Electric Motors Market for Household Appliances is Projected to Witness 5.27% CAGR by 2030

Pune, India, May 2023 ,MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a Cooked Research Report on the Global Electric Motors Market for Household Appliances.

Market Highlights

The Global Electric Motors Market for Household Appliances has been segmented by type as AC motors and DC motors. AC motors are driven by AC power supply, where pairs of alternating electromagnetic coils of the motor are energized by the AC power supply to induce rotary motion in the motor. AC motors are lighter in comparison to other types of motors available in the market, which leads to a high demand for AC motors in home appliances. This is primarily due to the fact that a lighter motor in the appliance will reduce the overall weight of the product. DC motors have a number of advantages over other types of motors, including smooth & quiet operation and lesser heat dissipation. Such features drive the demand for DC motors for home appliances. Further, the development of brushless DC motors that have longer life in comparison to AC motors and is expected to drive the growth of the market. Electricity supply to most homes involves AC, and the electrical appliances are fitted with inverters to convert the supplied AC to DC to run the DC motors of the appliances.

By voltage, the global electric motors market for household appliances is segmented into up to 50 V, 50 V–120 V, and above 120 V. Some of the major electric motors for household appliances included in the segment are electric fans, wash dryers, and range hoods. Electric motors in up to 50 V segment can operate as the primary driver in electric fans, while it can also support auxiliary functions in larger home appliances such as refrigerators and wash dryers. The 50 V – 120 V segment includes a wide range of motors based on their construction, including shaded pole motors and brushless motors. The segment is poised to witness high growth during the forecast period, primarily due to increasing applications of brushless motors in home appliances, due to their long life. The above 120 V segment is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period, primarily due to the increasing demand for home appliances in the developing countries such as China and India.

By output power, the global market has been segmented into up to 500 W and above 500 W. The segment up to 500 W includes home appliances that have an output power below 500 W. Some of the major electric motors for household appliances included in the segment are wash dryers, fan, and range hoods. The segment is poised to witness substantial growth during the forecast period, primarily due to increased demand for products with up to 500 W of output power in the emerging economies in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East & Africa. Above 500 W segment covers home appliances that have an output power of more than 500 W. Some of the major electric motors for household appliances included in the segment are ovens, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, tumble dryers, and dishwashers.

By application, the global electric motors market for household appliances has been segmented into refrigerator, ovens, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, electric fan, dishwasher, range hood, tumble dryer, wash dryer, and freezer. A refrigerator consists of a heat pump that transfers heat from inside of the refrigerator to its external environment so that the temperature inside the refrigerator remains low as well as it consists of a thermally insulated compartment. Ovens are thermally insulated chambers, primarily used for cooking. Electric motors are used in ovens to generate heat and circulate the heat in the ovens. Ovens can operate with both AC and DC motors and are selected based on the size and application of the oven. Electric motors in most vacuum cleaners typically draw 7 to 12 amperes (amps) of current from the electrical power source for household electrical outlet. To improve the operational capabilities, internal radial clearance is used to meet the needs of high speed and low vibration in vacuum cleaner.

Drivers: Global electric motors market for household appliances 

Market Research Analysis
