Mar 30, 2026 (Global Power News) — As urbanization accelerates and the demand for safe and green power supply surges, dry-type transformers have emerged as the preferred choice for key scenarios such as data centers, hospitals, and high-rise buildings, thanks to their outstanding safety, energy efficiency and environmental performance. Industry data shows that the global dry-type transformer market reached 127 billion US dollars in 2024, with the Asia-Pacific region accounting for 58% of the market share, and China alone contributing 35% of the global market – a testament to the reliability and competitiveness of Chinese dry-type transformers in the global market [
The core advantage of Chinese dry-type transformers lies in their oil-free and fireproof design, which fundamentally eliminates the safety hazards of oil leakage, combustion and explosion existing in traditional oil-immersed transformers. Most mainstream Chinese dry-type transformers currently adopt epoxy resin casting or Nomex insulating paper, with a fire rating of UL94 V-0 and a combustible content of ≤0.1%, making them fully suitable for closed spaces with high safety requirements such as Beijing Daxing Airport and Guangzhou Metro Line 18. These proven applications are also widely recognized in overseas markets, with Chinese dry-type transformers deployed in data centers across Europe and industrial parks in Southeast Asia
Energy efficiency and intelligence are another major highlight of Chinese dry-type transformers, which bring substantial cost savings to global buyers. By adopting H-class insulation materials and nanocrystalline alloys, the no-load loss of the latest Chinese dry-type transformers is 40% lower than that of traditional SCB13 models, and the efficiency reaches more than 99% when the load rate is 90% .
Industry experts point out that with the continuous promotion of new infrastructure and the accelerated construction of smart grids, dry-type transformers will further penetrate into high-end manufacturing, new energy and other fields. The European Union has even mandatorily required that 100% of indoor power distribution scenarios adopt dry-type equipment, and Chinese dry-type transformers, with their compliance with international standards, cost advantages and timely delivery, have become the first choice for European buyers. Choosing Chinese dry-type transformers means choosing safe, efficient and cost-saving equipment that perfectly meets global environmental and safety requirements.
