North American DC Integral Horsepower Motors Markets
Frost & Sullivan, May 2005
Improved DC Motor Designs Key to Sustaining Profit Margins and Customer Satisfaction
Manufacturers of direct current (DC) motors have substantially increased their prices following the global hike in the prices of raw materials such as steel, aluminum, and copper. They are striving to balance out this cost escalation with productivity improvement to retain customer interest. To achieve this, manufacturers are looking to enhance DC motor designs that help cut down the amount of raw materials required in the manufacturing process without compromising on product quality. This will ensure customer satisfaction and aggressively expand customer base.
This Frost & Sullivan research service analyzes the North American market for DC integral horsepower (IHP) motors, segmenting it into wound field, permanent magnet DC (PMDC), brushed, and brushless motors. It discusses the various market trends and opportunities while providing market share analysis, forecasts, market drivers, restraints, and revenues. The study enables companies to align their positioning strategies to benefit from the changing market and obtain maximum return on investment.
A Buoyant Global Economy Encourages Demand for DC Motors
The gradual recovery of the global economy has aided the growth of the DC motors market to a large extent. This favorable business climate is fueling demand for original equipment manufacturers’ (OEM) products, which, in turn, is encouraging OEM investment in DC motors.
Most manufacturers are enjoying increased sales, some even double-digit growth as the scenario of the economy unfolds positively, says the analyst of this research. A few DC motor plants that were closed down or were operating below capacity have come back on line to supply the demand from OEMs that have started investing in the maintenance and upgrades of their facilities.
Popularity of Brushless Motors and Demand from Specialized Sectors Boost DC IHP Motor Market
The brushless DC motors segment is poised for significant market growth due to product advantages of low maintenance levels, quieter as well as smoother operation, and cost effectiveness. These exceptional benefits are likely to help it outstrip the brushed PMDC motors market segment.
Furthermore, DC motors offer greater levels of control and efficacy over alternating current (AC) motors in applications such as industrial (material handling, hydraulic pump drives) and traction (hydraulic lifts, battery-operated vehicles), notes the analyst. Such varied efficiency ensures DC motors’ presence in niche end-user markets.
