Chile transformer market experienced significant growth, driven by rising power demand, renewable energy integration, and ongoing grid modernization. The energy-intensive mining sector, a cornerstone of the economy contributed to national GDP in 2022, required large amounts of electricity for the extraction, processing, and refining of copper and lithium. Expanding production, such lithium in 2023, further necessitated medium- and high-voltage transformers to step down transmission voltages for mine operations, process plants, and associated infrastructure.
Meanwhile, major infrastructure projects, such as Santiago’s metro network, have undergone a significant expansion of new line with several stations, creating demand for dedicated traction substations and station transformers. Furthermore, Chile's commitment to its energy transition was underscored by the addition of renewable capacity annually (between 2022 and 2025), creating demand for specialized transformers for grid integration and stability.
According to 6Wresearch, Chile Transformer Market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 6.9% in revenue and 6.7% in volume from 2025 to 2031. The Chile transformer market is poised for significant growth, driven by the country’s increasing integration of renewable energy into its national power grid. Chile’s strategic investments in energy and industrial infrastructure further support this growth. For instance, the Planificación Energética de Largo Plazo (PELP) 2023–2027 outlines a roadmap to expand renewable capacity, modernize the grid, and strengthen transmission networks, with full implementation targeted by 2050.
Additionally, between 2023 and 2032, Chile plans to invest in some mining projects, including copper, requiring extensive electrical infrastructure and creating strong demand for medium- and high-voltage transformers to support mining operations and industrial facilities. Moreover, ongoing renewable energy projects, such as the Oasis de Atacama and H2 Magallanes along with new transmission line projects such as the Nueva Chuquicamata–Miraje D/C line and Tiquel–Las Delicias D/C line, are expected to further accelerate demand for advanced transformers, positioning the market for robust growth.
Distribution transformers in Chile are projected to record the fastest growth, supported by renewable expansion, rapid urbanization, grid modernization, and rising electricity demand. Growing residential and commercial connections, coupled with industrial power needs, position distribution transformers as critical enablers of efficient and reliable energy delivery.
The up-to-5 MVA power transformer segment in Chile is projected to grow the fastest, driven by decentralized solar and wind projects, rising distribution network investments, urban electrification, and industrial expansion. These medium-capacity units are critical for efficient energy transfer and grid reliability. In Chile, 100.1–315 kVA distribution transformers are expected to see the fastest growth, supported by rapid urbanization, expansion of residential and commercial infrastructure, and government electrification initiatives. This segment is well-suited for powering buildings and utilities, making it central to urban and grid modernization.
In Chile transformer market, oil-immersed transformers are expected to lead growth, driven by their reliability, high load-handling capacity, and suitability for harsh conditions. Expanding renewable projects, mining demand, and grid modernization reinforce their position as the preferred choice for distribution and transmission.
In the coming years, 3-phase transformers are set to grow fastest in Chile due to rising renewable energy integration and nationwide grid modernization projects. Their efficiency and capacity make them essential for utility-scale and industrial applications.
The Chilean power utility segment is set to lead transformer market growth, driven by infrastructure replacement, rising demand, government electrification programs, grid modernization, and renewable integration.
