Electrical transformers

 opportunity Brief
  • The electrical transformer industry in Egypt is considered one of the essential industries supporting the country’s energy and infrastructure sector It plays a vital role in the transmission and distribution of electrical power, increasing or decreasing the electrical voltage to facilitate the transfer of energy from generating stations to consumers in most sectors, such as industry, commerce, and homes.
  • Electrical transformers are divided into 3 types according to the electrical voltage (low voltage transformers medium voltage transformers high voltage transformers).
Investment Opportunity Drivers Global Perspectives
  • Renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind energy, require specialized converters, opening up new horizons for the industry as the country seeks to expand its reliance on clean energy It also aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix to 42 by  2030 and to reach 60 by 2040.
  • The total amount of energy that can be generated annually in Egypt from all sources by 2023 is approximately 59 9 thousand
    megawatts, including new generation capacities amounting to 31 thousand megawatts during the past nine years alone This
    production includes energy from multiple sources, including oil, gas, solar energy, and wind energy.
  • Egypt seeks to become a regional hub for the manufacturing of electrical transformers, exporting them to African and Arab countries Through its major companies, it also aims to obtain major tenders for infrastructure projects in African and Arab countries, through  hich it will supply locally manufactured products such as electrical transformers This has already occurred in some projects, such as the Julius Nyerere Dam in Tanzania and several others in Iraq.
  • The state is working to modernize the old electrical transmission and distribution system, replacing old transformers
    with more efficient ones.
  • Some production inputs are available locally, while copper coils and copper wires are imported from abroad.
  • Global demand is growing at an average annual rate of approximately 18 from 2019 to 2023.
  • Availability of low and medium voltage manufacturers in Egypt, such as El Nasr Transformers Manufacturing Company,
    ABB Transformers, the Engineering Corporation for Electrical Industries Egytrafo and El Fateh Corporation.
  • The size of the electrical transformer market in Egypt is estimated at between 200 to 300 million annually.
  • The most important manufacturers of low voltage or medium voltage transformers in Egypt are Al Nasr Transformer Manufacturing Company ( ABB Transformers Company, Engineering Corporation for Electrical Industries ( and Al Fateh Electrical Corporation.
  • In addition to manufacturing electrical transformers from copper, the Engineering Company for Electrical Industries Egytrafo
    manufactures distribution transformers with aluminum coils instead of copper, due to the lower cost of aluminum compared to
    the cost of copper, which contributes to reducing the total cost of transformers.
  • The electrical transformers market in Egypt is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5 to 7 during the period 2024 2029
  • Suze Canal Economic zone (SC Zone).
  • Fayoum Industrial Zone.
