A $1,050 report from GBI Research says an expansion of the transmission and distribution (T&D) base to meet renewable energy targets and replacement of aging infrastructure will present growth opportunities.

Global demand for electricity is expected to increase exponentially in the future with soaring demand in India and China is expected to spur on government efforts to increase national installed capacity.
The demand for energy-efficient transformers is expected to increase, as aging T&D equipment provides opportunities for the replacement market, with infrastructural upgrades necessary to cope with increased electricity generation and consumption. The global market is intensely competitive, involving a large number of highly experienced regional and multinational corporations, and a high Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.3%, with the market growing from a value of $127 billion in 2012 to $301 billion in 2020.
Although the market for T&D equipment has matured, with few technological or product innovations now taking place, renewed demand from emerging economies has helped the market to continue to achieve substantial revenue growth. Global demand for electricity is expected to increase exponentially in the future and soaring demand in India and China is expected to spur on government efforts to increase national installed capacity.
