Industrial Motors Global Market Report 2026

Industrial motors are electric motors designed to power machinery and equipment in industrial environments. Built for durability and high efficiency, these motors are capable of operating in demanding conditions and supporting continuous, heavy-duty use. They play a crucial role in boosting productivity, reducing manual labor, and enhancing overall operational efficiency across industries.

The primary products in the industrial motors market are alternating current (AC) motors and direct current (DC) motors. An AC motor is powered by alternating current. Sales channels for these motors include direct sales to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), direct sales to end-users, distributors to end-users, distributors to OEMs, direct sales to system integrators, and distributors to system integrators. These motors are used in various applications, such as compressors, pumps and fans, conveyors, crushers, extruders, and others. Key end-users span across sectors such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), food and beverage, power generation, warehousing, mining and metal processing, paper and paperboard, automotive, oil and gas, packaging, and more.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are affecting the industrial motors market by increasing the cost of imported copper windings, electrical steel laminations, power electronics, and bearings. Manufacturing and energy-intensive industries in North America and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported motors, while Asia-Pacific exporters face pricing challenges. These tariffs are increasing procurement costs and delaying motor upgrades. However, they are also encouraging localized motor manufacturing, regional supply chain development, and innovation in high-efficiency motor technologies.

Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for energy-efficient motors, expansion of automation equipment, adoption of variable speed drives, integration of smart motor monitoring, rising use in heavy industries.

The increasing industrialization is expected to drive the growth of the industrial motors market. Industrialization refers to the transformation of an economy from being primarily agricultural to one focused on manufacturing goods and services. This trend is accelerating due to the rising global demand for manufactured products, which in turn is boosting investments in factories and production infrastructure to meet consumption needs and economic objectives. Industrial motors play a key role in this process by powering machinery and enabling automation, which enhances productivity and efficiency in manufacturing operations. For instance, Trading Economics reported in December 2024 that Saudi Arabia's industrial production grew by 5.0% year-on-year in October 2024, following a 0.4% increase in September. Therefore, the ongoing industrialization is fueling the growth of the industrial motors market.

Leading companies in the industrial motors market are focusing on developing innovative products with advanced technologies, such as permanent magnet synchronous reluctance (PMSynRM) technology, to improve energy efficiency, reduce operational losses, and enhance performance across various speeds and loads. PMSynRM combines permanent magnets and synchronous reluctance, optimizing efficiency by minimizing energy losses and improving torque density, making it ideal for high-performance, energy-efficient industrial applications. For example, in May 2024, WEG Industries, a Brazil-based company specializing in motors and generators, launched the W23 Sync+ ULTRA motor. This innovative motor features a hybrid design that integrates permanent magnet (PM) technology, ferrite or neodymium magnets, and synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor technologies, delivering exceptional efficiency across all speeds. The W23 Sync+ ULTRA boasts an IE6 efficiency rating, representing a 20% reduction in energy losses compared to IE5 motors.

In December 2024, ABB Ltd, a Switzerland-based automation company, acquired Aurora Motors for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, ABB aims to strengthen its NEMA Motors Division by integrating Aurora Motors' specialized vertical pump motor portfolio, expanding its global presence, and enhancing its supply chain and customer support. This strategic move supports ABB's goal for profitable growth and solidifies its position as a market leader in industrial electric motors. Aurora Motors, based in the U.S., is known for manufacturing NEMA premium efficiency inverter-duty motors.
