Strategic Insights
Traction Transformer Market Growth Drivers- Traction Transformers to boost Railway Performance: Traction transformers are required for all electric railway systems, including high-speed trains, ordinary trains, light rails, metros, and trams. They are also known as train transformers, because they help convert grid electricity into the voltage required by trains while reducing waste during transmission. Traction transformer endure mechanical vibrations, temperature changes, and electrical loads while operating at high performance and safety levels. Thus, the demand for traction transfomers is expected to grow during the forecast period.
- Increasing Demand for Eco-Friendly Systems: A dry-type traction transformer, which is recyclable and does not utilize fossil fuels, can make the railway system more environmentally friendly than ever. They are highly efficient, resulting in significant energy savings and reduced carbon emissions. They also include ECO designs and solutions, such as natural air cooling instead of oil, to further reduce emissions and losses. Thus, the demand for traction transfomers is expected to grow during the forecast period.
- Integration of Smart Technologies:Development of new products is expected to drive the demand for traction transformers during the forecast period. For instance, in September 2022, Hitachi Energy announced the launch of its innovative oil-free traction transformer RESIBLOC Rail, with integrated cooling system and voltages up to 25-kilovolt (kV), at InnoTrans, the international trade fair for rail transportation at the Berlin Messe in Germany.
- Shift Toward More Compact and Lightweight Transformers: A significant trend in the traction transformer market is the development of more compact and lightweight transformers. With the need for increased energy efficiency and the desire to minimize the weight of rail vehicles, manufacturers are focusing on producing smaller and lighter traction transformers without compromising performance. These transformers can contribute to overall energy savings, reduced operational costs, and better integration with modern rail vehicles, especially in applications like high-speed trains and urban mass transit systems.
- High Reliability of Traction Transformers:Traction transformers provide exceptional reliability independent of the environment or state. They include various sorts of protection to ensure that they remain functioning and endure for a long time, even in harsh settings and applications. Traction transformers are designed to meet industry standards, ensuring the safety of train operators, passengers, and maintenance personnel.
- Growing Demand for High-Speed Rail and Urban Rail Transit Systems: The expansion of high-speed rail (HSR) networks and urban rail transit systems presents a significant opportunity for the traction transformer market. High-speed rail projects, which require advanced, reliable, and efficient traction transformers, are being implemented in regions like China, Europe, and Japan. Additionally, the development of metro systems in densely populated cities is fueling the need for energy-efficient and compact transformers that can handle high power loads. These expanding transportation networks create significant opportunities for traction transformer manufacturers to supply new infrastructure projects.

Below is the breakup of our primary respondents by company, designation, and region:
Once we receive the confirmation from primary research sources or primary respondents, we finalize the base year market estimation and forecast the data as per the macroeconomic and microeconomic factors assessed during data collection.
- Data Analysis:
Once data is validated through both secondary as well as primary respondents, we finalize the market estimations by hypothesis formulation and factor analysis at regional and country level.
- 3.1 Macro-Economic Factor Analysis:
We analyse macroeconomic indicators such the gross domestic product (GDP), increase in the demand for goods and services across industries, technological advancement, regional economic growth, governmental policies, the influence of COVID-19, PEST analysis, and other aspects. This analysis aids in setting benchmarks for various nations/regions and approximating market splits. Additionally, the general trend of the aforementioned components aid in determining the market's development possibilities.
- 3.2 Country Level Data:
Various factors that are especially aligned to the country are taken into account to determine the market size for a certain area and country, including the presence of vendors, such as headquarters and offices, the country's GDP, demand patterns, and industry growth. To comprehend the market dynamics for the nation, a number of growth variables, inhibitors, application areas, and current market trends are researched. The aforementioned elements aid in determining the country's overall market's growth potential.
- 3.3 Company Profile:
The “Table of Contents” is formulated by listing and analyzing more than 25 - 30 companies operating in the market ecosystem across geographies. However, we profile only 10 companies as a standard practice in our syndicate reports. These 10 companies comprise leading, emerging, and regional players. Nonetheless, our analysis is not restricted to the 10 listed companies, we also analyze other companies present in the market to develop a holistic view and understand the prevailing trends. The “Company Profiles” section in the report covers key facts, business description, products & services, financial information, SWOT analysis, and key developments. The financial information presented is extracted from the annual reports and official documents of the publicly listed companies. Upon collecting the information for the sections of respective companies, we verify them via various primary sources and then compile the data in respective company profiles. The company level information helps us in deriving the base number as well as in forecasting the market size.
- 3.4 Developing Base Number:
Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
