Motion Control Drive Global Market Report 2024

The motion control drives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $6.48 billion in 2023 to $6.95 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to several factors, including heightened demand for compact drives, the proliferation of fulfillment centers, a greater emphasis on enhancing production quality and precision, the emergence of industry 4 initiatives, and an uptick in the demand for smart factories.

The motion control drives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.26 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The projected growth in the upcoming period is anticipated to stem from the increased adoption of automation across various industries, a rising demand for robots, the expansion of the logistics sector, the flourishing e-commerce landscape, and the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT). Key trends expected during this forecast period encompass the adoption of innovative technologies, the integration of IoT, a heightened focus on energy efficiency, the utilization of cloud-based motion systems, and the integration of artificial intelligence.

The anticipated surge in the adoption of automation in manufacturing is poised to drive the growth of the motion control drive market in the foreseeable future. Automation involves leveraging technology, machines, or systems to carry out tasks with minimal human intervention, thereby enhancing efficiency, precision, and consistency. This trend is driven by the increasing demand for efficiency, productivity, and quality control in manufacturing, alongside the growing need for customized products and the necessity to address labor shortages and supply chain disruptions. Motion control drives play a pivotal role in automating manufacturing processes by improving precision, efficiency, flexibility, and safety, leading to enhanced productivity, reduced costs, and superior quality in manufacturing operations. For example, in May 2023, as reported by the International Federation of Robotics, industrial robot installations in manufacturing surged by 12% overall in 2022, reaching a total of 41,624 units. Hence, the rise in automation adoption in manufacturing is a significant driver for the motion control market.

Key players in the motion control drive market are concentrating on developing innovative products such as distributed servos to cater to the escalating demand for precision, efficiency, and flexibility in automation across various industries. Distributed servo drives represent a motion control system wherein the servo drive electronics are positioned close to or integrated with the servo motor, rather than being centralized in a control cabinet. For instance, in July 2023, Rockwell Automation, a US-based manufacturer of motion control drives, introduced the ArmorKinetix Distributed Servo Drive, a compact and on-machine form factor. This drive enhances production machines' efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, offering advanced analytics, simplified installations, and integrated safety features, making it an appealing solution for manufacturers aiming to cut costs and boost productivity.

In May 2023, ABB Group, a Switzerland-based provider of electrification, robotics, automation, and motion solutions, acquired Siemens' Low-Voltage NEMA motor business for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition enables ABB Group to enhance its product portfolio and expand its supply chain relationships while improving support for its North American customer base. Siemens, a Germany-based company specializing in motor control drives, benefits from strengthened market presence and increased opportunities for growth.
