How Is Rising EV Sales Supplementing Electric Motor Market Growth?

Factors such as the rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and increasing compliance for energy-efficient electric motors are expected to propel the electric motor market at a CAGR of 6.3% during 2020–2030. According to P&S Intelligence, the market was valued at $105.5 billion in 2020 and it is projected to generate $195.1 billion revenue by 2030. At present, the manufacturing industry is opting for energy-efficient electric motors to reduce energy consumption and reduce operating costs. 

The surging adoption of EVs is one of the key growth drivers of the market, as electric motors are their major components. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global stock of battery electric vehicles (BEV) (cars) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) (cars) will surge from 6,850,327 in 2020 to 79,975,992 by 2030 and 3,346,713 in 2020 to 44,355,904 by 2030, respectively. Furthermore, the total number of BEV (vans) and PHEV (vans) will escalate from 427,525 in 2020 to 11,041,648 by 2030 and 8,384 in 2020 to 1,959,625 by 2030, respectively. 

The application segment of the electric motor market is categorized into medical, industrial, space, transportation, commercial aerospace, non-industrial robotics, defense, marine, and others. Under this segment, the transportation category generated the highest revenue in 2020, due to the surging adoption of EVs and booming demand for motor vehicles. The rising shift toward EVs can be attributed to the soaring public awareness about worsening air quality and increasing government support toward the EV industry in the form of tax rebates and subsidies.

Globally, the Asia-Pacific electric motor market generated the highest revenue in 2020, and it is projected to showcase the fastest growth throughout the forecast period (2021–2030). This can be attributed to the presence of a large number of manufacturing plants in developing countries, such as Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, and India. Moreover, the mounting investments being made by the market players in the untapped markets of the region will also augment the demand for electric motors in APAC.

Thus, the burgeoning EV production and escalating demand for energy-efficient electric motors are expected to steer the market growth across the world.
