The Global Brushless DC Motor Market size is expected to reach $22.8 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period. The high adoption rate of electric vehicles arising from rising oil dependency issues, global warming, and environmental pollution is also likely to boost demand for the product. In addition, various government programs aimed at promoting the production and use of EVs will further stimulate demand. Brushless DC motors offer advantages such as lower rotor heat, higher efficiency, low maintenance costs, operating speed and peak point performance, and rapid response, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, particularly in electric and hybrid vehicles.
Brushless DC electric motors are synchronous motors powered by a power supply with DC charge. It produces AC power that controls the respective motor phase through a closed loop controller. It is also referred to as a commutated motor. The brushless motor system is similar to the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). It has a controller that provides motor windings with current pulses to control torque and pace. Electronic control, high power-to-weight ratio, and high speed are the factors that make a brushless DC motor superior to other motors. Handheld power tools, printers, computer peripherals, disk drives, and cars are some of the major applications. The brushless DC motors provide less wear and tear opposed to a conventional motor, reducing overall maintenance costs.
Based on Rotor Type, the market is segmented into Inner Rotor Brushless DC Motor and Outer Rotor Brushless DC Motor. The inner rotor category is expected to remain dominant in the market over the coming years. This dominant share is associated with its growth in industrial robots due to an increase in shifts towards automation and technological advances in industrial robots. Based on Voltage Type, the market is segmented into 0 -750 Watts BLDC Motor, 750 Watts to 3 kW BLDC Motor, 3 kW - 75 kW BLDC Motor and Others.
