Global Motors and Drives Market in Discrete Industries 2016-2020

Overview of the global motors and drives market in discrete industries

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global motors and drives market in discrete industries to grow at a CAGR of more than 9% by 2020. The rising production costs and demand for high-quality products at low prices have propelled manufacturers across various discrete industries to design automation solutions that boost productivity in plant operations. This has compelled them to implement highly efficient power transmission motor technologies. Additionally, several manufacturers are highly concerned about the motor efficiency benchmarks imposed by the US government regarding carbon emission and fuel efficiency. Many industries are replacing old electric motors with certified motors of higher operating efficiency because of these new regulations, which will boost the market for low-voltage multi-phase motors of power rating 0.75-375 kW during the forecast period.

According to the industry research report, this market is witnessing huge demand for customized motors. These motors provide special mechanical properties and systems solutions to end-users and have higher efficiency than standard motors. End-users demand custom-made motors for their tasks as a standard electric motor is insufficient in conjunction with a robust application. They are opting for more customized solutions as per their specific requirements. These motors are sophisticated in operations and have enhanced the market opportunities for low voltage motor and drives manufacturers.

Segmentation by type and analysis of the motors and drives market in discrete industries

• Motors
• Drivers

During 2015, the motors segment dominated the motors and drives market in discrete industries and accounted for around 61% of the total market share. The majority of the segment’s revenue comes from the low voltage motors due to their increased applications in most of the discrete industries, such as HVAC, automobile, semiconductors, electronics, and mining. Recent fuel-related legislations in Europe and the Americas has prompted OEMs and end-users to use highly efficient motors, which has boosted the revenue for low-voltage motors manufacturers.
