Market Trends of Global Servo Motor Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Servo Motor Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Automation Advancement
- The growing use of automation in manufacturing processes and the incorporation of digitization and AI are the primary factors driving demand for industrial robots in the automotive sector.
- Automakers, such as KUKA AG, have automated their plants in recent years to reduce the number of issues on the shop floor, improve efficiency, and lower operational costs. Many companies have followed suit, automating their plants to gain better returns and efficiency, thereby driving the servo motors and drives market.
- For instance, in June 2022, Aerobotix and Automated Solutions Australia officially announced an international robotic automation partnership for developing, testing, and manufacturing hypersonic missiles. The Aerobotix-ASA collaboration will make it easier for the Australian defense sector and defense contractors to access both companies' automation expertise.
- Servo motors are used in material handling, packaging, factory automation, machine tools, assembly lines, and other demanding applications such as robotics, CNC machinery, and automated manufacturing in the industrial sector. As a result, increased automation and robotics adoption is expected to drive the market for servo motors in the automotive sector over the forecast period.
North America to Hold Significant Share
- In North America, the United States is the largest industrial robot user in the Americas, accounting for 79% of total installations in the region. Mexico comes second with 9%, and Canada comes third with 7% (source: International Federation of Robotics).
- For Instance, in December 2021, According to the Association for Advancing Automation, factories and industrial concerns in North America ordered a record 29,000 robots in the first nine months of 2021, a 37 % increase over the previous year (A3).
- Servo motors demand accuracy and repeatability in a country where multiple manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly automated. Unlike hydraulic pumps or induction motors, Servo motors are switched on and off during operation to consume less power saving up to 65%.
- The servo solution is based on the most recent single-source, system-based design ideas. It uses Kollmorgen's AKD2G servo drive and AKM2G servo motor's performance capabilities. It avoids micro-incompatibilities when engineers select components from different manufacturers because the motor and drive are precisely matched in every element (e.g., drive switching frequency, commutation algorithms, and motor magnetics).
- Applied motion products increased MDX Integrated servo motor acceptance on the supplier front. The certification ensures that the motors meet high-quality electrical safety standards in the United States. The motors from Integrated were tested by the ANSI/UL standards 1004-1 Rotating Electrical Machines, 1004-6 Servo and Stepper Motors, and 61800-5-1 Adjustable Speed Drives. The certifications are listed as UL file number E472271.
