Electric AC Motors Market: Overview

An electric motor known as an alternating current motor (AC motor) converts alternating electricity into a mechanical revolution. From converting massive industrial power to converting subtle energy for home usage, AC motors are used in various applications. The two main categories of electric ac motors are synchronous and induction. The end-use categories for electric ac motors include industrial machinery, motor vehicles, aerospace & transportation, HVAC equipment, and household appliances.

Electric AC Motors Market: COVID–19 Impact Analysis

Governments have relaxed containment standards and let industrial facilities function in 2021 due to the decline in COVID-19 patients in APAC. Due to the restriction of a small staff, the rules put in place by governments to contain the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the production process. Among the essential industries that support the expansion of the electric AC motors market in the region are consumer electronics and the automotive industry. The customer’s purchasing power has significantly dropped due to job loss or wage reductions. The decreased purchasing power affected the sales of numerous electrical appliances, including television sets, washing machines, and air conditioners. According to Automobile Industry Associations, the Indian car industry lost millions of dollars every day in 2020. Nevertheless, the demand for electric AC motors from diverse end-users has increased as the economies recover and enterprises resume their activities. Additionally, businesses may work more efficiently with a prominent worker capacity than past limits.

Electric AC Motors Market: Growth Drivers

Rising demand for electric vehicles

The sale of electric vehicles is projected to increase in the future due to a significant number of government programs, including tax rebates, grants, and other non-financial perks like access to carpool lanes and subsidies. For instance, German automakers increased their cash incentives for electric cars in November 2019 to delay the switch from internal combustion to battery-powered engines to prevent hazardous emissions. The sale of electric vehicles has increased significantly in recent decades in nations including the United States, China, and several European countries; this, in turn, will help the industry expand. Some primary drivers propelling the market’s expansion are rising consumer awareness of the benefits of energy-efficient motors, electric vehicle adoption, and electric vehicles.

Increased demand for HVAC systems

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems guarantee interior air quality and thermal comfort. They are one of the fundamental components of modern infrastructures, particularly for colossal offices or shopping complexes. To maximize their life and power and achieve high airflow system efficiency, electric AC motors are frequently employed in HVAC systems. Due to the ongoing expansion of its industrial and commercial sectors, APAC, particularly in China and India, is experiencing an increased demand for HVAC systems.

Electric AC Motors Market: Segmentation Analysis

The Electric AC Motors market is segmented into type, voltage, and end-user industries in our research scope. By type, the induction segment is estimated to hold the largest market share in 2021. These are affordable, have a straightforward design, and work well in challenging conditions. However, the synchronous market is anticipated to grow at a faster CAGR across several industries, owing to advantages such as accurate speed and position control, robust construction, and powerful torque. These products’ power factor may be set to 1.0, making them ideal for low-speed drives (less than 300 rpm). Using high-power electrical converters that generate incredibly low frequencies can run at extremely low speeds. 

Synchronous motors are widely utilized for many applications because they can reach various speeds thanks to a variable frequency driving system. They also power continuously functioning machineries such as fans, centrifugal pumps, blowers, and air and ammonia compressors.
