The Japan low voltage electric motor market size reached USD 942.9 Million in 2025 . Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,360.5 Million by 2034 , exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.16 % during 2026-2034 . The market is driven by stringent energy efficiency regulations, such as the Top Runner Program, and the push for carbon neutrality. Rising industrial automation, IoT integration, and demand for smart manufacturing solutions further propel growth. Labor shortages and the need for precision in the automotive, robotics, and electronics industries also enhance adoption.
Growing Demand for Energy-Efficient Motors
The rise in demand for energy-efficient models, driven by stringent government regulations and increasing sustainability initiatives, is favoring the Japan low voltage electric motor market growth. Japan has strict energy conservation laws through the Top Runner Program, which encourages manufacturers to develop motors with higher efficiency ratings. Industries, including automotive, manufacturing, and HVAC, are now moving towards IE3 and IE4 premium efficiency motors to reduce operating costs and reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, the rise of smart factories and Industry 4.0 has accelerated the adoption of advanced motor technologies that optimize energy consumption. A research report from the IMARC Group indicates that the market size for Industry 4.0 in Japan was valued at USD 9.8 Billion in 2024. It is projected to grow to USD 43.3 Billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9% from 2025 to 2033. Companies are also investing in IoT-enabled motors that provide real-time performance monitoring, further enhancing efficiency. As Japan continues to prioritize green energy and carbon neutrality by 2050, the shift toward energy-efficient low-voltage motors is growing, creating a positive Japan low voltage electric motor market outlook.

Increasing Automation in Industrial Applications
Another key trend in the market is the rising adoption of automation across industrial sectors. Japan is currently the world leader in robotics, with a historic total of 435,299 industrial robots, driven primarily by automotive (132,766 units), electronics (143,768 units), and metal companies (64,915 units) to help modernize their factories. Yet despite a 9% decrease in installations to 46,106 units in 2023, Japan remains the second-largest robotics market globally. This growth shows an increasing demand for precision systems, such as low-voltage electric motors, to support the next generation of automation as the manufacturing industry throughout the country transitions towards both electric and hydrogen-based technologies. As labor shortages increasingly dictate precision in manufacturing, low-voltage motors are beginning to find regular use in the automated systems of a number of industries, including robotics, automotive and electronics. They are used to make conveyor belts, robotic arms, and CNC machines work quickly and accurately. The increasing number of collaborative robots (cobots) and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) has contributed to the demand for smaller, higher-performance motors as well. Moreover, advancements in motor control technologies such as variable frequency drives (VFDs) are enhancing the efficiency of automation by allowing precise control over the speed and torque. As Japan continues to lead in industrial automation, the demand for reliable and durable low-voltage motors is rising, expanding the Japan low voltage electric motor market share.
