"Electric motor manufacturers must look toward research and development to improve product efficiency and identify replacement opportunities in existing low-efficiency installations," said Frost & Sullivan Mechanical Power Transmission Research Analyst Krishna Raman. "Developing electric motors for emerging automobile applications such as electrical powered steering (EPS) and anti-locking brake systems (ABS) will act as a differentiating factor."
End-user market trends driving growth in the global electric motor market include:
- Increased sales in industries such as water and wastewater, automobiles, home appliances, renewable energy, HVAC, and discrete manufacturing;
- Incentivizing electric vehicles (EVs) and electrification of car controls that will drive demand for electric motors in EVs and hybrid EVs;
- Demand for permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor technologies in EVs, HVAC, industrial robots, and in constant speed applications such as fans and blowers;
- Investment in discrete manufacturing sectors such as packaging, plastics, automotive, and unit material handling that creates opportunities for servo and stepper motors;
- Adoption of electronically commutated (EC) motor in HVAC, home appliances, medical devices and business equipment due to demand for noiseless motors;
- Investment by renewable energy sector in servo motors for solar tracking and pitch control of wind turbines; and
- Surge in petrochemical and chemical end-user investment in North America and Asia.
"The cost of electricity is increasing due to the growing share of renewable energy, which is expensive compared to traditional electricity sources," noted Raman. "End users are adopting energy-efficient, brushless, synchronous motor technology to conserve energy, reduce maintenance costs, and increase the efficiency of the overall drive system."
