Global Industrial Motor Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

Global Industrial Motor Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029

The global industrial motors market is projected to grow from US$29.421 billion in 2024 to US$36.274 billion in 2029 at a CAGR of 4.28%.

Motors are the engines that propel industrial output forward, providing time and cost-utility. New techniques for motor monitoring, alignment, testing, and connections also improve safety. The ongoing economic growth was followed by strategic maneuvers between major nations to bolster cross-country trade. This has propelled overall industrial productivity, positively impacting the demand for major machines such as motors in industrial applications.

Rapid industrialization, investment in new technological innovations, and expansion of manufacturing facilities in major sectors have propelled the demand for industrial motors. Moreover, implementing schemes and initiatives such as “Industry 4.0” further drives market expansion.

Global Industrial Motors Market Drivers:

Favorable efforts to bolster energy efficiency in industrial operations have propelled the market growth.

The increased focus on Industry 4.0 is anticipated to stimulate the demand for industrial motors during the forecast period. The rising focus of governments worldwide on energy efficiency and the consequent stringent regulations have led to increased adoption of energy-efficient industrial motors, which will propel the industrial motor market’s growth.

Industrial motors with higher efficiency can reduce carbon emissions. As awareness of low-energy-consuming motors has been increasing over the years, the preference for such motors, especially electric-based, is also anticipated to gain traction.

Additionally, the growing need to reduce greenhouse gas has led to the formulation of various agreements and regulations, such as the “Paris Agreement,” which aimed to reduce global warming to 1.5°C by 2050; reducing CO2 emissions by 80% will propel the energy-efficient motor industry forward. As knowledge about energy conservation grows, companies are choosing eco-friendly alternatives for their processes and technologies which has created a preference for motors that run sustainable options and shows less reliance on conventional fuel.
Bolstering growth of energy demand is anticipated to increase the market growth.

The demand for oil and gas has been increasing substantially worldwide, fuelled by growing end-user demand such as automotive, aerospace, and energy & power. According to the International Energy Agency, world oil demand will increase by 5.7 million barrels per day (mb/d) at a rate of 950 kb/d from 2020 to 2025.

Moreover, the energy demand is also witnessing significant growth fuelled by the growing population and industrialization, which is further anticipated to increase oil & gas demand since they form one of the major sources of energy generation. According to the India Energy Outlook, primary energy demand is expected to nearly double to 1,123 million tonnes of oil equivalent in India. By 2040, the gross domestic product (GDP) is predicted to reach USD 8.6 trillion
Growing emphasis on reducing carbon emissions has propelled the market expansion.

Growing industrial emissions have led to the development of new motor technologies, such as shifting from internal combustion motors to electric motors, which emit less CO2. According to the IEA, electric motor systems use 53% of all electrical energy, or 10,500 TWh per year, emitting nearly 6,800 Mt of carbon dioxide (CO2).

Growing emphasis on energy efficiency has stimulated the demand for motors with high functionality and low maintenance, which is estimated to show further growth in the future. U4E states, after assessments of 150 developing and emerging economies, that energy savings from motors in these countries could reach 300 TWh per annum in 2030, saving 200 Mt of CO2 emissions.

It also claims that switching to energy-efficient motor systems will reduce global electricity demand for motor systems by 20 to 30% by 2030. As per the U4E Policy Guide Series estimate, more than 72% of motors sold globally have efficiency levels higher than IE2, followed by IE3 at 29% and IE4 at 2%. The share of the mentioned higher efficiency motors is projected to grow further in the coming years, leading to a boost in the industrial motor market.

Global Industrial Motors Market Geographical Outlook

Asia Pacific is set to grow at a constant rate.

The Asia-Pacific industrial motor market is estimated to grow steadily and will constitute a considerable market share during the forecast period. The regional market has been segmented into China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, and others. Due to the rapidly increasing population and rapid industrialization in countries such as China, the demand for industrial motors to improve operational efficiency is expected to increase.

Other major economies, namely Japan and India, will hold notable market shares. This is attributable to bolstering growth in major industrial motor end-users such as automotive, food & beverage, railway, and construction. Indonesia and South Korea are projected to grow steadily, fueled by favorable investment to expand economic output. Furthermore, the presence of significant market competitors in the region will support growth over the anticipated period.
