The report offers a comprehensive study of the following market segments and their leading categories.
According to Shivank Sharma, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, Closed core transformers dominate in Indonesia due to their efficiency, stability, and reliability in continuous load operations. They are widely deployed in PLN’s transmission network, hydropower projects, and industrial sectors where uninterrupted electricity supply is essential.
Power transformers dominate as they are crucial for PLN’s large-scale transmission projects and renewable integration. They are heavily deployed in Java, Sumatra, and Kalimantan to manage rising electricity demand from industries and urban zones.
Two-winding transformers dominate due to their broad application in both distribution and industrial systems. Their cost-effectiveness and efficiency make them the preferred choice for PLN’s substations and manufacturing plants.
Utility applications dominate since PLN’s grid modernization and electrification programs account for the bulk of transformer installations. Utilities also lead demand for high-voltage transformers in cross-island transmission projects.
Oil-immersed transformers dominate because of their high durability and ability to handle heavy loads in Indonesia’s tropical climate. They are preferred for power plants, renewable projects, and utility substations.
Three-phase transformers dominate as they are extensively used in industrial plants, utility-scale networks, and transmission corridors. Their ability to manage bulk electricity efficiently makes them indispensable in Indonesia’s energy system.
Transformers in the 61 MVA to 600 MVA range dominate as they are heavily deployed in PLN’s high-voltage substations, cross-island transmission projects, and industrial hubs.
