Lighting Transformer Market Expected to Reach $2.1 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Lighting Transformer Market," The lighting transformer market size was valued at $1.2 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $2.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2022 to 2031.

Lighting transformers are transformers that are specifically utilized to work with lighting. A transformer that is used to decouple two circuits is known as an isolation & illumination transformer. These transformers frequently have symmetrical windings with a ratio of 1:1. Increase in application of transformers in residential and commercial areas is expected to offer opportunities for growth of the market in the near future.

Moreover, growth in demand for low voltage lighting transformer and rise in trend for dimmers switches are factors that drive the market. Resistive dimmers are another name for leading edge dimmers. These dimmer sets reduce the AC cycle at the input's leading edge. The phrase "leading edge" derives from this. These dimmers are highly popular and are found in many homes. These dimmers are rated in terms of watts, with 1000 Watts being the greatest variety usually found.

Moreover, rising organic growth strategies by major key players across the Asia-Pacific and North America region has surge demand for low voltage lighting transformer market, which in turn is expected to provide lighting transformers market opportunities. High cost of maintenance of low voltage transformer is expected to hamper market growth. 

On the basis of type, the electronic transformers segment garnered the highest lighting transformer market share of about 54.68% in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in demand for electronic transformers from various applications including residential, commercial, and industrial sector, and others industry. 

Rise in demand for electronic transformers from residential and industrial sectors such as homes, and manufacturing industries to convert high power voltage to medium voltage is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. Moreover, surge in demand for electronic transformers from the industries which requires less electrical energy with voltage of 33kV, and 440V-220V for domestic areas in residential areas is expected to fuel the demand for the global electronic transformers market during the analyzed time frame. 

The isolation transformer segment garnered the second largest share in 2021, in terms of revenue, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5%. Isolation One circuit is separated from another by a transformer. Isolation transformers are frequently employed in situations where delicate equipment needs to be shielded from harmful voltage or current levels crossing a major power source. 

On the basis of application, the commercial and residential segment garnered the largest share in 2021, in terms of revenue, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5%, owing to rise in demand for lighting transformer systems from homes, commercial building, and others across the regions. In addition, rise in demand for transformers in utility sector for conversion of higher voltage to low level voltage is anticipated to drive the growth of the market in the coming years. 

Rapid growth in the commercial sector over the last decade is projected to continue in the upcoming years, owing to increased investments in infrastructure, and refurbishment of smart grids industry across the Asia-Pacific and LAMEA regions.Large commercial complexes, malls, shops, data centers, and other applications drive the demand for transformer market.

Region-wise, Asia-Pacific dominated the market size in 2021 and is anticipated to maintain this transformers market trend during the forecast period. This is attributed to presence of large number of key players in global lighting transformer market and growth in sales of electronic transformers in the U.S. and China. In addition, rising investment of major key players in Asia-Pacific is further anticipated to fuel the growth of the market in the coming years. 

The global lighting transformers market analysis covers in-depth information of the major ligting transformers industry participants. The key players operating and profiled in the report include Eaton Corporation Plc., Schneider Electric, ABB Ltd., Hitachi, Trio Transformer, Trans Power Tech, MX LightForce, Pelton Power Technologies Private Limited, Airlink Transformers, and Leviton which hold significant share of the market.

Significant development by major key players across the globe is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of the lighting transformers market during the forecast period. Several developing countries across the globe are implementing and expanding its manufacturing lines with the aim to achieve the digitization of entire value chain from transformer to production of lighting transformers and services which are expected to meet the increase in demand from industrial sector, which further fuels the demand for lighting transformers market industry.
