The liberalization in the rail transport market, increasing government funding, and the growing environmental concerns are the driving factors for the growth of the traction transformer market. The traction transformer market was valued at USD 528.0 Million in 2015 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.6% between 2016 and 2022. The base year considered for study is 2015 and the forecast period is considered for the period between 2016 and 2022. The objective of the report is to provide a detailed analysis of the traction transformer market based on rolling stock, mounting position, overhead line voltage, and geography. The report provides detailed information regarding the major factors influencing the growth of the traction transformer market. The report also gives a detailed overview of the value chain of the traction transformer market and analyzes the market trends on the basis of the Porter's five forces analysis.

The traction transformer market for electric locomotives is expected to hold a large share of the overall market and is also expected to grow at the highest rate between 2016 and 2022. The growth of the market is driven by the rising population, growing demand for rail transportation, and increasing preference for moving goods by rail over road transportation.

The traction transformer market for underframe mounting is expected to lead the overall market in 2016 because of the increased space for passenger capacity and improved comfort level of passengers. The market for machine room mounting is expected to grow at a high rate between 2016 and 2022. Machine room mounting plays an integral role for providing maximum flexibility and reliability in single and multiphase rail systems.

Traction transformer market for AC overhead line is expected to hold the largest share of the overall market and expected to grow at the highest rate between 2016 and 2022. The majority of electric traction systems are equipped with AC overhead lines because of the advantage of low power losses over longer distance travel.

APAC is expected to hold the largest share of the traction transformer market during the forecast period. Countries such as China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and Australia are majorly driving the growth of the traction transformer market in Asia-Pacific. These countries are increasing the number of trains for reliable transportation. Further, the increasing investment in high-speed rail network, development of new lines, and expansion of existing rail networks are driving the demand for traction transformers in APAC.

North America is expected to be the fastest-growing market for traction transformers between 2016 and 2022. The major driving factors for the growth of the market in North America include rapid industrialization and modernization, government funding and support in the U.S. for the development and implementation of high-speed trains and metros in the country, and improvement in rail infrastructure.

The key restraining factors for the growth of the traction transformer market include the high cost incurred for the electrification of rail network and the dominance of diesel-powered rail engines in certain countries such as the U.K., Taiwan, Mexico, and Brazil, among others.

The key market players such as ABB Ltd. (Switzerland) and Alstom SA (France) are focusing on strategies such as contracts and new product launches to provide the best possible services to their customers and expand their business globally.
