Europe Induction Motor Market Size

Europe Induction Motor Market Analysis

The Europe Induction Motor Market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period 2022 to 2027. Induction Motors are under evaluation as alternative solutions for mass production in automotive applications, as the motors show good performance based on low-cost materials and eliminate the supply risks associated with critical rare earth materials. Since induction motors typically work for many hours and have relatively long lifetimes, the greatest share of its environmental impact is in the use phase. Hence, reducing motors' energy consumption by increasing their efficiency reduces its environmental effects and operational costs.

• According to the European Commission analysis, it has been estimated that the induction motor efficiency requirements (defined by the new Regulation) would lead to a limitation of annual electric energy consumption by approximately 10TWh and a decrease of yearly greenhouse gases emission by 3 Mt equivalent of carbon dioxide to the year 2030. The AC induction motor is the dominant motor technology today, representing more than 90% of installed motor capacity. They are available in single-phase and polyphase (three-phase) configurations, in sizes ranging from less than one to more than ten thousand horsepower (hp).
• Electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to boost the market's growth over the forecast period. The intensifying focus aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the demand for products that consume less energy are the major factors for market growth. For instance, the projected electric vehicle sales in Europe by 2025 are expected to reach 6.33 million units, followed by China with 4.84 million units, according to UBS. Machines driven by electrical motors consume around 2/3 of all the electrical energy used in industry, which also greatly impacts the environment.
• For example, approximately 50% of electric energy produced in Poland is consumed by driving systems with induction motors. In Europe, the division of induction motors from the efficiency perspective is performed employing IE classification (International Efficiency). The European Commission Regulation introduces several changes and challenges for induction motor manufacturers and the users. The increasing manufacturing activities, mainly in European Countries like Germany, contribute to the growth of the induction motors market in the region.
• The COVID-19 outbreak in European countries has affected the automobile industry in the region. Industrial manufacturing companies are grappling with the immediate effect of the pandemic, as both the supply chain operations and manufacturing units were disrupted, and the customers' operations faced similar threats. This exponentially affected the whole supply and distribution network, hitting industrial equipment companies with a lag. This will act as a significant challenge for the European market for a considerable period.
