The inner rotor segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 7.9% in the forecast period. In inner rotor type motors, rotors are positioned at the centre and surrounded by stator winding. These motors are used in the manufacturing, automotive, and consumer electronics industries for robotics, CNC machines, automatic door openers, and metal cutting and forming machine applications. These applications require motors that can carry out fast acceleration and deceleration of speed, offer high starting torque, have reversible action capability, and are compact. According to the IEA, EV Outlook 2020, the global sales of electric cars reached 2 million in 2019, 40% higher than in 2018. This indicates the increased demand for electric vehicles and their accelerated manufacturing in coming years, which in turn, is expected to fuel the demand for inner rotor electric motors. 

Automotive sector is expected to witness a highest CAGR of 8.3% the forecast period, owing to various factors such as increase in sales of electric vehicles due to rising concerns over greenhouse gases emissions, and favorable government policies in countries such as India, China and so on. Increasing focus on R&D activities and rapid technological changes owing to the changing government norms for vehicle safety are projected to drive the market.  In addition automotive safety norms are evolving in developing countries due to upcoming legislations for active and passive safety systems, which mandate the installation of safety systems in passenger cars. This considerably increases the installation of safety systems such as ABS and ESC per vehicle and thus, increases the demand for electric motors. Safety features are enhanced by ABS, ESC, and brake assist motors platforms, which provide high power density and reliability for all vehicles, including hybrid and electric car braking systems. Advanced compact pedal adjuster motors are designed to provide the highest uniformity in the smallest package to enhance driver control and comfort. All these features are increasing the comfort and performance of a vehicle, subsequently driving the demand for electric motors in the forecast period 2021-2026. 

Electric Motor market in Asia-Pacific region held significant market share of 40% in 2020. Increasing compliance for energy efficient motors and rising adoption of motor-driven electric vehicles are the key factors driving market growth.  The rising demand for efficient energy usage over concerns of environmental impact of energy generation from conventional sources such as coal and natural gas, is expected to help grow the electric motor market. In addition advancements in the agriculture sector and enormous investments in industrialization in countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Australia is driving the market growth. Further, the increasing production and sales of electric vehicles in countries including China and Japan is also analyzed to drive the market growth. 

The electric car market has witnessed rapid evolution with the ongoing developments in automotive sector and favorable government policies and support in terms of subsidies and grants, tax rebates. Major manufacturers such as General Motors, Toyota, and BMW plan to release a potential of 400 models and estimated global sales of 25 million by 2025. In 2021, Ford Motor has committed to increase its investments in electric vehicles to $30 billion by 2025, up from a previous spend of $22 billion by 2023. Similarly, in 2020, Volkswagen, Chinese ventures has committed to invest $17.5 billion in electric vehicles by 2025. As electric vehicles use various types of electric motors, hence the rising demand for electric vehicles globally drives the automotive valves market.

Manufacturers are continuously focusing on R&D to develop new and effective electric motors to meet consumer demand. Increasing concerns, such as environmental pollution and regulations, are forcing manufacturers to develop electric motors that reduce vibration and increase efficiency. For instance, a synchronous electric motor is around 80% more efficient than an induction electric motor. Similarly, the development of a new type of steel for electric motors, which reduces the weight of the electric motor and makes it more efficient and powerful. This new type of electric motor will be small in size and cost effective, which will raise demand from residential and commercial applications. Moreover growing developments from various companies is also analysed to drive the market growth. In 2020, ABB has launched low voltage IEC induction motor to reduce the overall size of the equipment. Similarly, Arc Systems Inc. developed the squirrel cage induction electric motor with class-H insulation materials, which can sustain high temperature. Hence these factors are analysed to drive the market growth in the forecast period 2021-2026.

The market for electric motors is highly fragmented, with a significant number of domestic and international manufacturers. Product quality is a primary parameter for differentiation in this market. The organized sector in the market mainly targets industrial buyers and maintains excellent product quality, while the unorganized sector offers low-cost alternatives to tap local markets. Local manufacturers of electric motors in most countries target the unorganized sector and compete strongly with the global suppliers in the respective markets. Leading market players are currently exposed to intense competition from such unorganized players supplying inexpensive and low-quality electric motors. This acts as a key challenge for the growth of the market.

Product launches, acquisitions, Partnerships and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the Electric Motor market. Electric Motor top 10 companies include ABB Ltd. AMETEK, Inc., Johnson Electric Holdings Limited, Siemens AG, Rockwell Automation, Toshiba Corp., Hitachi Ltd., Nidec Corporation, ARC Systems Inc., among others.

• In 2021 BorgWarner launched HVH 320 electric motors in four variants. They are offered to light-duty passenger cars and heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
• In 2020, ABB has launched new range of low voltage IEC induction motors, which are compactly designed and reduces the overall size of the equipment by minimizing space and total cost of ownership.
