Market Trends of Intelligent Motor Control Center Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Intelligent Motor Control Center Market according to our research experts:
Automotive End User to Account for Significant Share
- IMCC finds applications in the manufacturing plants of automotive and other transport vehicles, such as ships and railway carriages. IMCC demand in vehicle manufacturing is expected to increase steadily, particularly in Germany, the United States, and Japan, owing to a robust automotive manufacturing sector and higher penetration of industrial automation.
- Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA) reported that the total number of cars produced in 2021 amounted to 80,145,988 units. The growing demand for automobiles is expected to continue over and beyond the forecast period, creating a demand for effective manufacturing equipment and technologies.
- Automakers like Toyota, Mazda, BMW, Hyundai, etc., are expanding their operations across North America and Asian regions, which can be potential buyers of IMCC over the forecast period. For instance, in June 2022, Deloitte opened a smart factory in the United States, Kansas City. The Smart Factory, Wichita aims to advance the future of manufacturing and spur innovation through digital transformation.
- Furthermore, the vendors in the market are innovating new solutions to have a competitive edge. For instance, in October 2022, Kinetic Technologies announced to showcase of power management, motor control, and smart connectivity solutions serving the consumer, communications, industrial, automotive, and enterprise markets at Electronica 2022.

North America to Account for Major Market Share
- The North American market is relatively mature but still presents ample opportunities to implement new technologies, such as IMCC. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimated that nearly half of the electricity used by US manufacturers was for operating machinery, of which machine drives (motors) consumed the most.
- Such estimates determine the need for efficient motor control systems. Connected manufacturing units in the region support the adoption of IMCC as a better alternative for reduced energy consumption. The oil and gas industry is expected to be the most prominent end-user in the North American market.
- Further, the Government in the region is taking various initiatives for energy efficiency in the manufacturing sector. For instance, in February 2022, Government announced initiatives focused on the cleaner industrial sector in the United States. To support this effort, the Environmental Protection Agency will develop proposed rule revisions to strengthen the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program with respect to CCUS activities, and the Department of the Interior will establish safeguards for geologic sequestration on federal lands.
- IMCCs are predominantly used in the renewable energy industry. Tax incentives have been implemented to encourage the growth of wind energy in the region. According to a report published by the U.S. Department of Energy, wind power remained one of America's fastest-growing energy sources and accounted for 32% of U.S. energy capacity growth in 2021 and provided enough energy to power 40 million American homes.
