Up to 0.5 MVA segment, by Power Rating, to be the third-largest market segment.

The 0.5 MVA segment captures a significant market share within the power rating segment of the distribution transformer market for several compelling reasons. 0.5 MVA transformers occupy a sweet spot, offering a balance between capacity and affordability. They are suitable for a diverse range of applications, including supplying power to mid-sized commercial buildings like office complexes, shopping centers, or hotels, catering to multi-unit residential buildings like apartment complexes or condominiums, providing power to small industrial facilities with moderate power requirements. This versatility allows them to address the needs of various end users, contributing to their significant market share. Compared to higher-capacity transformers (above 10 MVA), 0.5 MVA models are more economical. For applications where the power demand doesn't necessitate a high-capacity transformer, a 0.5 MVA model offers a cost-effective solution while delivering sufficient power for the needs. This economic advantage makes them an attractive choice for many end users. The 0.5 MVA rating represents a well-established standard within the distribution transformer market.  Manufacturers often produce a wider range of models within this segment compared to higher or lower ratings. This standardization and readily available options make them a convenient choice for many utilities and end users.
