SOUTH AFRICA DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMER MARKET

South Africa distribution transformer market is projected to grow at higher CAGR of 4.0% during forecast period between 2025 and 2032 due to growing energy demand in the country. South Africa has a well-developed electricity network and one of the highest electricity access rates in sub-Saharan Africa.

Introduction of the South Africa Distribution Transformer Market Report

A distribution transformer is also introduced as a typical form of an isolation transformer. The primary function of this transformer is to modify the high voltage to the standard output like 240/120 V to apply in electric energy distribution. Various forms of transformers are available in the distribution system, such as single-phase, three-phase and can be pad mounted, underground, and pole-mounted. Typically, a distribution transformer level is less than 200 MVA, while some national norms can allow for rating up to 5000 MVA. If the level is more than 200 MVA, it is introduced as a power transformer.

Major South Africa Distribution Transformer Market Drivers

The factors driving the South Africa Distribution Transformer market include growing energy demand in the country. South Africa has a well-developed electricity network and one of the highest electricity access rates in sub-Saharan Africa. According to the International Energy Agency, in 2019, South Africa’s final electricity consumption was 224.56 TWh, and the production was 6689.25 Terajoule. The government of South Africa is taking measures to facilitate growth by stabilizing electricity supply, helping industries with high employment, potential, and undertaking collaborations with the private sector. The government investment for enhancing transmission and distribution infrastructure will drive the South Africa distribution transformer market growth. For instance, according to the National Treasury Republic of South Africa, in 2020, the government initiated procurement of 11,813 MW of new electricity capacity from independent power producers, including 6800 MW to be generated from renewable energy sources. In October 2020, electricity regulations were amended to enable municipalities to procure power from independent producers.

Restraint in the South Africa Distribution Transformer Market

However, time taken for implementation and high cost associated with distribution transformer can act as a restraint and hamper the market growth.

Type – Segment Analysis

Based on the type, three phases are expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. The three-phase distribution transformer holds electrical energy from the primary distribution circuit to the minor distribution circuit. This kind of transformer transfers the current to a secondary distribution circuit and decreases the voltage of the primary distribution circuit. These transformers decrease the primary circuit’s voltage supply based on the customer’s requirement. For instance, Actom offer 5 different capacities of three phase distribution transformer (from 25 kVA to 500 kVA).

Mounted – Segment Analysis

Based on the mounted, pad mounted is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Pad mounted transformers are mounted on the ground to service the underground distribution network. These transformers generally serve urban and rural residential, commercial, and industrial loads. They deliver the maximum amount of tamper resistance in the lowest profile design. For instance, Schneider Electric offer Minera, ground mounted oil immersed transformer have capacity up to 3.15 MVA-36 kVA.
