Industrial Motors Market Analysis

The Industrial Motors Market is expected to register a CAGR of 2.62% over the forecast period. Industrial motors have numerous applications in oil and gas, power generation, mining and metal, water and wastewater management, and manufacturing industries. AC motors are known for being able to cope with and deliver high speeds, making them suitable for various demanding industry applications.

  • Motors are the significant driving force of industrial production. The new and advanced approaches for designing and developing industrial motors include factors like alignment, motor monitoring, connections, testing, and saving costs and time while improving safety and security. Energy-saving motors and intelligent drives also boost efficiency and performance while facilitating troubleshooting.
  • The growing focus on industry 4.0 primarily drives the market for industrial motors. Industrial automation drives the manufacturing sector toward more productivity in several regions, expecting to show strong demand. According to Industrial Energy Accelerator, nearly 70% of all electrical energy consumed by several industries is used by the millions of electrical motors installed globally. Motors are critical to almost every industry and responsible for driving core industrial processes and auxiliary systems such as compressed air generation, ventilation, and water pumping.
  • AC motors are generally more reliable with low maintenance requirements, and the bearing life frequently limits the service life of AC motors. Since the motors do not need commutators, brushes, or slip rings, they don't have parts that wear out regularly. This factor makes the motors ideal for applications that are not easily accessible, continuously available to operate, or will work without supervision for long periods.
  • The motors' size depends on the voltage and electric supply at the site of applications. Therefore, the weight and size are needed to be maintained. The critical trend in the market is the development of high power-to-weight ratio industrial motors. Several manufacturers are developing electric motors with a high power-to-weight ratio, as large electric motors have portability and high energy consumption issues.
  • COVID-19 has negatively impacted market growth due to stoppage in discrete manufacturing industry operations. For instance, according to the Monthly Survey of Manufacturing by the Government of Canada, manufacturing sales fell 2.1% to USD 57.1 billion recently on lower sales in 11 of 21 industries. Technological advancement is a crucial trend gaining popularity in the industrial motors market post-pandemic. While industrial motors have been in use for many years, there is still room for improvement in technology and energy efficiency.

Industrial Motors Industry Segments

An industrial motor is an electric motor that converts electricity into mechanical energy. These motors produce rotary or linear forces and are typically powered by alternating current (AC) resources such as power grids or generators. However, some may be supplied by direct current (DC) resources like batteries.

The Industrial Motors Market is segmented by Type of Motor (Alternating Current (AC) Motors, Direct Current (DC) Motors), by Voltage (High Voltage, Medium Voltage, Low Voltage), by End-User (Oil and Gas, Power Generation, Mining and Metals, Water and Wastewater Management, Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Discrete Manufacturing), and by Geography (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East and Africa).

Industrial Motors Market Trends

Low Voltage to Hold Significant Market Share

  • The industry standards for low-voltage motors vary broadly. Several manufacturers have different motor classifications that are considered low-voltage motors. According to the IEC 600038 standard (International Electro-technical Commission’s), any motor with a rating up to 1000 volts is regarded as a low voltage (LV).
  • Compared to other motors in the market, low-voltage motors have a wide range of applications across multiple industries. Some of the primary applications of low-voltage motors are in the mid-stream and downstream oil and gas, water, wastewater, food, and beverage industries, etc.
  • Recently, the EU (European Commission) Ecodesign Regulation addressed this for low-voltage motors by enforcing and establishing (IE) International Efficiency classes defined by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). It set IE3 as the minimum standard and IE5 as a unique ultra-premium rating, including motors with variable-speed drives.
  • Additionally, over the forecast period, rising oil prices are expected to create a strong rebound in demand for LV motors from the oil and gas industry. The companies are now taking up several large projects previously delayed due to higher operational costs and pending equipment purchases.
  • To expand the product offering into international markets, General Electric sold its mid, low-voltage motor business, known as SIM, to Wolong Electric. The Wolong industry signed a 10-year trademark license agreement with General Electric to sell Mexico-manufactured products, Monterrey, under General Electric (GE) Industrial Motors, a Wolong business, to the United States.

Asia-Pacific to Witness Significant Growth

  • Manufacturing is one of the pillars of the Chinese economy and is undergoing a rapid transformation. This large-scale transformation has put the country in a leading position in the market. The government has evolved in its capabilities, from producing low-cost goods to creating more advanced products, over the last two decades.
  • The adoption of industrial motors in the country is also expected to be driven by smart manufacturing initiatives. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Chinese government initiated several smart manufacturing pilot projects. As per the 13th five-year plan of Smart Manufacturing, the country also aims to establish its intelligent manufacturing system and complete the critical industry transformation by 2025. Automakers have been expanding their manufacturing facilities in China, expecting to drive the demand for industrial motors during the forecast period.
  • The government of India, in October 2022, announced that it has put up 42 oil and gas blocks for exploration and development through international competitive bidding. India will more than double the area under investigation and production of oil and gas to 0.5 million square kilometers by 2025 and 1mn sq. km. by 2030, intending to raise domestic output and cut reliance on imported fuel, thus driving the demand for industrial motors in the oil and gas industry.
  • According to BP, oil production in India recently amounted to 746 thousand barrels daily. The market expects to witness demand for industrial motors. Industrial motors play a vital role in the upstream of the oil and gas industry and are widely used to drive equipment such as pump and compressor systems. Industrial motors are the most significant individual source of energy use, accounting for 45% of the world’s electricity consumption. Over half of this energy demand originates from motors used in pumps and compressors.
