Motor Driver Integrated Circuit (IC) Global Market Report 2025

The motor driver integrated circuit (ic) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.98 billion in 2024 to $6.68 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to demand for consumer electronics, rise in industrial automation, growth of electric vehicles, expansion of robotics applications, and adoption of energy-efficient systems.

The motor driver integrated circuit (ic) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.75 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in electric and hybrid vehicles, demand for automation in industries, increasing use of home appliances, growing focus on energy conservation, and increasing popularity of drones. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in gallium nitride technology, developments in silicon carbide-based drivers, innovations in compact circuit designs, research and development in motor control, and integration of artificial intelligence.

The forecast of 12.6% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.7% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher prices for power regulation components, largely manufactured in China and Malaysia, increasing costs for drone and industrial automation systems. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing adoption of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the motor driver IC market in the future. Electric vehicles (EVs), which are powered fully or partially by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries instead of relying on internal combustion engines fueled by gasoline or diesel, are becoming more popular due to increasing environmental concerns. Both consumers and governments are eager to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lessen reliance on fossil fuels as part of efforts to combat climate change. Motor driver integrated circuits (ICs) are crucial in electric vehicles for managing motor functions efficiently, ensuring precise control over speed, torque, and direction to enhance performance and energy efficiency. For example, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electric car sales surged by about 25% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, a trend similar to the year-on-year growth seen in the first quarter of 2022. Consequently, the rising adoption of electric vehicles is significantly contributing to the growth of the motor driver IC market.

Leading companies in the motor driver IC market are concentrating on creating innovative solutions, such as power management ICs, to improve energy efficiency and enable compact, high-performance designs. Power management ICs (PMICs) are integrated circuits that oversee power distribution, voltage regulation, and sequencing, allowing motor driver ICs to operate efficiently and safely by ensuring a stable and optimized power supply. For example, in February 2024, Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited, a U.S.-based manufacturer, introduced the AOZ32063MQV, a compact 3-phase driver IC that incorporates advanced power management features such as high-side 100% duty cycle operation, an integrated bootstrap diode, and various protection functions to boost energy efficiency and prolong battery life in cordless power tools and e-mobility applications. The device accommodates a wide input voltage range of 5V to 60V, provides adjustable dead-time control, and features sleep mode functionality to reduce standby power consumption. These features make the AOZ32063MQV ideal for space-constrained, high-efficiency BLDC motor applications, allowing manufacturers to design smaller, more reliable motor control systems while lowering overall BOM costs and enhancing system performance.

In May 2024, MinebeaMitsumi, Inc., a Japanese manufacturer of mechanical components and electronic devices, acquired Hitachi Power Semiconductor Device, Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is aimed at reinforcing MinebeaMitsumi's position in the power semiconductor market by incorporating module fabrication capabilities, enabling vertical integration from chip development to production, and accelerating expansion into high-growth sectors such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, and industrial equipment. Hitachi Power Semiconductor Device, Ltd., a Japan-based semiconductor manufacturer, specializes in providing motor driver integrated circuits (ICs).

A motor driver integrated circuit (IC) is an electronic component used to control and power motors in applications such as robotics, automotive systems, and industrial machinery. It serves as a bridge between a low-power control system and a high-power motor, enabling precise control over speed, direction, and torque. These ICs support the efficient and safe operation of DC, stepper, and brushless motors.

The primary types of motor driver ICs include brushed DC motor driver ICs, brushless DC motor driver ICs, and stepper motor driver ICs. A brushed DC motor driver IC is designed to provide simple, reliable, and cost-effective control of brushed DC motors in basic motion applications. These ICs are produced using various technologies such as complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), bipolar, bipolar-CMOS (BiCMOS), gallium nitride (GaN), and silicon carbide (SiC). They offer features such as speed control, position control, and torque control, and are used in diverse applications including automotive, industrial automation, consumer electronics, healthcare, and more. They serve end users such as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and the aftermarket.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
