It is demanding to determine the global and national market sizes for a product that is needed everywhere, where hundreds of manufacturers compete globally and where markets are multinational and intercontinental. Deep knowledge of power systems, products, and markets is needed for a correct and relevant analysis of data. In order to determine good market data, it is important to have a good understanding of the environment in which the components are used. In general, the market size can be determined top-down, i.e., from the application side or from the bottom-up, corresponding to the manufacturers’ output. The holy grail is to obtain a consistent outcome from both approaches. In this paper, we use India as an example to illustrate the deduction of our market data. We also present a short description of its power system.
The first edition of the StatPlan Transformer Report was issued by StatPlan Energy Research Ltd in 2012. The transformer bases were sized in the transmission and distribution networks globally for regions and major countries. The data basis of this and the following eight annual editions of the report has been generating capacity and utility and other reports of transformer MVA capacity [1]. Transformer capacity in MVA was estimated by applying factors to generating capacity for each segment: generation, transmission, and distribution.
