Market Growth Factors

Renewable energy projects cause expansion of the Latin America transformer market. Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile are investing in wind, solar, and hydroelectric power for increases in their energy production, which requires transformers for voltage control within national power systems. For utility-scale wind and solar projects, such as SPIC's investment of USD 147.41 Million into wind and solar parks in Northeastern Brazil in 2024, better efficiency and reliability, with transformers specifically designed for renewable applications, is necessary.

Industrialization and urbanization in Latin America leads to an increase in demand for transformers. More manufacturing, mining and construction requires a larger and more powerful electrical infrastructure to supply them. Cities also need more strong power to transmit through distribution networks. The need ensures city centers access reliable, high quality power supplies in residential areas and business areas. In Peru, for example, they commissioned four new renewable projects (507 MW) in 2024, investing over USD 530 Million.

Stringent infrastructure and grid modernization efforts are active in the Latin American regions. Investments are focused on replacing obsolete transformers with larger, more power-efficient and low-loss devices which provide grid stability. For example, in 2024, Siemens Energy received a USD 60 million order for upgrading the power-to-power transmission grid in Brazil, including condition monitoring systems designed to provide understanding into the health of transformers. Smart grid technologies make transformer monitoring and control necessary to provide a reliable power supply.
