  Increased production of electric vehicles drives market growth.

  
  

The market for electric cars has quickly developed due to continual advancements in the automotive industry and advantageous government policies and support in the form of grants, subsidies, and tax breaks. Induction motors, particularly three-phase induction motors, are frequently used in electric vehicles due to their high efficiency, good speed regulation, and lack of commutators, which is considered to be a key factor in the market's growth. 

Additionally, in electric cars, these motors can be used in place of permanent magnets. Thus, it is predicted that increased manufacturing of electric vehicles will propel the market CAGR for induction motors.

Additionally, the governments of numerous nations have made significant investments in the advancement of electric automobiles. The German government has promised to invest more than $3 billion in the region's electric vehicle sector in 2019. Therefore, throughout the projection period of 2022–2032, these investments and innovations are considered to be the primary drivers of the growth of the electric vehicle market and, consequently, the growth of the induction motor market.

Another factor drives induction motors. Induction motors are used in a wide range of industrial applications that are critical to the business's efficiency. These motors are frequently utilised as a component of pumps, hoists, lifts, electric shavers, cranes, crushers, and other oil extraction apparatus because they are inexpensive, durable, maintenance-free, and operable in any environment. The need for induction motors is expected to rise further as manufacturing and industrial activities expand.

According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), the world's manufacturing sector increased output by 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2022. In October 2022, industrial production in the United States increased 3.3% year on year, following a 2.4% gain in manufacturing. Rising industrial and manufacturing output would enhance demand for induction motors, boosting overall market growth during the anticipated period.

February 2024

World-first liquid-cooled IE5 SynRM induction motor from ABB establishes energy efficiency and power output standards.

ABB launched a new version of its IE5 SynRM (synchronous reluctance motor) series that combines ultra-high energy efficiency with liquid cooling, a global first. The innovative design redefines great power and dependability in a small package.

In new projects or as drop-in replacements for less efficient motors, IE5 SynRM Liquid-cooled motors may reduce energy expenditures and emissions. They fit maritime propulsion, rubber and plastics, and food and beverage sectors.

The IE5 SynRM Liquid-cooled motors are more efficient than conventional liquid-cooled induction motors and give room for energy-saving technologies. The cost of energy to power an electric motor during its life accounts for 97% of its total cost of ownership (TCO), with the purchase cost accounting for 2%. Energy efficiency is key to optimizing TCO. Common IE3 motors lose 40% more energy than IE5 motors. Selecting an IE5 motor over an IE3 motor frequently pays for itself in less than a year.

Highly efficient cooling, the cool SynRM rotor, and cooling ribs on the bearing assembly lower bearing operating temperatures, improving reliability. This extends the life of this crucial component and reduces maintenance.

With tight seals and a smooth exterior, the motors are durable. This makes them ideal for maritime propulsion systems and thrusters that need great power density in a small size. Since the motors don't require fans or ventilation, they don't disrupt the air or emit heat. Airflow-sensitive operations like rubber and plastics manufacture and chocolate conche machines benefit greatly from this. Motors without fans reduce noise, improving the workplace.

Stefan Floeck, ABB Division President IEC Low Voltage Motors, says: “ABB pioneered SynRM technology and liquid cooling for induction motors. After combining them, our IE5 SynRM Liquid-cooled motor gives clients ultra-premium efficiency in more applications. We launched our IE5 SynRM Increased Safety motor for hazardous places, and this is another world-first for this series.”
