Description

The South African high-voltage transformer market is established and dominated by a few major competitors. The demand side of the market is highly concentrated in the standardised transformer segment, but it is fragmented in the smaller, specialised segment. The market is set to change in 2015 with specification and product design playing a major role in the adjudication of tenders for the larger contracts in the market. Market entrants with significant manufacturing capacity and low-loss equipment will need to develop local support structures rapidly to take advantage of opportunities. The base year is 2011, and forecasts are provided to 2017.
