Latest data from the General Administration of Customs shows that the total value of China’s transformer exports exceeded600多亿元, surging by nearly36% year-on-year. Even more striking is that the average unit price of exported transformers has surged1/3, indicating a typical state of global scramble for goods, and orders at leading factories have already been scheduled through 2027至2028年

Why exporting transformers can make big money now

AI data centers have become power-hungry beasts
Large-model training consumes astonishing amounts of electricity, and intelligent computing centers are in urgent need of power“hearts”—transformers.Power grids in Europe and the US are severely agingMore than70% of transformers in Europe and the US have been in service for over 25 years. The local supply-demand gap has reached 30%,

Explosive growth in new energy power generation
The grid connection of clean energy sources such as overseas wind power and photovoltaics requires a large number of new-type transformers

China’s transformer production capacity accounts for60% of the global total, and delivery can usually be completed in2个月就能交付, with prices40%-60% lower than those in Europe and the US.

Where is the “core profit point” of transformer exports in foreign trade?

As a foreign trader, it is enough to focus mainly on small and medium-sized transformers and civilian power distribution applications

Small and medium-sized (high-frequency shipments): dry-type transformers and box-type substations for overseas industrial parks, office buildings, and AI data centers.

Low threshold, large volume: electronic transformers, portable/outdoor energy storage supporting transformers,

At present, engaging in transformer foreign trade is an excellent trend, and the market dividend is likely to continue for at least 3-5 年. If you have reliable factory supply resources in hand, it is recommended to seize the opportunity and enter the market immediately!
