The Middle East smart transformer market size is estimated to grow at a robust CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of market is attributed to growing focus of the government over the developed and emerging economies and creating awareness about adoption of smart technological power grid infrastructure and overcome the uncertainties.

Electric vehicles charging points, distributed generation, and aging transmission & distribution (T&D) infrastructure are some of the factors driving the market.
However with the growing demand the energy storage is most likely to surge the smart transformer segment in the region, although the major obstacle that is to be overcome is the poorly formulated government regulation and policies and initiatives to expand and enhance the grid infrastructure.
The smart transformers frequently monitor the voltage and remain in contact with the smart grid allowing it to be administered remotely in the power system. The segment growth is driven by increasing number of investment in developing and strengthening the smart grid infrastructure and digitization in power industry.
Legal authorities across the region are changing their focus on rapid adoption of smart grid technology as a strategic infrastructure investment which allows sustaining long-term economic prosperity and helps in achieving the objective of carbon emission reduction.
This action is estimated to offer immense opportunities to the organizations dealing in with smart transformers market in the near future.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing government initiatives against adoption of smart transformers in emerging economies is expected to spur the market in the coming years.
- Increasing demand for smart grid technologies and energy storage is estimated to drive the market during the forecast period.
