Commonly used industrial motors include AC motors, DC motors, servo motors and stepper motors. The global industrial motors market witnesses high demand due to rapid industrialization around the world. Industrial motors power various applications in industries and the need for energy-efficient motors with enhanced performance attributes is continuously growing.
The global Industrial Motors Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 3551.42 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.5% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the industrial motors market is the increasing focus on energy-efficient and premium-efficient industrial motors. Strict regulations pertaining to energy conservation are propelling manufacturers to develop motors with greater efficiency. For instance, the U.S. Department of Energy issued the “Energy Conservation Program for Certain Commercial and Industrial Equipment: Energy Conservation Standards for Electric Motors” which set minimum nominal full load efficiency levels. Industrial entities focus on adopting energy-efficient motors to reduce operating costs. Furthermore, the adoption of IoT and predictive maintenance is gaining traction in the industrial motors market. IoT-enabled motors facilitate remote monitoring of vital parameters to track the asset health and predict maintenance needs in advance. This helps optimize maintenance cycles and reduces downtime. Predictive maintenance enables condition-based monitoring and prevents unexpected equipment failures.
Porter’s Analysis
