Motor control integrated circuits (ICs) are specialized semiconductor devices designed to efficiently and accurately drive and control electric motors. By consolidating various control functions onto a single chip, they reduce the need for discrete components, simplifying the design of motor control systems.
The primary types of motor control ICs include brushed DC motor control ICs, brushless DC motor control ICs, and stepper motor control ICs. A brushed DC motor control IC is a semiconductor device that manages the operation of a brushed DC motor by regulating power delivery. This enables directional control, speed adjustment (usually via PWM), and incorporates protective features such as overcurrent, thermal, and undervoltage safeguards. The control algorithms involved include vector control, field-oriented control, proportional integral derivative control, and direct torque control. These ICs have a wide range of applications across industries such as automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, healthcare, and more, and are utilized by various end-users, including original equipment manufacturers and the aftermarket.

The motor control ICs market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The motor control ICs market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.46 billion in 2024 to $5.90 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the increase in automotive production, the expansion of industrial automation, the rise in consumer electronics usage, the demand for energy-efficient appliances, and the growing need for electric power steering systems.
The motor control ICs market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.94 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. In the forecast period, growth is driven by the rise in electric vehicle production, the expansion of smart factories, the increasing adoption of robotics, a focus on energy conservation, and the widespread use of home automation solutions. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in semiconductor technology, innovations in integrated motor control solutions, the development of high-voltage motor drivers, technological progress, and the miniaturization of motor control ICs.
The growing adoption of electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the motor control ICs market. Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered entirely or partially by electricity, using electric motors for propulsion and typically relying on rechargeable batteries as their primary energy source, unlike traditional vehicles that use internal combustion engines powered by fossil fuels. The rise in EV adoption is largely driven by increasing environmental concerns, which are fueling consumer demand and encouraging government incentives for cleaner, low-emission transportation alternatives. Motor control ICs are essential for EVs, as they precisely manage the electric motor's operation, ensuring efficient speed, torque, and power delivery. For example, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that global electric car sales increased from 14 million units in 2023 to 17 million in 2024, showing strong year-on-year growth. This surge in electric vehicle adoption is, therefore, propelling the growth of the motor control ICs market.
Leading companies in the motor control ICs market are focusing on innovative technologies, such as 3-phase gate drivers, to improve efficiency and simplify motor control systems. A 3-phase gate driver is an integrated circuit designed to control the switching of high-side and low-side transistors (typically MOSFETs or IGBTs) in a 3-phase motor. For instance, in June 2022, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturer, introduced the fully integrated MOTIX motor controller and a 3-phase gate driver designed to enhance the efficiency, performance, and reliability of electric vehicle motor systems. This system ensures smoother operation and greater energy savings. The 3-phase gate driver improves the switching performance of power transistors, guaranteeing efficient power delivery to the motor. Additionally, it includes built-in safety features such as overcurrent and overtemperature protection and supports a broad range of voltage levels. This integration offers space and cost savings, making it suitable for high-performance applications in electric vehicles, industrial automation, and renewable energy systems.
In October 2023, Allegro MicroSystems Inc., a U.S.-based semiconductor company, acquired Crocus Technology for $420 million. This acquisition allows Allegro to enhance its motor control and position sensing solutions by incorporating Crocus Technology's advanced tunnel magneto-resistance (TMR) sensing technology. The integration of TMR technology enables more precise and efficient sensor-based applications across automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics markets. Crocus Technology is known for its innovative motor control ICs, which utilize TMR technology for enhanced performance.
