      Market Definition.

      An electric motor is a rotating electric machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Its major components include a stator, a rotor, bearings, windings, eye bolts, brushes, poles, and conduit boxes.

      • AC Motors: These are motors driven by an alternating current (AC). AC motors are mainly of two types—synchronous AC motors and induction motors. AC motors are required where there is a need for high speed and variable torque.
      • DC Motors: These are rotatory electric motors that convert direct current (DC) into mechanical energy. DC motors are also mainly of two types—brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors (BLDC).

      The electric motors market is defined as the sum of revenues generated by global companies from the sale of electric motors. These electric motors are of two types, AC and DC; they cater to various end users, such as industrial, commercial, residential, transportation, and agriculture.
