Market Dynamics

Key Market Drivers

Government regulations have increased the demand for energy efficiency 

Given the substantial technological breakthroughs in the present period, electric motors may be produced for a wide range of industries, including automotive, construction, agriculture, and other industrial sectors. Every industrial company's main objective nowadays is to increase production efficiency. As industrial engineers are well aware, motor consumption can put a strain on a company's operating budget. Operating the motor accounts for between 70% and 90% of the motor's total life-cycle cost, depending on the price of power per kilowatt-hour. Energy consumption has a significant impact on the cost of an electric motor's life cycle. The average lifespan of an electric motor is 20 years, during which time its energy consumption covers nearly 90% of the whole life-cycle cost. As it becomes older, its energy consumption rises, resulting in greater operational costs. This necessitates the replacement of old, inefficient motors with new, more energy-efficient motors, resulting in an increase in demand for industrial motors. As a result, the use of energy-efficient motors can help businesses cut costs and boost productivity, resulting in increased market potential.

Green Transition towards Electric Vehicles 

Environmental concerns are rising are people are becoming more aware about sustainability and hence Electric vehicles have benefited greatly from European government policies. Many European countries have seen the effects, with electric vehicles accounting for a large fraction of the total automobile population. Because of their supportive government policies, Norway and France are well positioned to lead the electric vehicle market and with increase in demand of electric vehicles, industrial motor demand will also get accelerated.

Key Market Restraints

Temperature sensitive motors

EV batteries are similar to Goldilocks porridge in that they are either too hot or too cold, but somewhere in the middle is just right.

Extreme heat can hasten the depreciation of an electric vehicle's battery pack, while extreme cold might reduce the vehicle's range. As a result, you'll need to be more aware of the temperatures your EV is exposed to, as direct sunlight or freezing temps will only harm it and this impede the growth of both E Vehicles and industrial motors.

Key Market Opportunities

  • Impact of covid-19

    The automotive industry is critical to the economy's growth. However, during the second and third quarters of 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the whole automotive supply chain, affecting new car sales in FY 2020.

    South America is most affected by COVID-19, with Brazil leading the way, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina. South America's government (SAM) has taken a number of steps to protect its citizens and stem the spread of COVID-19. South America is expected to have fewer export revenues as commodity prices fall and export volumes fall, particularly to China, Europe, and the United States, which are all significant trading partners. The manufacturing industry, especially automotive manufacturing, has been damaged by containment measures in various South American countries. Due to the pandemic, major automotive manufacturers have also temporarily halted manufacturing in the region as a cost-cutting move. Furthermore, the automobile disc brake industry has been significantly affected in 2020 due to a lack of raw materials and supply chain disruption.

    The Automotive Brake System control module of a vehicle is meant to alert the driver with a warning light if the system fails. The module itself is rarely defective; instead, the sensors or the wiring to the sensors are frequently defective. The most typical cause of dysfunction is when the Automotive Brake System is contaminated with particles or metal shavings. There is no signal continuity when sensor wiring is destroyed. Brake fluid becomes contaminated in corrosive situations, and the hydraulic unit fails to function.
