In 2022, the fractional horsepower (FHP) output segment generated the largest revenue share in the market. Many household appliances, like blenders, food processors, and vacuum cleaners, use fractional horsepower electric motors. These motors are designed to provide sufficient power for the specific task without consuming excessive energy. Some small machinery and tools, including bench grinders, small lathes, and band saws, use FHP motors. These motors are suitable for hobbyists and small-scale applications. Fractional horsepower pumps are used in applications like circulating hot water in hydronic heating systems or moving water in small aquariums. The use of FHP motors is common in situations where the power requirements are relatively low and where efficiency and cost-effectiveness are priorities. These motors are available in various power ratings, like 1/4 hp, 1/3 hp, and 1/2 hp, allowing designers and engineers to select the appropriate motor size for the specific application.

Type Outlook

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into AC motor, DC motor, hermetic motor. The DC motor segment garnered a significant revenue share in the market in 2022. DC motors are commonly used as starter motors in internal combustion engine vehicles, providing the initial rotational force needed to start the engine. Many machine tools, such as lathes and milling machines, use DC motors to control rotational speeds and cutting operations. DC motors are often used in robotic arms and actuators, providing precise and controlled movements. DC motors are used in vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances, and power tools for various functions. DC motors are used in multiple laboratory devices, such as centrifuges and shakers, where precise control over rotation is required.
