Fractional Horsepower (FHP) Motors Market Report 2026

The fractional horsepower (fhp) motors market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $16.55 billion in 2025 to $17.73 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of home appliance manufacturing, growth of hvac installations, rising demand for compact motors, increasing use of electric motors in vehicles, availability of low-cost motor manufacturing.

The fractional horsepower (fhp) motors market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.31 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of brushless dc motors, rising demand for energy-efficient appliances, expansion of electric vehicle auxiliary systems, growing integration of smart motor controllers, increasing automation in industrial equipment. Major trends in the forecast period include energy efficient motor designs, miniaturization of motor components, brushless motor adoption, smart motor integration in appliances, thermal performance optimization.

The rising number of household appliances is expected to drive the growth of the fractional horsepower (FHP) motors market. Household appliances include various mechanical and electrical devices used at home to perform specific tasks or operations. Fractional horsepower motors power these appliances by providing the required energy while consuming less power than larger motors, ensuring reliable operation over countless cycles. For example, in November 2023, the Association of Manufacturers of Domestic Appliances (AMDEA), a UK-based trade association, reported that over 15 million large appliances and more than 60 million small appliances were sold in the UK in 2023, with over 98% of households owning a fridge or fridge freezer, 89.5% owning a washing machine, 57% a coffee machine, and 49.5% a dishwasher. Thus, the growing adoption of household appliances is fueling the FHP motors market.

Key companies in the fractional horsepower motors market are focusing on advanced technologies, such as brushless direct current (BLDC) motors, to improve efficiency, reliability, and ease of installation. BLDC motors are electronically commutated motors with a permanent magnet rotor and a fixed stator controlled by an electronic controller, enabling precise speed and torque regulation while reducing friction and maintenance needs. For instance, in September 2025, Elnor Motors, a Belgium-based custom electric motor manufacturer, launched a Brushless DC Motor with Field Connectable Terminal Box. This BLDC solution simplifies field installation and enhances durability in industrial environments, offering customizable shaft and flange designs, optimized noise and vibration performance, and support for multiple mains. The product improves installation flexibility, operational efficiency, and long-term cost management for equipment manufacturers.

In December 2023, Magneto Movement, a US-based manufacturer specializing in motion control systems and components, announced its acquisition of Dumore Corporation for an undisclosed amount. This strategic decision aims to strengthen Magneto's capabilities in producing advanced motion control systems and components. Dumore Corporation is a US-based company that manufactures fractional horsepower motors.
