Moreover, environmental concerns, a rise in demand for electric vehicles, and energy regulations by authorities across the globe are propelling the growth of the electronically commutated motors market. Electronically commutated motors are used in fractional horsepower applications as they consume less electricity and less heat which helps air-conditioners and refrigeration systems to operate more efficiently.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Product Type
Based on product type, the market is divided into constant airflow, constant torque, and constant speed. The constant airflow segment is holding a major market share in 2023. They are highly efficient, reduce the air noise, and provide a soft start/stop. Constant torque motor technology is growing quickly as it offers many advantages like efficiency, operation, comfort, and cost. They are positioned in mid-tier product offerings and are used in motors, air handlers, and packaged products. Constant speed electronically commutated motors are designed to operate at a specific speed as decided by power supply frequency.
Insight by Motor Type
Based on motor type, the market is segmented into brushless DC motors, permanent magnet AC (PMAC) motors, and servo motors. The brushless DC motors account for the largest market share as they provide less noise, are more efficient, have less power consumption, are long-lasting, and have a high torque torque-to-weight ratio.
The permanent magnet AC (PMAC) motor segment is expected to grow at a steady rate as it is used in the constant magnetic field. It has a small size and high power density. The maintenance cost, heat generation, and torque ripple are also low. Servo motors are mainly used in angular or linear positions having specific velocity, and acceleration.
Insight by Power Rating
Based on the power rating, the market is divided into 0-750W, 750W-3KW, 3KW-75KW, and above 75 KW. The 0–750W segment will have the major market share of the electronically commutated motors market during the forecast period.
Insight by Application
Based on application, the market is divided into HVAC (Residential and Commercial), consumer electronics, automotive, packaging, material handling, industrial machines, and others. Due to technology development in the electronically commutated motors market, it is widely used in HVAC (residential and commercial). There has been an increase in the usage of electronically commutated motors in many applications of various industries such as automotive, packaging, material handling, industrial machines, etc. This has led to electrical efficiency, facility to control, and explicit operation of motors. Thus, these factors will drive the growth of the electronically commutated motors market.

Industry Dynamics
Industry Trends
Manufacturers of electronically commutated motors are working on energy-efficient motors and fans which will be fulfilling the needs of various end-users. This will create a strong business in developed countries. There is an increase in demand for refrigeration supplies as a result manufacturers are increasing their production capacities to cater to the demand. Also, EC motors emit less carbon dioxide which is beneficial for the electronically commutated motors market. The industry is investing in research and development (R&D) for providing energy-efficient electronically commutated motors.
Growth Drivers
The growth driver for electronically commutated motors is efficiency, low maintenance cost, long life span, and controllability. Electronically commutated motors are used in heating, ventilation, the automobile sector, and air conditioning. The adoption of electronically commutated motors is increased due to their high efficiency, performance, controllability, and reliability. Environmental concerns, adoption of electric vehicles, and energy regulations by government authorities will allow the entry of new players in the global electronically commutated motors market.
Challenges
Electronically commutated motors are highly efficient, have low maintenance costs, have long life span, and are controllable. However, the development of substitutes is one of the challenges faced by the electronically commutated motors market. Smart synchronous permanent magnet motors are one of the challenges for the global electronically commutated motors market. This permanent magnet can control energy beyond its initial motor start-up. However, the electronically commutated motors require continuous conversion between AC and DC voltage power. This may hamper the market during the forecast period.
