2025 Outlook: The Future of Electric Motors in a Connected World

As the world population grows and economies expand, the demand for energy, particularly oil and gas, continues to rise. Increasing demand for HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems among residential, commercial, and industrial end-users, industries shift towards energy-efficient electric motors due to lowered energy utilization and operational costs in manufacturing industries are some of the major driving factors for the electric motors market.

Electric Motors Market Growth

The global electric motors market is expected to grow from estimated $152.2 billion in 2024 to $206.4 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period

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).

Key Growth Drivers:

• Increasing demand for HVAC systems in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
• Growing demand in manufacturing industries.
• Adoption of industrial automation and robotics and shift toward smart manufacturing.
• Rising demand for energy-efficient motors.
• Increasing mechanization in agriculture sector.
