voltage transmission for use by industries, infrastructure, and residential complexes. A high-voltage distribution transformer is also used to supply generated electricity to the grid as the amount of decentralized generated electricity from renewable energy sources grows. High-voltage distribution transformers can also receive voltage from high voltage levels and distribute it to lower voltage substations or industries with high energy demands.

• In 2022, the dry type segment accounted for a significant revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the type, the United States distribution transformer market is segmented into oil-filled and dry-type. Among these, the dry-type segment accounted for a significant revenue share over the forecast period. Dry-type distribution transformers offer advantages such as lower energy losses, reduced environmental impact, and improved fire safety compared to their oil-filled counterparts, prompting governments and utilities in the United States to prioritize the adoption of dry-type transformers to achieve their energy efficiency and sustainability goals.

• In 2022, the triple-phase segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the phase, the United States distribution transformer market is segmented into a single phase and triple phase. Among these, the triple-phase segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. A variety of applications, including powering heavy loads, transferring power across electrical grids for power generation, and expanding use in the transmission and distribution industry. For supporting large loads and massive power distribution, triple-phase transformers are more cost-effective than single-phase transformers. As a result, all of these elements are expected to fuel segment growth.

• In 2022, the pad-mounted segment accounted for the significant revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the type of mounting, the United States distribution transformer market is segmented into pole-mounted and pad-mounted. Among these, the pad-mounted segment accounted for the significant revenue share over the forecast period. Pad-mounted distribution transformer units have seen significant market penetration due to the need for effective base foundation and earthing arrangements, particularly for large-unit installations. These transformers are ground-mounted units that are housed in a secure steel cabinet and are placed on a concrete pad. They are commonly used in medium voltage distribution systems to power homes and small businesses. Pad-mounted transformers are becoming more popular due to a variety of factors, including reduced land requirements, improved safety features, improved aesthetics, and reasonable installation costs.
