Global Instrument Transformers Market was valued at USD 7.40 billion in 2021 and it is expected to reach at USD 11.20 billion by 2028, with CAGR of 5.9% over the forecast period (2022-2028).
Instrument transformers are electrical devices designed to precisely modify or isolate voltage or current levels in AC (alternating current) systems. These transformers measure a variety of electrical parameters such as current, voltage, energy, power factor, and frequency. Their main purpose is to reduce the current and voltage in the AC system. While measuring instruments typically have low measuring quantities ranging from 5A to 110A, combining them with instrument transformers and other general electrical measuring devices enables the measurement of larger electrical quantities. Instrument transformers must be able to withstand high levels of stress in all weather conditions.
The instrument transformers market is being driven by various factors, including the increasing adoption of alternative energy programs, the refurbishment of aging power infrastructure, and substantial investments in smart grids and energy systems. The global market is expected to be further boosted by the growing demand for electricity and concerns about grid stability. Furthermore, the authorities' increasing interest in rural electrification and the upgrading of the existing grid network has prompted them to include an effective protection and monitoring mechanism to ensure safety.
