Global Electrical Bushings Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (Outlook to 2028)

Global Electrical Bushings Market Growth is driven by Factors like the growth of the energy transmission and distribution network and growing power demand. Furthermore, rising renewable energy penetration and an increasing emphasis on R&D in electrical utilities will have a beneficial impact on the industry.

Rising expenditures in the maintenance and renovation of existing power grid infrastructure and regulatory initiatives aimed at energy optimization will drive the expansion of the electrical bushing industry.

Electrical bushings are critical components in various electrical equipment, including power transformers that fulfill the crucial role of transporting high-voltage current into equipment casings. They serve this purpose by acting as an insulator between the live conductor and the electrical equipment's metallic (conducting) body (which is at ground potential).

Electrical bushings in transformers transport high-voltage current through equipment enclosures while also acting as an insulator between the live conductor and the electrical apparatus's metallic (conducting) body. They aid in lowering the risk of fire, and in the case of a severe transformer breakdown, this seals the transformer.

Bushings were hollow porcelains filled with transformer oil or solid resin that encased the conductor. Such basic bulk and solid type bushings are still used at medium voltages. However, as networks got more complex, the necessity to effectively spread the electric field created over a bushing – particularly at high voltages – became apparent.

This led to the creation of capacitance-graded designs. The fundamental idea was to spread the natural field between the conductor and the earthed flange by using intermediary conductive layers both radially (to decrease the field at the conductor and make better use of the insulation material) and axially (to allow for higher flashover voltage values for a given arcing distance).

Air-to-oil (used in outdoor air-insulated substation (AIS) equipment like transformers and shunt reactors), air-to-gas (used in gas-insulated substations (GIS) and SF6 circuit breakers), and air-to-air are the most prevalent uses for bushings (used for outdoor to indoor connections, e.g., wall bushings)

Key Opportunities

• In recent years, there has been a growth in the usage of HVDC-based transmission and an increase in UHV AC voltage levels. Simultaneously, environmental demands for the development of oil-free, low or SF6-free high voltage substations are opening new prospects for the sector.
• There is an increase in power grid infrastructure internationally, offering electric bushing manufacturers and suppliers an opportunity.
• As the transformers industry expands, the electrical bushings market expands, as it is ancillary to the transformers business.

The market is divided into R.I.P (Resin Impregnated Paper), O.I.P (Oil Impregnated Paper), Hybrid, SF6 Insulated, based on technology.
