Hazardous Location Motor Starters Market Forecasts to 2028 - Global Analysis By Type of Motor Starter, By Class, By Division, By Zone, By Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Hazardous Location Motor Starters Market is growing at a CAGR of 7.25% during the forecast period. These motors are designed to prevent ignition outside the motor by keeping sparks, flashes, and explosions inside the motor housing. For applications commonly found in oil and gas, commercial painting and coating, and grain processing facilities, hazardous location motors are adequate. Motor starters are used to start a motor on time and safeguard it from overloads and overheating. The use of magnetic combination starters is restricted to hazardous areas, such as those with combustible dust, gases, and vapors. Magnetic motor starters have an electromagnetically driven switch for safely starting and halting the motor.

According to the General Authority for Statistics (Saudi Arabia), coal mining revenue was recorded at 0.44 million in 2022 and is projected to amount to USD 0.55 million in 2023.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Explosion proof motor in coal production to drive the market growth

The market is being driven by the expansion of several coal plants around the world due to growing dependence on coal output. All machinery and electrical equipment inside the enclosed coal storage area or structure is permissible for operation in hazardous situations, and there are no possible sources of ignition available. Additionally, the space or structure is equipped with the proper equipment. These are temperature-coded (T-code) motors that are either spark-proof or explosion-proof.

Restraint:

High cost and constant requirement of flexible magnetic fields

Although the permanent magnet rotor has a constant magnetic field, it requires a flexible magnetic field; therefore, to start, these motors need a power supply with a variable frequency. Permanent magnet synchronous motors need a drive to function; they are unable to perform it themselves. Compared to AC induction motors, permanent magnet motor solutions typically require more initial investment, making them more challenging to start. (Expensive magnets are permanent magnets, and their effectiveness is also reliant on the magnet's quality.)

Opportunity:

Technological developments

Due to the development of robotic and automation technologies in various industries, the need for integrated servo and brushless explosion-proof motors has expanded as a result of technical advancements. The majority of these robotics and automation tasks are performed in environments that could be explosive, which is driving the industry. As instantaneous overcurrent is frequently the result of fault conditions, there is an increasing demand for devices that protect against thermal overload. Motor protection relays used in high-voltage areas include time-overcurrent and bimetallic overload switches. Such relays offer a number of characteristics, including short circuit protection, locked rotor protection, etc.

Threat:

Challenges in manufacturing

The main challenge the market faces is the ability to manufacture starters that can resist even the most severe conditions and corrosive environments. Rising temperatures in hazardous areas might cause unexpected challenges for industrial management. These elements are hindering the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact:

The demand for and supply of hazardous area motor starters were impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Lockdowns across the world, issues with the supply chain, and fluctuating raw material supplies led businesses to halt output, which unfortunately hampered market growth. However, there were instant shutdowns, limitations on travel, restaurant closures, and restrictions on all indoor and outdoor events.

The coal preparation plants segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Over the course of the estimation period, the coal preparation plants segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share. An important portion of the market is made up by the segment of coal preparation plants. The market's expansion is linked to rising per capita income and private sector investment. Growing demand for coal is driving the market and the expansion of various coal plants. However, to remove potential ignition sources and supply suitable equipment, every component of machinery and electrical equipment inside the enclosed coal storage space or structure has been given approval for use in hazardous situations. These elements are boosting the segment's growth.

The oil refineries segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Oil refineries segment is expected to have productive growth over the projection period. Many oil refining operations throughout the world are expanding as a result of rising dependence on oil products. For instance, the Asia-Pacific area has experienced a large increase in demand from the petroleum industry. The majority of oil refineries are substantial, sprawling industrial complexes with an enormous number of pipelines delivering streams of fluids between large chemical processing units for immediate distillation columns.

Region with largest share:

Due to the discovery of new oil and gas reserves in this region, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to have the largest share of the worldwide market over the extrapolated period. In the area, there have been a substantial number of mergers and acquisitions, which has resulted in an enormous amount of drilling and exploratory activities in hazardous regions. This has increased the need in this area for motors and motor starters. The need for soft starters, which are utilized in motors as a form of protection, is projected to grow in the Asia-Pacific region.

Region with highest CAGR:

Due to the region's growing industrialization, which is especially evident in its emerging economies like China and India, it is anticipated that the use of motor starters in a variety of applications will experience rapid growth over the course of the anticipated period in the Asia-Pacific region. Additionally, one of the largest refinery complexes in the world is located in Jamnagar, India, and is owned by the Reliance Group. However, the refinery's requirement for safety and explosion-proof motors is fueling the market's expansion.

Key players in the market:

Some of the key players in Hazardous Location Motor Starters market include ABB Group, Benshaw, Crompton Greaves, Durable Machinery Company, Eaton Corporation, EIC Solutions, Inc., Emerson Industrial Automation, Friedrich Air Conditioning co., ltd , GE Industrial Solutions, General Electric, Heatrex Inc, Honeywell, Johnson controls, Inc., Klinge Corporation, Kooltronic, Inc., Leviton, Matticks Industries, Inc., Mersen, NANCE International, Inc., Panasonic, R. Stahl Inc., Rittal, Rockwell Automation , Safe Air Technology, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Siemens-Schaltgerate , Square d, TE Connectivity, WEG Industries and Weidmuller.

Key Developments:

In February 2022, ABB launched NMK 630L4A 5000 KW 11000V ABB high voltage induction motor 1492 RPM 50HZ. ABB's engineered motors for low-voltage variable speed drive range of up to 2240 kW. Modular slip-ring motors, a type of NMK available for heavy load inertia applications slip-ring motors, are an ideal solution for applications that require high starting torque and low starting current. They are especially suitable for rich load inertia applications like mill drives or weak network conditions.

In January 2022, Franklin Electric acquired Groundwater Distribution company. The acquisition boosts the overall competency to meet the tough water demands of Latin America and also offers solutions of groundwater pumping systems for submersible motors and submersible water pumps, as the usage of clean water unlocks the doors for motor starters market growth.

In November 2021, The acquisition of GE Industrial Solutions enhanced the ABB Electrification Services Offerings. Earlier, ABB'S Service had fewer than 30 field engineers present for low- and medium-voltage power distribution systems. GE's offering services are extensive, with more than 250 field engineers. In a way, this acquisition scaled both the companies in innovating the power delivery equipment operating under low and medium voltages with the advanced technologies.

In February 2019, Danfoss company demonstrated how its VLT Automation Drive can be used to perform condition monitoring using technologies such as external vibration sensors and load-envelope monitoring. These functions convert the drive into an "intelligent sensor" that detects problems at an early stage and identifies them before they cause downtime.
