Variable Frequency Drives to Gain Traction

The variable frequency drives (VFD) segment held a significant share in 2024, owing to its superior energy efficiency, precise motor control, and reduced mechanical stress on equipment. VFDs not only regulate motor speed but also help extend motor life and lower energy consumption, making them a preferred choice across industries such as HVAC, oil & gas, and water treatment.

Rising Adoption of Low Voltage

The low voltage held a sizeable share in 2024, driven by its widespread use in commercial buildings, small-scale manufacturing, and infrastructure applications. These starters are ideal for controlling motors in systems with voltage ratings typically below 1,000V, including pumps, compressors, and conveyors.

Asia Pacific to Emerge as a Propelling Region

Asia Pacific motor starter market held a sustainable share in 2024, fueled by booming industrialization, rising investments in infrastructure, and growing energy demand across countries like China, India, and Southeast Asia. This region accounts for a significant share of global motor installations, particularly in manufacturing, construction, and utilities.
