Synchronous Motors Market Size, Share and Global Trend By Mounting Type (Horizontal, Vertical), By Voltage (Low, Medium), By Application (Compressors, Pumps, Fans, Extruders, Mixers, Conveyor Belts, Others), By End-User (Oil & Gas, Metal & Mining, Paper & Pulp, Chemicals & Petrochemicals, Automotive, Others) and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Synchronous motors are alternating current motors which consist of a spinning rotor with coils that pass magnets at the same rates as that of the alternating current and the resulting rotating magnetic field that is responsible for driving the rotor. Synchronous motors are available in small to large industrial sizes depending on the application for which they are to be used.

In small sizes, the synchronous motors are used where the constant speed is required, and the synchronous motors with higher ratings provide higher efficiency for converting the AC energy to work and ensure correction of power factor. The speed and torque characteristics possessed by the synchronous motors are ideal for the reciprocating compressors and driving higher horsepower.

By mounting type, the synchronous motors market is bifurcated as horizontal and vertical mounting. Based on voltage, the synchronous motor market is classified as low voltage and medium voltage motors. The medium voltage synchronous motors are used in the process industries while the low voltage synchronous motors are used in the pharmaceutical machinery, gearless elevators, and packing machines among others. The low voltage synchronous motor is expected to dominate the synchronous market owing to a wide range of applications of low voltage over the high voltage synchronous motors.

Based on application, the synchronous motors market is segmented into compressors, pumps, fans, extruders, mixers, conveyor belts, and others application depending on their operating frequencies. By end-user, the market is segmented as oil & gas, metal & mining, paper & pulp, chemical & petrochemicals, automotive, and others.

Growing concerns for environmental safety and CO₂ emissions have shifted the attention of people towards using renewable and clean energy sources. Owing to this, the electric vehicle demand has grown significantly in different regions. Subsidies offered by local governments are among the key reasons for the growth of the electric vehicle market.

The synchronous motors are being adopted by various manufacturers involved in the electric vehicle market over the conventional induction motors. Owing to this, the synchronous motors are expected to witness a surge in the market growth in the near future.

Growth in the power generation industry is expected to create a platform for the sales growth of the synchronous motors for the manufacturing of synchronous generators in the coming years. The cost per kilowatt of the synchronous motors is high as compared to the induction motors. This is expected to hamper the growth of the synchronous motor market over the future.
