DC Drive Market

DC Drive Market: Introduction

A DC drive is an electronic device used to control & regulate the speed of a DC motor by varying the current flow through the motor. DC drives are mainly used in the manufacturing industry to control and regulate electronic devices such as fans, pumps, machine spindles and conveyers during the production processes.

One of the key advantages of DC drive is reduced energy consumption by regulating motor speed at variable loads. Moreover, DC drives increase the service life of the motor system and thereby reduce the associated operational cost.

DC drives increase the overall system reliability and reduce technology cost by delivering peak performance and integrated intelligence for maximum availability. DC drives are used across several industrial segments including oil & gas, power generations, chemicals, metal & mining and automotive.

DC Drive Market: Dynamics

Increasing demand for electricity and energy and rising cost of energy are expected to drive the growth of the DC drive market at a significant pace. Moreover, the advantages of using DC drives such as enhanced efficiency and reduced energy consumption are expected create a huge opportunity for the growth of the market in the years to come.

The increasing adoption of electronic vehicles is expected to further boost the demand for DC drives over the forecast period. Moreover, with the increasing adoption of automation and modernization in production and manufacturing industries, the demand for DC drives is expected to increase in the near future.

One of the key trends observed in the market is the increasing demand for end-to-end systems rather than stand-alone products. Additionally, market participants are offering tailored solutions for DC drive end-users. Application-specific DC drive offers more energy efficiency than general DC drives.

Some of the key challenges faced by DC drive market participants include the reducing profit margins, increasing raw material prices and increasing adoption of AC drives in industries, owing to lower operational and maintenance costs. However, the DC drives market is expected to be benefited by a large installed base of DC motors in the industrial sector.

Moreover, manufacturers across the DC drive market are focusing on the development of advanced design, modular energy efficient DC drives. For instance, in 2017, Danfoss Group launched “VLT FlexConcept Advanced”, a simple, modular and easy to install DC drive for the beverage industry.

DC Drive Market: Regional Outlook

Asia Pacific is expected to be the most prominent region in the global DC drive market. The region is expected to witness significant growth in the years to come, owing to high economic growth, coupled with increasing government initiatives and policies favoring the growth of the manufacturing sector.

The prominent driver for the growth of the DC drive market in Asia Pacific is rapid industrialization and urbanization, particularly in countries such as, China, India and ASEAN countries, among others. The North America DC drive market is expected to witness robust growth over the forecast period. The growth of the DC market in North America is driven by increasing investments in oil & gas, automotive and construction industries.
