High Voltage Induction Motors Market - Forecasts from 2022 to 2027

The high voltage induction motors market was estimated at US$18.631 billion in 2020.

Increasing demand for advanced and efficient high-voltage induction motors across end-use industries such as oil and gas and chemicals is driving the growth of the high voltage induction motor market. The high-voltage induction motor is utilized in heavy industries for applications such as pumps, compressors, conveyor belts, hoists, crushers, and many more. Rising offshore drilling activities worldwide are fueling the demand for high-voltage induction motors. Growing automobile demand, especially in developing economies, further boosts the demand for high-voltage induction motors. Growing focus on sustainable use of resources is leading to high investments in hydropower plants, which, in turn, is strengthening the growth of the global high voltage induction motors market.

With the growing demand for energy, high voltage induction motors find immense application in the energy and power industries at the global level.

As per the United Nations estimates, the global population is expected to rise from a population size of 7.7 billion in 2019 to attain a population size of 9.7 billion by 2050. The demand for energy will continue to soar with the rising population. Hence, the utilization of high voltage induction motors holds strong growth prospects in industrial operations during the forecast period and in the upcoming years. The demand for petroleum derivates, contributing to holding a significant market share in meeting the global energy demand, is further projected to drive the growth of the high voltage induction motors market.

Examples of petroleum derivates include gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. These are used on a wide-scale worldwide. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the industrial sector accounts for the majority of energy consumption by end-use consumption. This comprises refining, mining, manufacturing, and other activities. The industrial sector's utilization at the global level is estimated to grow by more than 30% during the period 2018 to 2050. By 2050, the global consumption of energy is expected to reach approximately 315 quadrillions Btu. The increasing consumption of energy, especially in the emerging economies of the world, coupled with the evolving living conditions with growing urbanization, is driving the market demand in the forecast period.

The growing transportation industry, leading to the manufacturing of light and heavy vehicles is surging the market demand in the forecast period.

The growth of the global transportation industry is mostly driven by the developing economies of the world with burgeoning vehicle sales, hence, contributing to the growth of the automotive industry. China, among the emerging economies of the world, is leading in automotive sales at the international level. Additionally, the economic growth is further providing an impetus to the growth of the automotive industry here with a surge in automotive manufacturing. Furthermore, the augmenting logistics industry with the growing e-commerce activities is increasing the demand for efficient fleet management, thus propagating the demand for high voltage induction motors in material handling and other operations in the forecast period. For example, in Japan from the APAC region, the logistics industry holds importance for the citizens of the country. Also, this is known to support the economic activities of the companies. In 2017, the logistics industry was estimated to be worth around 25 trillion yen, according to the Japan Association for Logistics and Transport. The industry is undergoing a structural change for the fulfilment of consumer demands, with the e-commerce industry growing at a steady pace.

The burgeoning steel industry is propagating the market demand in the forecast period.

As per the World Steel Association (WSA) forecast estimates, the steel industry worldwide will continue to surge, with China as the pioneer. It is followed by India, Japan, and the United States. In the year 2019, the steel demand in China is expected to grow by around 7.8% for achieving production of around 900.1 Mt. On the other hand, steel demand in the other parts of the world was projected to grow by more than 2.0%, majorly driven by over 4.0% growth in the developing economies of the world, excluding China.

Global steel demand was estimated to increase by 3.9% to 1,775 million tonnes in 2019 to reach 1,805.7 million tonnes by 2020, an increase of 1.7% (y-o-y growth rate). Hence, the rise in demand is offering strong prospects for the growth of the high-voltage induction motors market in the forecast period. The global crude steel produced in 2018 was around 1,789 million tonnes. This grew by 4.94% over 2017. China was recorded as the largest producer in 2018 producing 928 million tonnes of steel. In the same year, India produced 106 million tonnes, while Japan and the United States of America produced 104 million tonnes and 87 million tonnes, respectively. In other parts of the world, the finished steel demand for 2019 and 2020 is given below:

Furthermore, with innovations in steel products continuing to soar, this will further provide favourable growth prospects for the market to grow at a significant pace in the forecast period and in the upcoming years. As per the World Steel Association statistics, in 2017, an investment of 5.9% of the total revenue by the steel industry in projects, research, and process improvement was made, fueling the growth of the global steel industry. Furthermore, other factors such as the growing construction sector including the infrastructure and real-estate sectors, are further driving the iron and steel industry. In addition, steel consumption is done on a large scale in shipbuilding, automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial goods production, further augmenting industrial growth, which, in turn, is driving the market demand.

Key Developments

• August 2021: As per the press release by Hitachi Energy on 25 August 2021, Hitachi ABB Power Grids Ltd. partnered with Zenob Energy Limited., a leading owner and operator of battery energy storage systems, to deliver a first-of-its-kind system that converts power from batteries to energize the 25 kilovolts (kV) rail traction power system. This was the first time that batteries will be used to provide traction power for the UK rail network. It allowed train operating companies to maintain their fleets more efficiently and ultimately improve passenger service levels.
• March 2021: As per the March 2021 press release by Siemens, they introduced their Simotics SD motor series with a Super Premium Efficiency (IE4) category rating for applications requiring output power of 2.2 to 1,000 kW. With the advanced units that offer enhanced performance, customers can reduce carbon dioxide emissions, lower operating costs, and save energy at the same time.

Impact of COVID-19 on the High Voltage Induction Motors Market

The sudden spread of COVID adversely impacted global operations. The contagious virus halted operations across various countries, significantly affecting financial ecosystems. Many governments introduced strict regulations at the state & national levels, the shutdown of most of the manufacturing plants, social distancing regulations, and limited global interactions helped to curb the spread of the dangerous virus. Consequently, the market was projected to be substantially impaired by the pandemic. The market was considerably distributed across different countries & regions, and cash deficits across small and large players impaired the demand for high-speed motors at various levels. However, the industry participants are continuously striving to adopt different measures to abridge the revenue gap attributed to the pandemic and maintain the fast-paced sales of different high-speed motor systems. The market for industrial high-voltage motors is growing primarily due to the rise in demand for squirrel cage induction motors, but stringent regulations could restrain market expansion.
