This drives growth in the AC motor segment during the forecast period.
The DC motor segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The DC motors are said to have higher efficiency and higher starting torque. The demand and adoption of such motors increases as the demand from the end-user segment is increasing widely. This will drive the growth of the DC motor segment during the forecast period.
Low Voltage Segment to Dominate Market Share over 2021-2028
On the basis of voltage, the market is segmented into low and medium. The low voltage segment is estimated to dominate the market. The low voltage segment is highly preferred in the end-user industries. The installation and construction of power generation plants are widely increasing across the world, and low IMCs are majorly installed in these power plants. The low voltage IMC has higher benefits than others. This drives growth in the market during the forecast period.
The gas segment is estimated to foresee growth
The medium voltage segment is estimated to register significant growth during the forecast period. The installation of such IMCs is increasing in various end-user industries, which is likely to drive growth in the market during the forecast period.
Pumps Segment is Likely to Dominate the Market
By application, the market share is split into pumps, fans, compressors, and others. The pumps segment is estimated to hold the dominant market share through 2028. The demand and installation of pumps are higher as it has application in various industries like water & wastewater, and oil & gas. The pumps are largely used motors for the transferring of liquid or semi-solids. The installation of IMC is widely increasing in the pumps industry as it increases the motor efficiency and working of the pump. This drives growth in the pump sector over 2021-2028.
The fans segment is likely to witness growth during the forecast period. The demand for the installation of the motor is higher in the fans and blowers. The installation of IMC in the fan’s motors is widely increasing as it improves the operational efficiency of the fans. This drives growth in the fans segment over the projected period.
