GROWTH DRIVERS:
The inner rotor segment dominated the market with a share of more than 60% in 2024. This dominance is due to the higher power density and compact design of inner rotor BLDC motors, which makes them ideal for applications that demand efficient torque delivery and space-efficient configurations.
Speed: Market Insights
The 2,001–10,000 RPM segment led the brushless DC motor market in 2024. This speed range is well-suited for applications in electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and automotive components. With the continued expansion of the EV market, the demand for motors within this RPM range is also rising.
Output Power: Market Insights
In 2024, the less than 750-watt segment led the market in revenue, accounting for almost half of the total market. High-efficiency BLDC motors are becoming increasingly important thanks to their extended operational life, minimal maintenance requirements, low energy consumption, and greater tolerance to voltage fluctuations. Additionally, growing demand for BLDC motors in agricultural machinery, particularly in China and India, is further driving product adoption.
End Use: Market Insights
The consumer electronics segment is projected to hold the largest market share, driven by increasing demand for energy-efficient, high-performance motors in electronic home appliances. Brushless DC motors provide precise control and low noise levels, making them indispensable for a wide range of consumer electronics applications and contributing to the segment’s strong market presence.
Regional: Market Insights
The Asia Pacific holds the largest share in the global brushless DC (BLDC) motor market due to rapid industrialization, built-up manufacturing refinement, and heightened demand from major sectors like automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial automation. The presence of electronics and automotive sectors in a high manufacturing capability like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, where energy-efficient motor solutions such as BLDC motors are critical, has ensured strong growth. Surging use of electric vehicles (EVs), extensive adoption of smart home technologies, and increasing investments in renewable energy infrastructure are drivers of growth expected to further boost demand for BLDC motors in the region. Factors such as existing leading manufacturers in major markets, low-cost production operations, and supportive government incentives for energy efficiency and industrial development, are further solidifying Asia Pacific’s dominant position.
China is the largest contributor to the BLDC motor market in Asia Pacific, driven by its massive electric vehicle (EV) production, large-scale consumer electronics manufacturing, and strong industrial automation sector. The government’s aggressive push for clean energy and e-mobility—through subsidies and policies—further fuels demand for BLDC motors, which are known for their energy efficiency and reliability.
