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. Total export value is expected to reach RMB 64.6 billion, up nearly 36% year on year. In January–February 2026, exports of high‑power transformers surged by 61% year on year, with shipments to the United States increasing by 182%; overseas order backlogs have generally extended through 2027. The combined impact of global AI data center construction, grid modernization and upgrades, and the integration of new energy sources is driving sustained growth in transformer demand, leaving a global supply gap of approximately 30%. Delivery lead times for large‑scale equipment have typically stretched to over 24 months. Leveraging its complete industrial chain, stable production capacity, and accumulated technological expertise, China has emerged as a key global supplier of transformers, offering products across multiple segments—including high‑voltage, distribution, and specialized applications—tailored to meet the grid standards and operating conditions of diverse countries and regions.
