title: Dry Type Transformer Market Demand Outlook and Long-Term Forecast 2034

---

Dry type transformers are electrical transformers that use air as a cooling medium instead of liquid insulating oils. These transformers are insulated using solid materials such as epoxy resin or fiberglass and are designed to operate safely in indoor and environmentally sensitive locations. Due to their non-flammable nature, low maintenance requirements, and reduced environmental impact, dry type transformers are increasingly replacing oil-filled transformers in commercial, industrial, and utility applications.

The Dry Type Transformer Market in 2026 is experiencing steady expansion driven by rising power consumption, rapid urbanization, and increased investments in power infrastructure across the globe. According to Fortune Business Insights, The global dry type transformer market size was valued at USD 6.83 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow from USD 7.18 billion in 2026 to USD 12.15 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.80% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the global market with a share of 36.02% in 2025, supported by strong industrial growth and large-scale electrification projects.
