Segments - Solid State Transformer Market by Components (Switches, Converters, High-frequency Transformer, and Others), End-users (Transportation, Energy, and Others), Products (Traction Solid State Transformer, Distribution Solid State Transformer, and Power Solid State Transformer), Applications (Power Distribution, Alternative Power Generation, Traction Locomotives, Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global solid state transformer market size was 112.08 Million in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 293.75 Million by 2031 register a considerable CAGR 11.3% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the exponential shift from traditional transformer to solid state transformer for enhanced voltage regulation.
Solid state transformer (SST) is advanced electrical energy device that offers bi-directional power flow. It is the amalgamation of high-powered conventional high frequency transformers, semiconductor components, and control circuitry. SST offers a wide range of applications in terms of renewable power generation, voltage regulation, efficient transformation from alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), and reactive power consumption.
Compared to traditional transformers, it is small in size and improves the quality of the power by regulating voltage fluctuations. SST connect the various sources of energy, such as wind power and solar power to power girds and enhances the efficiency of power transmission systems.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had a negative impact on the market. During the pandemic, several transmission, as well as renewable projects have been delayed. Additionally, the SST components supply chain is disrupted across the globe resulting a decline in demand for SST. The market is expected to recover soon with an uptrend operation due to subsiding the COVID cases gradually across the globe.
