Bio-based
Transformer Oil Market: Overview
·
Transformers are filled with dielectric insulating fluid, which
has high resistance to electricity and heat. There are different types of
transformer oils such as bio-based transformer oil, silicone-based transformer
oil, and mineral-based transformer oil.
·
Bio-based transformer oil is relatively new to the market. It is
produced from vegetable oil feedstock. Bio-based transformer oil is an ideal
replacement for mineral-oil based products, as its eco-friendly and offers
superior performance.
·
Companies are investing more in bio-based transformers oil, as
it is resistant to fire, electricity, and heat; and is bio-degradable.
Bio-based transformer oil does not contain silicone, petroleum hydrocarbons,
and halogens.
Key
Drivers and Restraints of Bio-based Transformer Oil Market
·
Rise in industrialization and urbanization across the globe is
estimated to be a key driver of the bio-based
transformer oil market. Demand for transformers has been increasing significantly
across the world over the last few years. This is expected to drive the
bio-based transformer oil market.
·
Power utilities are focusing on enhancing the safety and
performance of existing & new transformers. Bio-based transformer oil
provides reliable and cleaner transformer oil. This upgrade in transformers by
power utilities is driving the bio-based transformer oil market.
·
Mineral oil is a major substitute of bio-based transformer oil.
Mineral oil becomes unstable at high voltage and heat, leading to premature
degradation of the oil. This results in reduction in the life of the
transformer. However, bio-based transformer oil offers superior performance as
compared to mineral oil, as it is stable at high voltages and temperatures.
·
Availability of inexpensive substitutes, such as mineral oils,
is a major factor restraining the bio-based transformer oil market
Global
Bio-based Transformer Oil Market: Segmentation
·
The global bio-based transformer oil market can be segmented
based on type, application, end-user, and region
·
In terms of type, the bio-based transformer oil market can be
classified into synthetic ester transformer oil and natural ester transformer
fluid. The natural ester transformer fluid segment is projected to expand
during the forecast period, as this fluid is derived from renewable vegetable
oils and provides improved fire safety, transformer life, and environmental
benefits.
·
Based on application, the bio-based transformer oil market can
be bifurcated into power transformer and distribution transformer. The
distribution transformer segment is estimated to expand at a significant CAGR,
owing the expansion of distribution network across the globe due to the
increase in demand for electricity.
·
In terms of end-user, the global market can be split into
residential & commercial, industrial, and utilities. The industrial segment
is expected to lead the market due to the rise in industrialization. This trend
is estimated to continue during the forecast period.

COVID-19
Impact on Global Bio-based Transformer Oil Market
·
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the global
bio-based transformer oil market. Transmission & distribution projects
across the globe have suffered temporary shut down during lockdowns. Depending
upon the capital availability and financial conditions, utilities may defer
some of their generation and T&D investments, thus affecting transformer
manufacturing activities. However, government relief packages for the power
sector are likely to lead to quick recovery of the bio-based transformer oil
market in the near future.
