According to Vasudha, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, Power Transformers are expected to dominate the Philippines transformer market due to extensive usage in high-voltage transmission systems and renewable integration projects. The country’s growing solar and wind sectors, particularly in Luzon and Visayas, rely heavily on large-capacity power transformers to ensure stable grid connectivity and efficient long-distance power transmission.
Within the power transformer category, the 50.1 MVA - 160 MVA range leads due to its suitability for medium- to high-capacity substations that are prevalent in industrial and utility-scale power projects. This segment finds strong application in the expansion of renewable generation capacity and urban grid upgrades.
Among distribution transformers, the 100.1-315 kVA range dominates due to its wide application in rural electrification, commercial buildings, and residential complexes. These transformers offer optimal energy distribution and efficiency across medium-load networks.
In terms of cooling system, liquid type transformers hold the major market share owing to their superior efficiency and suitability for high-load industrial and utility applications. The tropical climate of the Philippines further supports the adoption of oil-cooled systems to handle higher ambient temperatures and voltage variations.
Among applications, the power utilities segment dominates the market. The expansion of national grid infrastructure, coupled with modernization of substations by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), is driving the need for both power and distribution transformers. Industrial applications follow closely, driven by growth in manufacturing, mining, and data centres.
