The development process of the world’s electrical machinery products has always followed the development of industrial technology. The development process of motor products can be roughly divided into the following development stages: In 1834, Jacobi in Germany was the first to make a motor, and the motor industry began to appear; in 1870, the Belgian engineer Gramm invented the DC generator, and DC motors began to be widely used. Application; At the end of the 19th century, alternating current appeared, and then alternating current transmission was gradually widely used in industry; in the 1970s, many electronic devices appeared; MAC company proposed a practical permanent magnet brushless DC motor and drive system, the motor industry New forms have emerged one after another. After the 21st century, more than 6000 types of micromotors have appeared in the motor market; production bases in developed countries have gradually shifted to developing countries.

1. High-efficiency and energy-saving policies promote the rapid development of global industrial motors

The application of motors in today’s world is very wide, and it can even be said that there may be motors where there is movement. According to data disclosed by ZION Market Research, the global industrial motor market in 2019 was US$118.4 billion. In 2020, in the context of global reduction of energy consumption, the European Union, France, Germany and other countries and regions have introduced high-efficiency and energy-saving policies to promote the accelerated development of the global industrial motor industry. According to preliminary estimates, the global industrial motor market in 2020 is estimated to be 149.4 billion U.S. dollars.

2. The US, China, and European motor industry markets are relatively large

From the perspective of the scale and division of labor in the world’s motor market, China is the manufacturing area of ​​motors, and developed countries in Europe and the United States are the technology research and development areas of motors. Take micro special motors as an example. China is the world’s largest producer of micro special motors. Japan, Germany, and the United States are the leading forces in the research and development of micro special motors, and they control most of the world’s high-end, precise and new micro special motor technology. From the perspective of market share, according to the scale of China’s motor industry and the total scale of global motors, China’s motor industry accounts for 30%, and the United States and the European Union account for 27% and 20%, respectively.

Currently, the world’s top ten representative electrical companies are Siemens, Toshiba, ABB Group, Nidec, Rockwell Automation, AMETEK, Regal Beloit, Johnson Group, Franklin Electric and Allied Motion, most of which are located in Europe and the United States And Japan.

3. The global motor industry will transform towards intelligence and energy saving in the future

The electric motor industry has not yet realized the complete automation of the production and manufacturing process on a global scale. It still requires a combination of manpower and machines in winding, assembly and other processes. It is a semi-labour-intensive industry. At the same time, although the technology of ordinary low-voltage motors is relatively mature, there are still many technical thresholds in the fields of high-power high-voltage motors, motors for special environment applications, and ultra-high-efficiency motors.
