The "Instrument Transformers Market by Type (Current, Potential, and Combined Instrument Transformers), Enclosure Type (Indoor and Outdoor), Dielectric Medium (Solid, Liquid, and SF6 Gas), Voltage, Application, End-User & Region - Global Forecast to 2022" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global instrument transformers market is projected to reach a market size of USD 9.06 Billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 4.35%, from an estimated USD 7.32 Billion in 2017.

The global market is set to witness a significant growth due to increasing emphasis on alternative energy production across the globe, refurbishment of aging infrastructure, and huge investments in smart grids and energy systems. Although some cost bearing constraints in the installation of instrument transformers are being observed, still emerging economies are expected to create better opportunities for the instrument transformers market. The delay in grid expansion is expected to be a major challenge for the growth in the instrument transformers market.

With regards to the voltage segment, the distribution voltage segment is expected to constitute the largest market by 2022. The distribution voltage has been considered between 0.72 kV and 36 kV in this report. The main application of instrument transformers is to offer electrical protection against overload currents, insulation failure, and emergency switching for residential and commercial infrastructures.

The instrument transformers market is projected to grow at a fast pace in the Middle East. This region is undergoing rapid electricity infrastructure development to maintain the demand-supply balance. Moreover, countries such as the UAE are investing heavily in diversifying their energy mix and are trying to tap into renewable sources. Qatar is set to be the host of the FIFA World Cup 2022 and the country needs to upgrade its infrastructure. The process of upgradation would create substantial opportunities for the suppliers of instrument transformers.

Some of the prominent players in the power quality equipment market include ABB (Switzerland), Siemens (Germany), Schneider Electric (France), and GE (US).
