Measures to reduce carbon emissions and advance industrialization

Energy-efficient motors play a critical role in accomplishing these objectives by lowering the energy consumption and carbon footprint of industrial operations. A crucial component in making the energy transition, which entails moving away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources, is the usage of energy-efficient motors. The increasing industrialization and decarbonization programs have established an advantageous market for energy-efficient motors. As more sectors embrace energy-efficient practices and the push toward decarbonization intensifies, the market is anticipated to expand.

Market Restraining Factors

The high production and net cost of energy-efficient motors

To assure their efficacy, energy-efficient motors typically require additional certification and testing, higher-quality components, more sophisticated production techniques, and more testing. This can result in increased production costs for manufacturers and a higher price for the end user. Generally, energy-efficient motors are more expensive than conventional motors. In addition, there is a possibility that some buyers are not aware of the benefits of energy-efficient motors, and as a result, they are unwilling to pay higher prices for a technology that they do not fully understand. Thus, the price of energy-efficient motors, particularly the IE4, will restrict the market growth.

This is due to the fact that these electric motors are utilized in various industrial, marine, and wind applications. For instance, fans and HVAC, pumps, shredders, and gears hydraulics, are common uses. Moreover, their energy efficiency and the increasing trend of low energy consumption further fuel their usage in various end-use industries, propelling the segment’s growth in the forecasted period.

Efficiency Level Outlook

By efficiency level, the market is classified into IE1, IE2, IE3, IE4 and IE5. The IE2 segment garnered a prominent revenue share in the market in 2022. This is due to the range of capacity for IE2 motors which is between 0.75kW and 355kW. It is an ideal replacement for Y and Y2 series motors in chemical, mining, and other relatively harsh environments where fans, pumps, machine tools, compressors, transportation machinery, etc., operate various general mechanical equipment. Two, four, or six poles are present in IE2 motors.

Application Outlook

Based on the application, the market is bifurcated into HVAC, pumps, fans, compressors, refrigeration, material handling and material processing. The HVAC & pumps segment held the highest revenue share in the market in 2022. This is due to the fact that HVAC is utilized in a variety of technologies to regulate the temperature, humidity, and cleanliness of the air within an enclosed space. Using this technology, residential and commercial buildings are heated and chilled. Various structures, from single-family homes to submarines, contain HVAC systems that provide environmental comfort.

End User Outlook

On the basis of end user, the market is segmented into residential, commercial, industrial, automotive, agriculture and aerospace & defense. The industrial segment led the market by generating the maximum revenue share in 2022. This is attributed to the fact that energy efficient motors are widely used for industrial applications; as industries become more automated, the demand increases; energy efficient motors enable industries to save on electricity consumed; and the government's focus on the industrial sector to reduce power consumption will contribute to the growth of the segment.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The Asia Pacific region generated the highest revenue share in the market in 2022.
