The Global Market for Electric Motors is Projected to Reach US$121 Billion by 2020
Strong
Demand for Electric Vehicles Spurs Demand for Electric Motors, According to a New
Report by Global
Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA announces the
release of a comprehensive global report on Electric Motors. The
global market for Electric
Motors is projected to reach US$121 billion by 2020, driven by the
growing global activity in the electric vehicle industry.
The global
electric motors market is expected to witness growth supported by the increase
in automobile production and increase in the number of motors per car. Automotive
motors are used in vehicle powertrain systems, chassis, and in
internal/external comfort and safety fittings. The growing popularity of
vehicle features such as motorized seats, doors, sun-roof systems, wipers, massage
seats and adjustable mirrors, are helping drive demand for electric motors,
especially brushless direct current (BLDC) motors. The ongoing replacement of solenoid
valves with motorized variants will additionally spur opportunities for demand
growth. Rising environmental concerns and volatile oil prices are helping accelerate
the transition towards electric vehicles. The scenario is forecast to encourage
demand for large-sized electric motors with higher torque and power.
Developments in motor performance and decline in prices are enabling asynchronous
motors to emerge as the most popular electric motors for use in electric
military vehicles, large buses, mobile cranes and forklifts.
Fractional horsepower (FHP) motors are widely used in all household
appliances ranging from refrigerators, vacuum cleaners to coffee machines. In
the industrial environment, heavy equipment is driven by integral horse power
(IHP) electric motors. The
growing trend towards replacing gas turbines with electric motors in large
industrial plants bodes well for the electric motors market. Key factors
driving the trend include the need to reduce maintenance costs while
simultaneously improve plant process reliability, and reduce plant air
emissions. The replacement opportunity is large in the oil and gas end-use
sector where pumping and compressing applications are widespread. Typically
these applications use compressors and pumps, which are driven by turbines,
which generate nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Tightening of environmental
regulations, which cap (NOx) emissions and mandate NOx reductions in plants are
exerting significant compliance pressure on plant operators. The scenario is
benefitting sales of electric motors, given their zero NOx emissions, higher
efficiency over 17% in comparison with gas turbines, higher operating speeds,
easy installation, and lower noise and vibration.
As stated by the new market research report on Electric Motors, Asia-Pacific represents the largest as well as the fastest growing
market worldwide with a projected CAGR of 8.3% over the analysis period. Growth in
the region is led by strong economic growth, rapid industrialization, expansion
of manufacturing bases, and the growing emphasis on energy efficiency.
