In addition, due to growing digitization in various industry verticals, the DC motor sub-segment is estimated to register a high CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period. Furthermore, in terms of volume, the DC motor sub segment is projected to expand at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period in the global electric motor market.
On the basis of power output, the global electric motor market is sub-segmented into <1HP, 1-500 HP, above 500HP. The <1HP sub-segment is estimated to dominate the overall electric motor market, owing to its application in various industries. The segment was valued at US$ 61.5 Bn by the end of 2016, and is estimated to reach US$ 104.8 Bn by the end of 2017. The <1HP sub-segment is expected to create an incremental $ opportunity of US$ 40.8 Bn between the forecast period.
Furthermore, on the basis of applications, the global electric motor market is sub-segmented into pumps, fans, compressor, general machinery, centrifugal machinery, grinders, extruders and others. The pump sub-segment is expected to account for a high market share, the segment accounted for a market share of 20.6% in 2012 and is expected to reach 22.6% by end of the forecast period, gaining 200 basis points between 2012 and 2027. In addition to this, in terms of CAGR and market attractiveness index, the fans, pumps and compressor segments are expected to emerge as the most attractive segments over the forecast period.
Based on end-use, the electric motor market is sub-segmented into industrial, residential, commercial and automotive & transportation. Due to increasing digitization of the chemical industry in North America and Europe, the industrial sub-segment is expected to register a high CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period in the global electric motor market. In the coming years, the automotive & transportation industry is expected to witness growing deployment of advanced technologies and advanced manufacturing systems. With these advancements, the automotive & transportation sub-segment is projected to witness potential growth in the electric motor market. The automotive & transportation sub-segment was valued at US$ 33.8 Bn by the end of 2016 and is estimated to have reached US$ 35.1 Bn by the end of 2017. This segment is expected to create incremental $ opportunity worth US$ 22.5 Bn during the forecast period.
Furthermore, on the basis of geography, North America is expected to dominate the global Electric Motor market due to the ongoing technological advancements in manufacturing techniques and growing demand for cost competiveness and increased productivity in the U.S. and Canada. The electric motor market will witness high potential in APEJ owing to growing demand for robotics in India & China.
