Advancements in motor technology, changing production methods, and evolving industry requirements are reshaping the way micro motors are designed and manufactured. The shift from brushed DC motors to brushless DC (BLDC) motors represents a major technological transition, driven by the improved efficiency, longer lifespan, and reduced maintenance needs of BLDC systems. As semiconductor costs decline and large-scale production increases, BLDC motors are becoming more cost-effective for automotive applications. Expanding manufacturing capacity across global motor producers is further enhancing availability and lowering overall production expenses, supporting broader adoption of advanced motor technologies throughout the automotive sector.
Multiple leading BLDC motor manufacturers, including NIDEC, Johnson Electric, and Buhler Motor, have increased their production capabilities to meet rising demand from automakers. This includes the establishment of additional facilities dedicated to supplying micro motors for automotive applications, reinforcing the industry's transition toward newer motor technologies.
The brushed DC motors segment accounted for a 45% share in 2025 and is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% from 2026 to 2035. These motors remain widely used in various vehicle components, including window systems, mirror positioning, and seating mechanisms, especially within cost-sensitive vehicle categories. However, their mechanical commutation creates inherent performance limitations.
The 12V-24V motor category held a 37% share in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.5% through 2035. This voltage range remains the most common for automotive micro motor applications, supporting functions such as power windows, seat adjustments, sunroofs, and basic blower systems. The standard operating voltages for these motors continue to be 12V and 24V.
