Motor & Generator Manufacturing

Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:

Companies in this industry manufacture electric motors, power generators, and motor generator sets. Major US companies include AMETEK, Franklin Electric, and Regal Rexnord, as well as divisions of Emerson Electric and GE Motors; major companies based outside the US include ABB (Switzerland), Nidec (Japan), Panasonic (Japan), and Siemens (Germany).

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Industrial and manufacturing companies drive demand. The profitability of individual companies depends on efficient production. Small companies can compete by specializing. While larger companies, like GE, produce mainly a standard line of products, smaller companies are more likely to adapt products for customers' special needs. The US industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for about 90% of revenue.

PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY

The largest product categories of motor and generator manufacturing companies include integral horsepower motors and prime mover generators, which both account for a combined 40% of industry revenue. This is followed by land transportation motors at more than 10%.
