Medium and high power motors are electric motors with power ratings ranging from 10 horsepower to several thousand horsepower. These motors are critical in industrial applications, where they power heavy machinery, compressors, and pumps. Their ability to handle high torque and operate continuously makes them ideal for large-scale infrastructure and power generation projects.
The primary products in the medium and high power motors market include alternating current (AC) motors and direct current (DC) motors. An AC motor is an electric motor that operates using alternating current electricity. The market encompasses various output powers, including medium and high power motors, serving end-user industries such as motor vehicle manufacturers, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) producers, industrial machinery, aerospace, other transportation sectors, commercial industries, 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 impacting the medium and high power motors market by increasing the cost of imported copper windings, laminations, bearings, power electronics, and motor housings. Industrial machinery, HVAC, and power generation sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported motor components, while Asia-Pacific exporters face margin pressure. These tariffs are raising equipment costs and slowing replacement cycles. However, they are also encouraging localized motor manufacturing, regional supply chains, and innovation in high-efficiency and digitally monitored motor technologies.

The medium and high power motors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.88 billion in 2025 to $7.28 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial electrification, infrastructure development, heavy machinery usage, motor-driven process expansion, power generation projects.
The medium and high power motors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to energy efficiency mandates, EV manufacturing growth, smart factory adoption, predictive maintenance demand, renewable energy infrastructure. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for energy-efficient motors, growth of high-power industrial applications, adoption of variable speed drives, expansion of electrified infrastructure projects, integration of smart motor monitoring.
The increasing demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the medium and high-power motors market. This surge in demand is largely driven by growing concerns over environmental pollution. Electric vehicles (EVs) produce zero tailpipe emissions, making them vital for reducing air pollution and minimizing reliance on fossil fuels. To meet the performance requirements of electric vehicles, particularly in the heavy-duty and high-performance segments, medium and high-power motors are essential. These motors provide the necessary torque and power, improving vehicle efficiency, speed, and reliability under demanding conditions. For example, according to Road Genius, an Australia-based licensed interstate freight carrier, electric vehicle sales in the country reached 85,329 units by September 2024, including 69,895 Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and 15,424 Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). Additionally, in 2023, total EV sales reached 98,409 units, reflecting a 60% increase from the previous year. As a result, the rising demand for electric vehicles is fueling the growth of the medium and high-power motors market.
Leading companies in the medium and high-power motors market are focusing on the development of next-generation E-motors to enhance power density, improve thermal management, and meet the evolving needs of electric mobility and industrial automation. These next-generation E-motors are designed to provide higher efficiency, reduced size and weight, and better integration with modern power electronics and control systems. For instance, in January 2024, Magna International, a Canada-based manufacturing company, introduced its Magna eDrive, a next-generation 800-volt E-motor. This advanced eDrive solution offers superior efficiency, an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, and increased torque density, with improved thermal management and optimized energy usage.
In March 2024, Siemens AG, a Germany-based automation company, acquired Ebm-papst for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition strengthens Siemens' position in factory automation by integrating Ebm-papst's low-voltage intelligent mechatronic drive systems into its Xcelerator portfolio. The move enhances Siemens' capabilities in battery-powered drive solutions for intralogistics and mobile robotics, opening up new growth opportunities and expanding its global market access. Ebm-papst, a German manufacturer, is known for producing high-quality electric motors.
