China’s State Grid Sees Surging Demand for Amorphous Transformers in 2025 Procurement

Recently, the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) announced the results of its 2025 Northwest and Tibet Regional Second Joint Procurement for 10kV transformer projects, revealing a total demand for 4,379 transformer units. Among them, 3,008 units are amorphous alloy transformers, accounting for 68.7% of the total. According to data from the Amorphous China Big Data Center, the demand for amorphous alloy transformers has shown an explosive increase compared with the first batch of tenders this year — registering a month-on-month growth of 361.3%. Just recently, the 2025 Central China and Sichuan–Chongqing Regional Second Joint Procurement tender for 10kV transformer inventory was also announced, covering 41 packages and a total of 14,511 amorphous alloy transformers, representing about 55.3% of the total quantity. Throughout 2025, tender data across multiple grid regions indicate that amorphous alloy transformers have become a key choice for enhancing energy efficiency and reducing power losses in distribution networks. According to Amorphous China’s analysis, both State Grid and China Southern Power Grid have significantly increased their use of amorphous alloy transformers. From January to September, amorphous alloy units accounted for over 50% of State Grid’s procurements, while China Southern Power Grid also showed substantial growth compared with previous years. Industry experts emphasize that “good materials create good quality”—a principle driving the rapid advancement of amorphous transformer technology. The State Grid’s recognition of amorphous alloy transformers is largely due to the strong progress of China’s iron-based amorphous alloy materials industry, which has maintained the world’s highest production volume and achieved internationally advanced quality standards. Leading companies such as Yunlu Co., Ltd. ， JH Amorphous continue to drive innovation in the field, with ongoing breakthroughs in composition optimization and magnetic domain control, further expanding their influence and setting new benchmarks for the industry’s development.
