This industry research report identifies ABB, ALSTOM, JST transformateurs, Mitsubishi Electric, and Siemens as the key vendors in the global traction transformers market. This industry research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by type (tapped, tap-changing, and rectifier) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).
Overview of the global traction transformers market
Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global traction transformers market will grow steadily during the next four years and post a CAGR of close to 6% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the growth of high-speed rail networks in developing economies as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The major developing economies in APAC, namely China and India, are increasingly investing in high-speed rail networks. Additionally, large scale projects in the Americas on high-speed rail networks are also underway. The steady growth in high-speed rail networks across the world is expected to fuel the demand for traction transformers.
One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the traction transformers market in the coming years is the use of smart grids to power trains. Electric railways are considered as one of the fastest and the quietest means of transport. However, when the brake is applied, the energy of the moving train is lost. To recapture the energy that is lost during braking is an easy task, but to redistribute it efficiently through the power grid is rather difficult and therefore the research efforts are aimed at efficiently capturing and redistributing the energy lost during braking by using smart grids.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
With the presence of several major players, the traction transformers market appears to be competitive. The market is capital-intensive in nature and thus requires high initial investments. Vendors in this segment focus on factors such as the product's cost, strict cost controls, improvements in the value chain, and increased cost awareness.
The leading vendors in the market are -
- ABB
- ALSTOM
- JST transformateurs
- Mitsubishi Electric
- Siemens
The other prominent vendors in the market include ALTRAFO, CRRC, EMCO, Hind Rectifiers, Hitachi, International BEZ Group, International Electric power, KONČAR - Electrical Industry, SETRANS HOLDING, Skoda Transportation, and Wabtec Corporation (Brush Traction).
Segmentation by type and analysis of the traction transformers market
- Tapped
- Tap-changing
- Rectifier
During 2016, the tapped segment accounted for the major shares and dominated the traction transformers market. Tapped traction transformers find wide applications in electric locomotives and high-speed trains. Transport authorities around the globe have recognized the role of light-rail vehicles, monorail, and metro rail in public transport due to the growing traffic congestion in the urban areas. Factors such as the growing population pressure and road congestion will contribute to the growth of rapid-transit vehicles, which in turn, will create the demand for tapped traction transformers in the coming years.
Geographical segmentation and analysis of the traction transformers market
- Americas
- APAC
- EMEA
This market study estimates that in terms of geographic regions, EMEA will be the major revenue contributor to the traction transformers market by 2021. Countries such as France and Germany have witnessed a rise in the number of railway infrastructure projects which has led to an increase in demand for rolling stock and related components. This in turn, lead to the demand for traction transformers. Additionally, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, such as Dubai and Doha, have also increased their investments in railway infrastructure projects, which will again lead to the demand for traction transformers in these regions.
