Market Trends of Hazardous Location Motor Starters Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Hazardous Location Motor Starters market according to our research experts:
Explosion Proof Motor in Coal Production to Drive the Market Growth
- Growing dependency on coal production is triggering the growth of several coal plants in the world, which is driving the market. Eliminating the presence of potential sources of ignition, and providing appropriate equipment, all machinery and electrical equipment inside the enclosed coal storage area or structure are approved for use in hazardous locations. These are provided with spark-proof motors or explosion proof motors, which are assigned a temperature code (T code).
- Flameproof motors, which are a part of explosion-proof motors, are designed for operation in coal mines that are endangered by the explosion of methane and coal dust in spaces (zones one and two) where explosive mixtures of combustible gases and steams of liquid with air occurs.
- Dust ignition-proof motor is designed to exclude hazardous materials and prevent dust explosions. ABB offers a wide range of dust ignition proof motors and with Ex t motors, any explosion transmission of dust is prevented in the coal preparation.
- The explosion-proof enclosure used in the US coal mines complies with the applicable design requirements of 30 CFR 18, subpart B. It is able to contain internal explosions of methane-air mixtures without undergoing damage or excessive distortion of its walls or covers, without causing an ignition of a surrounding methane-air mixture.
Asia-Pacific to Witness the Fastest Growth in Future
- The Asia-Pacific motor starters market is expected to observe a substantial growth in the near future, determined by the discovery of new oil and gas reserves in this region.
- A significant number of mergers and acquisitions, in the region, have led to an enormous amount of drilling and exploration activities in hazardous locations. This has further boosted the demand for motors and motor starters in this region.
- Asia-Pacific is likely to emerge as a demand center for soft starters, which are used in the motor for protection. Due to the increasing industrialization, in the region’s emerging economies, such as India and China, it is expected that motor starters will experience high growth of the motor starter in various applications.
- India has one of the world’s largest refinery complexes in Jamnagar, owned by Reliance group. The need for safety and explosion-proof motors at this refinery is driving market growth.
