Deep Analysis of the Oil Immersed Transformer Market in Iraq

With the acceleration of post-war reconstruction in Iraq, the demand for power transformers in the Iraqi market has been increasing year by year. As the core equipment of the power system, power transformers play a crucial role in the construction and transmission of the Iraqi national power grid. This article analyzes the current situation, demand, competition, and future development of the Iraqi power transformer market by Olivia, the sales manager of Hengfengyou Electric.

 

 

1. Analysis of the Market Demand for Power Transformers in Iraq

 

According to market research data, the demand for power transformers in Iraq mainly comes from the construction of new power plants, urban power grid renovation, and industrial electricity demand. Among them, new power plants are the main driving force for market growth, as they require a large number of power step-up transformers. The urban power grid renovation mainly focuses on old residential areas and newly built residential buildings, and there is also a strong demand for updating and upgrading power transformers. The demand for industrial electricity mainly comes from industries such as petroleum, chemical, and steel, which have high quality requirements for power transformers and require high-quality power transformers. Olivia, Sales Manager of Hengfengyou Electric, said that due to the impact of the war, Iraq's economic development has lagged behind, and its purchasing power is generally low. Although there is a high demand for high-quality power transformers, price considerations are more important.

 

 

 

2. Analysis of Factors Influencing Iraqi Power Transformers

 

The demand for the Iraqi power transformer market is influenced by various factors, including political stability, economic development level, energy policies, and power transmission networks. Among them, political stability and economic development level are the most important factors. Political stability is the foundation of investment and construction, and the level of economic development determines the size of market demand. In addition, energy policies can also have a significant impact on the market, such as when the country implements policies to restrict energy exports, market demand may decrease.

 

 

 

3. Analysis of the Competition Pattern of Power Transformers in Iraq

 

The competition pattern in the Iraqi power transformer market is mainly composed of local enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises. Local enterprises include some well-known local transformer manufacturers, such as Iraq Transformer Company and Tabir Transformer Company. These enterprises have a certain level of technological strength and market share, but face fierce competition from foreign competitors. Foreign funded enterprises mainly include well-known multinational enterprises such as ABB and Siemens, which possess advanced technology and strong financial strength, occupying an important position in the Iraqi power transformer market. Through continuous innovation and technological progress, Chinese enterprises have already occupied a considerable market share in the Iraqi power transformer market. The 11kV series of oil immersed transformers produced by Hengfengyou Electric have been successfully sold to Middle Eastern markets such as Iraq and Kuwait in 2019, and have developed multiple agents in the local area. Currently, a total of 1638 power transformers have been produced and sold. At present, the main export capacities include 100kva, 150kva, 250kva, 500kva, 1000kva, 1500kva, etc. The current operation is good and the quality is reliable, proving the high reliability of Hengfengyou Transformer（ hfy@hengfengyou.com ）.
