SMOKE EXTRACTION MOTORS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global smoke extraction motors market size was valued at USD 0.764 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 1.295 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 6.03% from 2025 to 2033.

The United States smoke extraction motors market size is projected at USD 0.262 Billion in 2025, the Europe smoke extraction motors market size is projected at USD 0.216 Billion in 2025, and the China smoke extraction motors market size is projected at USD 0.179 Billion in 2025.

Smoke extraction motors, often known as smoke motors, are used to power smoke extraction fans. These are low-voltage motors with squirrel-cage rotors designed for use in automatic smoke and heat extraction machines. Because of their design and configuration, the extraction motors are utilized in buildings where smoke control is required. Even at high temperatures, the motor is a dependable and safe device in both ordinary and emergency situations. In public and congested areas, they are frequently employed for two sorts of applications: jet fans and axial fans.

Tunnel safety depends on smoke extraction motors. The ability of extraction fans and the electric motors that power them to promptly and effectively remove toxic gases and smoke is critical in the case of a tunnel fire. The motors must be able to withstand the extreme heat created in fire zones and continue to perform reliably in these demanding conditions.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

The COVID-19 issue has had an impact on the world economy, resulting in a rigorous lockdown and a halt to day-to-day operations in every industry. The panic scenario has had a severe impact on the industries due to the limitations set by the government. This has resulted in a decline in the market for smoke extraction motors; there was a direct and indirect influence from several sectors manufacturing thermostats. With the market's revival following COVID-19, we are seeing a recovery of the market where blanks are restructured with product innovation and investments in R&D activities to develop advanced technologies to meet advanced requirements, which will project a proposed increase in market share in the forecasted period.

LATEST TRENDS

The Comfort Ventilation and Variable Speed Drivers to Grow Market Potentially

Jet fans and axial fans are two popular uses for smoke extraction motors, and both are utilized for comfort ventilation as well as in extreme fire conditions. They are part of the comfort ventilation system, which keeps the air quality in the tunnel clean during regular operation. Variable speed drives (VSDs) should regulate the motors, allowing for adjustable energy-saving fan settings. Players are developing new design models to match shifting standards and criteria. 

• Integration of Smart Monitoring Systems: According to the European Fire Safety Alliance, over 68% of newly installed smoke extraction systems in commercial buildings across the EU in 2023 incorporated smart sensors and digital control units for real-time motor monitoring, significantly improving operational efficiency and failure prediction.

• Rise in Demand from High-Rise Buildings: As per the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), over 5,100 high-rise buildings in the U.S. underwent smoke extraction motor upgrades in 2022, primarily driven by compliance with updated fire safety codes introduced in NFPA 92A and 92B standards.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growing Need in the Fire Emergencies and Requirement in Working Area to Boost the Market Growth

The rising number of fire incidents and the growing need for ventilation in the workplace are expected to boost the global smoke extraction motors market. The smoke-extraction motors are installed in automatic smoke and heat extraction units such as tunnels, single and multi-story shopping centers, industrial buildings and warehouses, building complexes and atriums, theatres, indoor parking garages, and staircases. Smoke extraction systems are critical components of the overall work environment, as well as road and rail tunnels. Players are developing new design models to fulfil shifting requirements and norms.

• Stringent Fire Safety Regulations: According to the International Association for Fire Safety Science (IAFSS), over 40 countries enforced stricter smoke extraction motor regulations in 2023, leading to a 25% increase in demand from sectors like hospitals and underground transportation systems.

• Growth in Commercial Construction: The U.S. Census Bureau reported approximately 1.74 billion square feet of non-residential construction completed in 2023, with smoke extraction motor systems mandated in over 85% of these projects due to updated International Building Code (IBC) 2021 standards.

Effective Designing and Operations in Public and Commercial Places to Multiply the Production and Enrich the Market Growth

Smoke extraction motors are typically big, powerful electric motors that power massive axial or centrifugal fans. The fans create a high airflow, allowing smoke and pollutants to be extracted. The motors are frequently installed in dedicated mechanical rooms or on the building's roof, where they may offer efficient smoke extraction over a large area.
