Mineral Oil Maintains Market Leadership

By fluid type, the mineral oil segment dominated the market with a 53.80% share in 2025. Its widespread use in power transformers, switchgear, capacitors, and other electrical equipment continues to support its leading position.

Mineral oil offers strong dielectric strength, effective heat dissipation, established performance, and cost advantages. These characteristics have made it a preferred fluid for utilities and industrial facilities worldwide.

However, the synthetic ester segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 7.06% from 2026 to 2035. Increasing environmental awareness, grid modernization, renewable energy investments, and demand for biodegradable insulation fluids are accelerating synthetic ester adoption.
