Motor Control IC's Global Market Report 2026

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 ic's market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of electric vehicles, expansion of smart manufacturing, growth in robotics applications, rising demand for energy-efficient motors, development of advanced motor control ic architectures. Major trends in the forecast period include compact motor driver ics, energy-efficient motor control, multi-motor control integration, smart thermal management, high-voltage motor control solutions.

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 instance, in January 2024, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, a U.S.-based government agency, plug-in electric vehicles represented 9.8% of all light-duty vehicle sales in December 2023, increasing from 7.8% in December 2022. Throughout 2023, plug-in vehicles consistently accounted for at least 8% of monthly sales, whereas in 2022 their share fluctuated between 5.5% and 7.8%. This surge in electric vehicle adoption is, therefore, propelling the growth of the motor control ICs market.

Major companies in the motor control integrated circuits market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as compact and user-friendly controller ICs for small motors, to improve versatility, reliability, and ease of integration. A compact and user-friendly controller integrated circuit is a small electronic chip designed to control motors or devices while allowing engineers to easily implement and configure it across different applications. For example, in December 2023, Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc., a Japan-based semiconductor manufacturer, introduced the NA7200BE series, 3-phase BLDC motor controller ICs for general applications such as fans and small BLDC motors. The IC supports a wide supply voltage range of 6.3 V to 36 V and operates with low current consumption, ensuring energy-efficient performance for compact motors. It uses 120° commutation with external Hall sensor inputs to deliver precise three-phase BLDC motor control and features multiple protective functions, including overcurrent detection, thermal shutdown, undervoltage lockout, and lock protection with auto-release, making it a reliable and robust solution for fan and small motor applications.

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.
