Uninhibited Transformer Oil Market Size to Expand Significantly by the End of 2027

Industry Insights

Uninhibited Transformer Oil Market: Reliable low temperature performance oil

  • Uninhibited transformer oil is a mineral oil, which does not contain any additives such as diteriary-butyl-para-cresole (DBPC) or dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
  • The primarily function of a transformer oil is to provide electrical insulation between the various energized parts. Additionally, it is also used to provide a protective coating on the transformer in order to prevent oxidation on metal surfaces.
  • Transformer oil possess good thermal conductivity due to its low viscosity and viscosity index, which ensures that heat is efficiently removed from core and windings. Moreover, it offers higher oxidation stability in order provide good resistance to the degradation of oil, which in turn boosts the overall life of transformer, with minimum maintenance.
  • Furthermore, uninhibited transformer oil also offers higher dielectric strength by insulating current-carrying parts from each other and from ground, dissipates heat, prevents glow discharges, and extinguishes electric arcs in switchgear. All these characteristics of these uninhibited transformer oils makes them a preferred solution over other available transformer oils.

Key drivers of uninhibited transformer oil market

  • Attributes of uninhibited transformer oil, such as high dielectric strength and low power loss, make it the best oil for usage in transformers and insulators. Moreover, high purity, high flash point, and good cooling capacity helps maintain optimum temperature of the system. Uninhibited transformer oil provides more protection to electrical equipment, as it does not contain additives. Increase in usage of power equipment in developing as well as developed countries owing to its good thermal conductivity and higher oxidation stability is expected to boost the market during the forecast period.
  • Rise in demand for power, increasing cross-border power transmission, and rise in initiatives by governments of developing countries to supply electricity to rural areas in their respective countries are anticipated to propel the demand for transformers in the near future. This, in turn, is expected to drive the uninhibited transformer oil market, as this oil is extensively utilized in electric systems in order to enhance the lifespan of these systems.
  • Additionally, advancements in transmission lines and replacement of old transformer units across the world are projected to drive the deployment of transformers in the near future, which in turn is estimated to drive the global uninhibited transformer oil market.
  • Transformers are highly expensive and failure of these systems can result in economic losses during power interruptions. Beneficial characteristics of uninhibited transformer oil, such as higher oxidation stability and good heat transfer, are expected to drive the demand for the oil in the near future.
  • Additionally, developing power transmission distribution infrastructure and rising industrial expenditure are expected to drive the uninhibited transformer oil market in the near future

Presence of inhibited transformer oil to hamper market

  • Uninhibited transformer oil faces stiff competition from its counterparts such as inhibited transformer oil. Uninhibited oils contain natural inhibitors or synthetic inhibitors to a maximum concentration of 0.08% by weight. While, inhibited oils contain natural inhibitors or synthetic inhibitors to a maximum concentration of 0.4% by weight.
  • Inhibited oils are more refined than uninhibited oils and hence, they have significantly low number of unstable molecules. Additionally, inhibited oils offer higher quality, high consistency, and good base oil composition, thereby resulting in exceptional performance including long oil life and hassle-free transformer operation.

Asia Pacific to hold major share of global uninhibited transformer oil market

  • In terms of region, the global uninhibited transformer oil market can be split into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.
  • Asia Pacific is anticipated to hold a major share of the global uninhibited transformer oil market, especially China and India. High market share held by the region is due to the expansion of electric networks coupled with increasing installation and upgrade of transformers across these regions, which in turn is expected to drive the demand for uninhibited transformer oil in the near future.
  • Furthermore, rise in initiatives by governments across the region is expected to increase the drive the demand for uninhibited transformer oil. For instance, in 2015, the Government of India launched a scheme called Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (abbr. DDUGJY) to provide continuous power supply to rural India. The government plans to invest Rs 756 billion (US$ 11 billion) for rural electrification under this scheme.
  • Additionally, countries across Middle East & Africa are primarily focused on making investments for power generation, which in turn is projected to propel the demand for uninhibited transformer oil in the region
