Replacing the existing grids, expansion of the distribution network with the aim of rural electrification has also fuelled the growth of the global transformer monitoring system market. Application of the transformers in the distribution and power generation networks are the main sectors for the deployment of the monitoring systems.

On the basis of its type, the global transformer monitoring system market is segmented into hardware and software solutions. The growing distribution network for electricity has seen the hardware segment dominate the global transformer monitoring system market. Based on service, the global transformer monitoring system market can be segmented into oil/gas monitoring, bushing monitoring, temperature monitoring, and partial discharge monitoring.

As the bushing monitoring keeps a check on the condition of the transformer, abnormalities in insulation and deterioration of bushing which all form an important part of the transformer, the bushing monitoring system hold a more significant market share as compared to the other counterparts.

Based on its application, the global transformer monitoring system market can be segmented into power transformers and distribution transformers. The increasing number of grids and higher utilization of renewable sources for power generation has seen the transformer monitoring systems being highly utilized for the power segment. Also, the stringent government regulations for monitoring and control of transmission network have increased the demand or transformer monitoring systems.

The major market driver for the global transformer monitoring system market is the ever-increasing demand for uninterrupted supply of energy. The other factors driving the growth of the global transformer monitoring system market are the expansion of existing transmission and distribution infrastructure, growing focus on renewable sources of energy, and advantages offered by monitoring systems such as data storage, more reliability, and safety in operation.

The key market restraint for the global transformer monitoring system market is the high cost of installation for the transformer monitoring systems. The technological advancements which use sensors, monitors, and data storage further increase the value. These systems also pose high cost of maintenance which hinders the growth of the global transformer monitoring system market.

Key Industry Developments

• In July 2019, Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) announced its plans to install smart transformer monitoring systems for monitoring its substations and big transformers in the country. This will enable the authority to access data of substations about loading, off pick loading, pick loading and voltage. This will ensure reliable operation and make the system more effective.


• In December 2018, H2scan announced about the launch of their new product named New Gen 5 System. This system will provide Hydrogen gas safety sensing which will reduce the risk of explosion risk of the distribution transformers. This system can be installed at all the transformers which will result in cost savings up to 80%, and it is also compact in size as compared to the earlier available hydrogen monitoring systems.
