Prominent Growth Drivers Influencing Micro Motor Market Growth

Versatility of micro motor to boost Global Market Demand

Market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by the versatility of micro motors, which are used in a wide range of applications in a variety of industries, including medical equipment, automotive, industry automation, aircraft systems, 3D printing, agriculture equipment, construction & mining equipment, and a few others. Micro motor versatility helps to spread out the danger of a recession in a given industry or sector, which tends to support the growth curve's upward tendency.

The electronics sector has seen exponential growth, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue for the next 10 years. Due to the wide range of uses for micro motors, the booming electronics sector is a clear indicator of future sales. Over the next ten years, the integration of micro motors into various electrical products is projected to boost demand. Additionally, since they use less power, they are frequently preferred by producers of electrical devices.

The demand for catheterization is dramatically rising due to rising hospital spending on patient care for cardiac illness and an increase in the number of patients receiving cardiac therapy. Governmental or private sector increases in healthcare spending are increasing the need for balloon catheters, which in turn is boosting micro motor sales proportionately. Thus, with such notable developments during the forecast period, the market for micro motors will see extreme demand.

Innovative technology to accelerate Micro Motors Uptake in the World

Micro motors' capacity to be integrated into small, intricate spaces with a variety of power sources from 5 volts to 48 volts, such as cutting-edge electrical and electronic components, is one of its most notable features. They are ideal for deployment in tiny spaces due to their lightweight and compact structure.

Due to its high torque density and combination of straightforward components, piezoelectric ultrasonic motors are regarded as high-performance motors. Piezoelectric ultrasonic motors have relatively high efficiency and power, and as the electronics sector expands, so will demand for these motors. With the rising demand for this technology, the demand for micro motors will boom during 2022-2032.

What Could Possibly Hinder Micro Motor Market Demand?

Smaller lifespan and high cost of raw materials to restrict Market Growth

Due to their negative influence on dependability, micro motors have a short lifespan, which makes it necessary to replace them more frequently. Repetitive motor replacement in various electronics and other equipment causes consumers to turn to well-known substitute items, which may potentially lower the market's annual revenue growth rate over the course of the projected period.

Over the previous five years, prospective suppliers have adjusted raw material prices while taking a variety of external factors into account. The overall cost of micro motors will increase as a result of a rise in the price of raw materials like copper and steel bearings.

Since the purchase of raw materials accounts for over 62% of the entire cost, persistently rising raw material costs may have a negative effect on the amount of micromotors sold. These are likely to stymie the growth of the micro motor market during the forecast period.
