Electric DC Motors Market Analysis

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems maintain air quality and provide thermal comfort. The US Department of Energy estimates that the demand for HVAC equipment was 10% higher in 2021 than in 2020. HVAC systems are a crucial component of modern infrastructure, particularly in large office buildings and commercial malls. Electric DC motors are often employed in HVAC systems to increase their lifespan, power, and airflow efficiency. Expansions of commercial spaces; construction of new corporate hubs, office buildings, organized retail stores, and residential complexes; and rising income levels in Southeast Middle Eastern and Asian countries have made HVAC equipment highly accessible to consumers.

Electric DC Motors Market Overview

One kind of electric machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy is a direct current (DC) motor. DC motors use direct current electricity to generate mechanical spin from the energy they receive. DC motors employ magnetic fields created by the electrical currents flowing through them to drive a rotor that is fixed inside the output shaft. The electrical input and the motor's design both affect the torque and speed of the output. A stator and an armature are the two main parts of a DC motor. In a motor, the armature rotates while the stator remains motionless. The armature of a DC motor rotates because of the magnetic field generated by the stator. An electromagnetic field that is aligned with the coil's center is produced by a simple DC motor using a coil of wire that is current-driven and a set of stationary magnets in the stator.

Electric DC Motors Market Drivers and Opportunities

Increasing adoption of brushless DC motors

The adoption of brushless DC motors is increasing as various companies are launching these motors. For instance, in January 2021, Portescap added the 16ECS high-speed brushless motor to its Ultra EC™ mini brushless DC motor platform. These compact 16-millimeter motors are available in 36- and 52-mm lengths and provide high power while running at speeds of 75,000 rpm. Similarly, in February 2023, Johnson Electric announced the launch of our ECI-043 brushless DC motor platform. Thus, with the introduction of brushless DC motors, the market is growing.

Increasing Adoption Of EVs

Some of the world’s largest automotive OEMs, manufacturing plants established in the various American regions that manufacture passenger cars, trucks, buses, and other off-highway vehicles, have undertaken various electrification initiatives. For instance, in July 2021, Stellantis had planned to invest around US$35.5 billion in vehicle electrification through 2025. Furthermore, Stellantis joins automakers such as General Motors, Volkswagen, and Ford Motor in announcing investments of tens of billions of dollars in EVs. California state in the US, one of the world's largest automotive manufacturing hubs, has started providing incentives and mandates to automotive OEMs for zero-emission vehicles. For instance, in August 2022, The California Air Resources Board approved the trailblazing Advanced Clean Cars II regulation to accelerate 100% new zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035. Thus, the increasing adoption of EVs is creating more opportunities for the market.

    Electric DC Motors Market News and Recent Developments

    The electric DC motors market is evaluated by gathering qualitative and quantitative data post primary and secondary research, which includes important corporate publications, association data, and databases. A few of the developments in the electric DC motors market are listed below:

    • Johnson Electric announced the launch of our ECI-040 brushless DC motor platform. This new generation is designed to simplify integration by accepting direct mains AC power through the controller as input. Customers can replace AC motors directly and can also eliminate the need for expensive and large AC-to-DC transformers. (Source: Johnson Electric, Press Release, August 2021)
    • Nidec Corporation announced that it has developed a single-phase, low-vibration, and low-cost brushless DC motor that can be installed in an electric fan. Most electric fans used around the world employ low-cost AC (capacitor) motors, which, as a solution for the global increase in energy consumption, should be replaced by high-efficiency brushless DC motors. While three-phase brushless DC motors are excellent in durability, noise level, and controllability, their prices, higher than those of AC motors, have made products that are equipped with the motors expensive, posing an impediment to the ACDC motor replacement.
