Market Trends of Smart Motors Industry

Industrial Application Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share

  • Smart motors are employed to regulate the motor's speed based on specific needs and purposes. In the industrial sector, these smart motors are capable of handling intricate tasks within machinery, executing precise and diverse functions through the integration of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Industrial smart motors find their application in various fields, such as industrial automation, material handling, and robotics. The utilization of these advanced motors, commonly referred to as "smart" motors, is steadily growing across numerous industrial sectors.
  • The need for machine control has become highly important in today's era, where technology has gained prominence due to the numerous applications it enables. Present-day industries are continuously investing in the effective implementation of the latest innovations that have revolutionized business operations. The incorporation of smart motor technology in various industrial applications will greatly contribute to enhancing the performance of the technology utilized in the modern era.
  • In addition, the industrial sector is witnessing a growing demand for smart motors due to the importance of advanced control features in robotics and automation solutions. This transition toward automation is being observed across various sectors as industries strive to enhance production efficiency, increase capacity, and reduce production time. In addition, the scarcity of labor, rising labor costs, and the need for energy-efficient solutions are further motivating industries to adopt these advanced technologies.
  • Smart motors find significant applications in the industrial sector, particularly in smart manufacturing, motor-driven processing equipment, material handling, mixers, extruders, pumps, compressors, etc. The ability of smart motors to reduce energy consumption has driven their adoption in the studied sector. Industrial factories use diverse kinds of motors, and the motor conditions are confirmed daily to ensure stable and safe operations at respective sites. Since monitoring the conditions of motors requires technical proficiency and experience, there is a need for a system that could replace the manual process with highly skilled experts for monitoring motors and analyzing conditions.
  • Several companies are making substantial investments to improve their innovations and promote the advancement of smart motor technology, given the increasing benefits these motors offer in industrial applications. An example of this is CG Smart Motors, which recently introduced Smart Motors in September 2023. This next-generation technology allows industries to monitor the health of their motors and implement preventive measures to prevent downtime or breakdowns. By leveraging IIoT-enabled communication, this technology facilitates smart communication for businesses, ultimately enhancing efficiency and productivity in industrial plants.
  • According to IFR, 2022 witnessed a 5% increase in the number of industrial robot installations compared to the previous year, with a remarkable total of over 553,000 units deployed globally. Most of these new robots, accounting for 73%, were installed in Asia, while Europe and the Americas contributed 15% and 10%, respectively. Thus, the market is expected to maintain its growth momentum, with a projected expansion rate of 7% in 2023. This growth is anticipated to lead to a significant milestone of 600,000 units being reached. These positive developments are driving investments in the robotics industry and creating promising opportunities within the market.

Asia-Pacific is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share

  • • Asia-Pacific is one of the most significant markets for the market studied. The region offers massive growth potential to the studied market vendors, owing to the growing adoption of automation across the various end-user industries in the region. The energy concern in the region is also increasing the adoption of low-voltage electrical equipment and motivating many firms to develop energy-efficient and compact electrical equipment and devices, further driving the growth of smart motors.
  • Initiatives like the 'Make in India' program place India on the world map as a manufacturing hub and give global recognition to the Indian economy. The Made in India campaign has bolstered multiple new launches in industrial robots in the country. India's industrial automation sector has been revolutionized by the combination of digital and physical aspects of manufacturing to deliver optimum performance. The focus on achieving zero waste production and a shorter time to acquire the market has augmented the growth.
  • The massive shifts in manufacturing due to Industry 4.0 and the acceptance of IoT to advance production, with technologies to achieve greater production capacity and output, have propelled the demand for smart motors in the market. Also, the additional drive benefits, such as minimized maintenance requirements and improved process control, boost adoption.
  • China's focus on renewable energy and sustainability has greatly contributed to the growth of the smart motors market. These smart motors are now being widely employed in renewable energy generation and distribution systems to enhance efficiency, control, and integration with smart grids. The government's initiatives, such as "Make in China 2025," are expected to further promote the adoption of smart motors across various industries, leading to a surge in market demand. As a result, the industrial sector in China is anticipated to witness substantial growth.
  • The Government of India has forecasted that India will attract a total investment of USD 58 billion to explore and extract oil and gas resources by 2023. Moreover, prominent international energy corporations like Chevron Corp., ExxonMobil, and TotalEnergies have shown keenness to invest in India.
  • Malaysia holds the distinction of being the second-largest oil producer in Southeast Asia and the fifth-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) across the world. According to Petronas, Malaysia is projected to allocate a significant sum of USD 12.5 billion toward upstream expenditure in 2023, representing a notable 35% increase from the previous year. This anticipated investment level is the highest seen in the past five years.
  • Petronas announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Petronas Carigali, had successfully discovered six oil and gas reserves in June 2023. These developments are expected to drive the adoption of various automation technologies, leading to an increased demand for smart motors in the region’s oil and gas sector.
