Electric motors are widely used in today’s world, and it can even be said that wherever there is movement, there may be electric motors present. In recent years, with the development of power electronics technology, computer technology, and control theory, the global industrial motor market has experienced significant growth. With the emergence of new materials such as rare earth permanent magnet materials and magnetic composite materials, various new, efficient, and special motors have emerged one after another.
After the 21st century, more than 6000 types of micro motors have emerged in the motor market, and production bases in developed countries are gradually shifting to developing countries. In the past decade or so, due to the rapid increase in the international community’s emphasis on energy conservation, environmental protection, and sustainable development, the production of efficient motors has become a global direction for the development of industrial motors. By 2020, in the context of global energy reduction, the European Union, France, Germany and other countries and regions will introduce efficient and energy-saving policies, further promoting the accelerated development of the global industrial motor industry.
The motor industry in the United States, China, and Europe has a large market size
From the perspective of the division of labor in the global motor market, China is the manufacturing region of motors, while developed countries in Europe and America are the technology research and development areas of motors. Taking micro electric motors as an example, China is the world’s largest producer of micro electric motors, with Japan, Germany, the United States, and other leading forces in the research and development of micro electric motors, controlling most of the world’s high-end, precision, and new micro electric motor technologies.
From the perspective of market share, based on the scale of the Chinese motor industry and the total global motor scale, the Chinese motor industry accounts for 30% of the total, while the United States and the European Union account for 27% and 20% respectively.
The market prospects for motor automation production equipment are broad
Industrial motors are a key area for motor applications, and without efficient motor systems, advanced automated production lines cannot be built. It is reported that the electric motor industry has not yet fully automated its production and manufacturing processes globally, and a combination of manual and machine methods is still required in processes such as winding and assembly, making it a semi labor-intensive industry. But with the passing of the era of labor dividends, the labor-intensive industry of motor production is also increasingly facing common problems such as difficulty in recruiting and retaining employees in current enterprises. There are thousands of motor production enterprises across the country who have a desire to automate their production processes, which brings a good market prospect for the promotion of automated production lines for industrial motors.
In addition, facing the increasingly severe pressure of energy conservation and emission reduction, vigorously developing new energy vehicles has become a new focus of competition in the world automotive industry. With the development of the electric vehicle industry, there is also an increasing demand for drive motors. At present, many motor companies adopt the traditional production model of electric motors. The production difficulty of electric vehicle drive motors, especially the commonly used permanent magnet motors in China, has increased significantly (the magnetic force of permanent magnets is very large, leading to assembly difficulties and easily causing safety accidents for workers and equipment), and the requirements for product quality have also increased significantly. Therefore, if the automation production of electric vehicle drive motors can be achieved on a large scale, China will undoubtedly create a brilliant future in the field of drive motor body technology and motor automatic production equipment.
The motor industry will transform towards intelligence and energy conservation in the future
Meanwhile, although the technology of ordinary low-voltage motors is relatively mature, there are still many technical barriers in the fields of high-power high-voltage motors, special environmental application motors, and ultra-high efficiency motors. From the development trend of the global electric motor market, its main manifestations are as follows:
The industry is developing towards intelligence and integration: Traditional click manufacturing has achieved the cross integration of advanced electronic technology and intelligent control technology. The future trend of the motor industry is to continuously develop and optimize intelligent control technology for small and medium-sized motor systems used in the industrial field, and to achieve integrated design and manufacturing of motor system control, sensing, driving and other functions.
The development of products towards differentiation and specialization: Electric motor products have a wide range of supporting surfaces and are widely used in various fields such as energy, transportation, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, mining, and construction. With the continuous deepening of the global economy and the continuous improvement of technological level, the previous situation of using the same type of electric motor for different properties and occasions is being broken, and motor products are developing towards specialization, differentiation, and specialization.
The development of products towards efficiency and energy conservation: This year, relevant environmental policies worldwide have pointed out clear policy directions for improving the efficiency of motors and general motors. Therefore, the electric motor industry urgently needs to accelerate the energy-saving transformation of existing production equipment, promote efficient and green production processes, develop new generation energy-saving motors, motor systems and control products, testing equipment, etc. Improve the technical standard system for electric motors and systems, and focus on enhancing the core competitiveness of electric motors and system products.
At present, the top ten globally representative motor companies include Siemens, Toshiba, ABB Group, Nippon Electric, Rockwell Automation, AMETEK, Regal Beloit, Dechang Group, Franklin Electric, and Allied Motion, mostly located in Europe, the United States, and Japan. But after years of development, the domestic industrial motor industry has formed a group of large-scale motor enterprises. In order to cope with market competition under the globalization pattern, these enterprises have gradually shifted from “large and comprehensive” to “specialized and intensive”, further promoting the development of specialized production models in China’s industrial motor industry. In the future, driven by low-carbon and environmental protection policies, China’s industrial motors will also make every effort to develop towards green and energy-saving.
