AUTOMOTIVE DRIVE MOTOR MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automotive drive motor market is poised for significant growth, starting at USD 18.98 billion in 2024, rising to USD 24.62 billion in 2025, and projected to reach USD 197.17 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 29.7% from 2025 to 2033.

A motor-powered system is referred to as a motor drive. A system with a motor that operates at multiple speeds is known as an adjustable speed motor drive. A system with a motor and continuously variable speed is called a variable speed motor drive. This could be referred to as a generator drive, but it is still commonly referred to as a motor drive if the motor is generating electrical energy rather than using it.

Motors are utilized in a variety of vehicle applications where passenger comfort and the vehicle's capacity to move the driver effectively are equally important. The automotive drive motor market will expand as a result of factors such as rising consumer spending on automobile safety and comfort features and rising demand for high-end vehicles.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Demand Was Hampered by the Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with automotive drive motor market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels.

The global pandemic's restrictions have shocked the world, but the automotive drive motor market has also been severely affected. The pandemic has had a negative impact on the majority of industries worldwide in recent months. This is primarily due to decreased investments in the manufacturing sector by both public and private businesses. A number of preventative lockdowns, significant disruptions to manufacturing and supply chain operations, and other government restrictions forced manufacturers to temporarily reduce production. The shift in demand also slowed the growth of the market for automotive drive motors. The market, on the other hand, is anticipated to recover once government agencies begin to lift these mandatory lockdowns.

LATEST TRENDS
