Report Summary

The global electric motors market size was valued at USD 100.5 billion in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period. An electric motor is a machine used for conversion of electric power to mechanical energy. Electric motors can be powered by alternating (AC) current or direct current (DC). The basic components of electric motors include rotor, commutator, brushes, axle, field magnet, and a power supply. Some key features offered by AC motors include controlled acceleration, low power demand on start, adjustable operational speed, adjustable torque limit, and reduced power line disturbances among others. Advantages offered by DC motors include easy installation, linear speed-torque curve, quick starting, stopping, reversing and acceleration, and speed control over a wide range among others. Electric motors are used in wide applications such as industrial fans, household appliances, watches, blowers and pumps, disk drives, and machine tools among others.

The increasing applications of electric motors in industries such as agriculture and automotive, and global industrial growth are driving the overall market. Electric motors are used in various industries such as consumer goods, automotive, construction, healthcare, and agriculture among others, and growth in these industries worldwide is expected to supplement the growth of the market. Other factors driving the market include increasing demand for electric motor operated household appliances, growing use in HVAC applications, and government support for development of high efficiency electric motors. The increasing awareness regarding use of energy efficient motors and growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to support market growth during the forecast period. However, high maintenance costs, and stringent regulations hamper the growth of the market. Growing demand from emerging economies, and technological advancements are factors expected to provide numerous growth opportunities in the coming years.
