Industrial Motors Market Report 2026

The industrial motors market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $20.2 billion in 2025 to $21.16 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial electrification, growth of manufacturing plants, demand for continuous operations, reliance on induction motors, mechanization of production processes.

The industrial motors market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.6 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to energy efficiency regulations, growth of electric mobility, adoption of smart factories, predictive maintenance demand, replacement of aging motors. Major trends in the forecast period include growing demand for energy-efficient motors, expansion of automation equipment, adoption of variable speed drives, integration of smart motor monitoring, rising use in heavy industries.

The increasing industrialization is expected to drive the growth of the industrial motors market. Industrialization refers to the transformation of an economy from being primarily agricultural to one focused on manufacturing goods and services. This trend is accelerating due to the rising global demand for manufactured products, which in turn is boosting investments in factories and production infrastructure to meet consumption needs and economic objectives. Industrial motors play a key role in this process by powering machinery and enabling automation, which enhances productivity and efficiency in manufacturing operations. For instance, Trading Economics reported in December 2024 that Saudi Arabia’s industrial production grew by 5% year-on-year in October 2024, following a 0.4% increase in September. Therefore, the ongoing industrialization is fueling the growth of the industrial motors market.

Leading companies in the industrial motors market are focusing on developing innovative products with advanced technologies, such as permanent magnet synchronous reluctance (PMSynRM) technology, to improve energy efficiency, reduce operational losses, and enhance performance across various speeds and loads. PMSynRM combines permanent magnets and synchronous reluctance, optimizing efficiency by minimizing energy losses and improving torque density, making it ideal for high-performance, energy-efficient industrial applications. For example, in May 2024, WEG Industries, a Brazil-based company specializing in motors and generators, launched the W23 Sync+ ULTRA motor. This innovative motor features a hybrid design that integrates permanent magnet (PM) technology, ferrite or neodymium magnets, and synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor technologies, delivering exceptional efficiency across all speeds. The W23 Sync+ ULTRA boasts an IE6 efficiency rating, representing a 20% reduction in energy losses compared to IE5 motors.

In December 2024, ABB Ltd, a Switzerland-based automation company, acquired Aurora Motors for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, ABB aims to strengthen its NEMA Motors Division by integrating Aurora Motors’ specialized vertical pump motor portfolio, expanding its global presence, and enhancing its supply chain and customer support. This strategic move supports ABB’s goal for profitable growth and solidifies its position as a market leader in industrial electric motors. Aurora Motors, based in the U.S., is known for manufacturing NEMA premium efficiency inverter-duty motors.
