Do you worry that increased energy demands from AI data centers will raise your electricity bill?
Transmart Industrial Limited has expanded its operations and customer base into the North American market. The company, which already serves over 50 countries, aims to meet increasing power density needs for infrastructure.
Why it matters
The expansion follows a trend toward higher switching frequencies in power electronics, driven by the energy demands of AI data centers. It responds to U.S. electricity consumption projections that estimate growth of 1 percent in 2026 and 3 percent in 2027.
Transmart's nanocrystalline cut cores achieve losses of 0.4 W/kg at 20 kHz and 50 mT, using ribbons measured at 12 to 14 micrometers. These specs support silicon steel materials ranging from 0.05 mm to 0.35 mm in thickness.
The players
Transmart Industrial Limited
A manufacturer of magnetic materials and transformer cores that maintains ISO and IATF quality certifications.
The details
The firm operates production lines featuring precision slitting, automatic winding, vacuum annealing—a process of heating materials to relieve internal stress—and multi-wire cutting. These methods enable the manufacturing of magnetic components designed for high-density power systems. The company also offers OEM customization and material formulation development for specific power architecture needs.
Timeline
2000: Start of the last four-year U.S. electricity demand streak.
2007: Last period of four consecutive years of electricity demand growth.
January 2026: EIA published its Short-Term Energy Outlook report.
September 30, 2026: Transmart announced its North American expansion.
2027: Projected 3 percent growth in U.S. electricity consumption.
The Tech Race
The expansion aligns with the EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook 2026. This move follows the agency's projection that U.S. electricity demand will accelerate through 2027 due to grid-intensive industrial loads.
North American developers building power electronics for data centers will gain access to custom core formulations and OEM design services. The company is also monitoring advancements in solid-state transformer technology, which may eventually dictate future hardware specifications.
The takeaway
As AI workloads force data centers to scale, the industry is shifting toward more efficient magnetic materials to manage higher power densities. Developers should monitor Transmart's upcoming reports on solid-state transformer integration for benchmarks on core loss performance.
