The concept of full‑life‑cycle management for transformers is gaining widespread adoption, and operation‑and‑maintenance models are undergoing continuous upgrades.

As a critical component of the power grid, transformers directly impact the reliability of power supply. The conventional operation and maintenance approach relies primarily on routine inspections and preventive testing, making it difficult to comprehensively monitor internal aging trends.

Fluctuations in raw material prices are imposing new requirements on cost management in the transformer industry.

The primary raw materials for transformers include silicon steel sheets, electrolytic copper, insulating materials, and steel. As these bulk commodities are subject to price fluctuations driven by international market conditions and supply‑demand dynamics, they exert upward pressure on cost management for companies in the industry.

Solid-state transformer technology has achieved a breakthrough, making it suitable for AI data centers and next-generation power grids.

Power electronic (solid-state) transformers (SSTs) replace traditional iron cores with third-generation semiconductors, offering high efficiency, compact size, fast response, and flexible AC–DC conversion.


2026-04-13

The penetration rate of smart transformers is rising, and digital operations and maintenance are emerging as a new industry trend.

Smart transformers, by integrating sensors, edge computing, and IoT technologies, enable real-time monitoring of key parameters, fault prediction, and remote control.


2026-04-13

The rollout of energy-efficient transformers is accelerating, making industry-wide efficiency upgrades a key priority.

China’s total installed transformer capacity is approximately 16 billion kVA, with annual electricity losses of about 250 billion kWh, accounting for 40% of the nation’s total transmission and distribution losses.


2026-04-13

Global transformer supply and demand remain tight, with China’s production capacity and exports maintaining strong growth.

In 2025, the output value of China’s transformer industry will exceed RMB 300 billion, with its production accounting for more than 50% of the global total. The sector’s total export value is expected to reach RMB 64.6 billion, up nearly 36% year on year.
