EU Transformer Exports Reach $4.2 Billion in 2025, Europe Leads High-Voltage Technology
In 2025, EU exports across key transformer categories reached approximately $4.2 billion USD, according to Eurostat data cited by Hitachi Energy. Large power transformers accounted for nearly half of that total, making Europe one of the world's leading exporters in this segment .
Europe's grid-technology base comprises more than 600 companies, 450 factories, and over 175,000 employees forming a highly specialized industrial ecosystem across transmission and distribution technologies, including transformers .
While China has become the largest transformer manufacturing base globally, Europe occupies a different position in the value chain—leading in high-voltage, HVDC, offshore, and high-efficiency transformer technologies, underpinned by advanced engineering standards, strong innovation capabilities, and a highly skilled workforce .
