Abstract
Some of the top level results from the study include:
- The world market for direct drives is forecast to grow by 10.6% over the
forecast period 2004-2009.
- EMEA is the largest region for linear motor components; conversely the
largest market for linear motor systems is Asia Pacific.
- The Asia Pacific region is forecast to experience the highest levels of
growth for direct drives.
- Customers are moving from purchasing linear motor components to purchasing
linear motor systems.
- Major industry sectors for direct drives include: semiconductor machinery,
machine tools and electronics and electronics assembly.
This is one of the many findings from the latest IMS Research study on the
EMEA market for direct drives. The report provides market forecasts and
analysis of the World and EMEA markets for three different products: linear
motor components, linear motor systems, and torque motors. For each of the
above segmentations the report is further sub-divided by: product type (for
linear motors only), product size, industry sector, geographic region, sales
channel, and number of axis (for linear motor systems only). A detailed
analysis of these results, which are provided both in terms of revenues and
unit shipments, is also included.
An analysis of the competitive environment is also provided, including market
shares for 2004, as well as a matrix of companies active in the market.
This study is ideal for anyone looking for a detailed quantitative analysis of
the worldwide and EMEA direct drives market. This includes manufacturers
looking to enter the direct drives market, or a particular product range in
this market, as well as companies looking to break into new regional markets,
as well as investment bankers and VCs.
