Technological developments in the transmission sector has increased over the period has resulted growth in this market. Moreover, use of ANSI/IEEE Standard, so the composition and design are very effective in high voltage transmission and grid distribution which is driving factor for global market. The main concern in oil-impregnated paper (OIP) bushing is the risk of fire and moisture in enviroment which can be major concern. Non-standardized dimensional requirements in terms of ease of maintenance and strategic spare requirements is major restrain in electrical bushing market.

In most of the countries with the increase in focus of electricity generation the power sector to remain prominent during the forecast period. Asia-pacific region held the highest market share and expect to dominate the market during the forecast period 2018-2023. Expansion of rail projects in China has gain boost in economic growth in transformer bushing market. Asian countries are also gaining momentum in electricity infrastructure has resulted growth in electrical bushing market.

Electrical bushings are insulated devices which allow electric conductor to pass safely through grounded conductor barrier such as transformer or circuit breaker. Electrical bushings are mostly made of porcelain, Paper and resin insulation. These bushes maily reduces the stress in the electric field thus producing no harm to the electric insulator. Bushes are capable to withstand high voltage which is created when it passes through ground i.e electric field . Basically bushing are divided on the basis of voltage, for the voltage which are upto 100kv low voltage bushing i.e porcelain bushings are used and voltage upto 800kv high voltage bushings i.e condenser bushings are capable to protect the high voltage extention lines from current leakage and eletrical spark.

To strengthen the power supply in urban and growing in rural areas, Indian transformer bushing market is anticipated to gain healthy growth due to support by government in electric infrastructure.  In Latin America, Brazil is foremost electricity market and in the coming years electric power sector is expected to receive significant investments during the forecast period. Europe and North America region are likely to trigger the demand for transformer bushings as increase in renewable energy projects.
