AC Electric Motor Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The future expansion of the AC electric motor market is anticipated to be fueled by the growing trend of industrial automation. Industrial automation involves utilizing control systems, including computers and robots, to manage industrial operations with minimal human involvement, thereby enhancing production speed, precision, and safety while simultaneously lowering labor expenditures. This surge in automation stems from the escalating demand for heightened efficiency, exactness, and expense reduction within manufacturing, enabling companies to sustain competitiveness in a swiftly changing market landscape. AC electric motors support industrial automation by providing precise speed and torque control for robotic arms and automated machinery. As an illustration, data from September 2024, published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a Germany-based non-profit organization, revealed a 51% increase in industrial robot installations in the UK, totaling 3,830 units. Concurrently, the Americas saw over 50,000 units installed for the third consecutive year, reaching 55,389 units in 2023. Consequently, the expansion of industrial automation is a key factor propelling the AC electric motor market’s growth.
