Motor Monitoring Market Size

Motor Monitoring Market Analysis

The Motor Monitoring Market size is estimated at USD 2.67 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 4.40 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 10.46% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

All rotating machines experience vibration. Motors have different faults that vibration screening can identify. The adoption of condition monitoring with wireless IoT sensors and cloud-based software empowers industry professionals to get ahead of equipment problems and avoid downtime by accessing current, vibration, and temperature data from anywhere in a plant at any given time. This follows an ongoing trend driving the growth of the market.

• Growing awareness of predictive maintenance and augmenting it with analytics drive the market. The importance of electric motor monitoring is connected to the damages deriving from the failure of even a single motor. It has been estimated that for each downtime hour, the cost of the missed production is around EUR 1000 in the pasta production sector. Further implementing predictive maintenance and training the internal maintenance staff to make them autonomous in the shortest possible time is one of the low-cost solutions.
• Rule-based predictive maintenance relies on sensors to continuously collect data about assets and sends alerts according to predefined rules, including when a specified threshold has been reached. With rule-based analytics, product teams work alongside engineering and customer service departments to establish causes or contributing factors to their motor failing. Hence these industrial IoT technologies drive the market.
• The growing adoption of wireless systems for motor monitoring drives the market. Electrical motors and drives consume about 45% of the power generation. However, if the electrical machines are not maintained properly, it consumes about 5% to 10 % of excess power, which affects productivity and revenue. Wireless monitoring of the motor is capable of capturing the machine parameters more accurately with automatic detection of abnormal conditions and reporting to the server within a few microseconds. The advantage of wireless technology is that it is very reliable and operates even at very slow network speeds,and handles multiple devices at once. The designed system is easy to install and scale up to large industrial setups as it does not involve a complex mechanism and uses a lightweight MQTT protocol.
• However, lacking customization with the high initial investment restraints the growth of the market. Due to the integration of new technologies, industrial systems are becoming more complex. At the same time, it makes maintenance and monitoring activities more expensive and complicated to get reliable data on time. The more sensors are wareintegrated into the system, the more data will be generated that should be handled. But processing this growing number of data through database technologies will be challenging. This problem is directly related to the concept of Big Data. There has also been an impact of the Russia-Ukraine war on the overall packaging ecosystem.
• However, the COVID-19 pandemic affected production in manufacturing plants such as the automotive, mining sector, etc. But the digital transformation is offering significant features to manufacturers, such as real-time visibility into the equipment which have deployed the cloud solution and provides them with the ability to analyze the condition of their motor. Further software solutions equipped by the manufacturing plant can also be monitored by their central system.
• Moreover, COVID-19 forced quicker adoption of a new predictive maintenance service model on motor-driven systems as there is a restriction in traveling to perform asset health analysis. Various service providers performed an analysis through these critical portable monitoring devices, such as Fluke's 810 Vibration Tester or Megger's Baker EXP4000. Smart sensors are a readily available tool providing a remote view into client assets, which in turn eliminates the immediate need to travel to a facility. Remote monitoring and diagnosis will be a key acceptance and further help to drive the market in this situation.
