For example, in June 2023, a report published by the International Council for Clean Transport (ICCT), a U.S.-based nonprofit research institute, noted that global electric vehicle (EV) sales reached 10 million in 2022, marking a 54% increase from 2021. China led the market with 6.2 million EVs sold (an 82% increase), accounting for 59% of global sales, followed by the U.S. with 994,000 EVs and Europe with 2.7 million EVs (a 15% increase), representing 25% of the global total. Therefore, the emergence of green vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) market in the coming years.

The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) market is poised for expansion due to the escalating construction spending. Construction projects, involving infrastructure and facility development, utilize PMSMs in construction equipment for precise speed and torque control. In August 2023, the U.S. Census Bureau reported an estimated seasonally adjusted annual rate for construction expenditure in the U.S. at $1.98 trillion, reflecting a 0.5% increase from the previous month. This growing investment in construction is a key driver for the permanent magnet synchronous motor market.

Technological advancements are a key trend among companies operating in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) market. The rapid development of permanent magnet (PM) manufacturing technologies has significantly improved the efficiency and output power of PM synchronous machines (PMSMs), leading to the adoption of direct-drive high-speed PMSMs instead of traditional mechanical gear transmission systems in various industrial sectors. For example, in August 2024, Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited (MLMML), an India-based manufacturer of electric three- and four-wheelers for last-mile mobility, launched the e-Alfa Plus electric rickshaw. This vehicle is powered by an advanced Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) that provides 1.95 kW of peak power and a maximum torque of 26.9 Nm, allowing for a real-world range of over 100 kilometers on a single charge. It is designed with durability and driver safety in mind, featuring an 18-month warranty, an advanced braking system, and a three-year accidental insurance policy for drivers, making it a reliable option for both urban and rural transportation needs.

Major companies in the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) market are introducing innovative solutions, such as automotive motor control technologies, to enhance efficiency and enable software-defined electric vehicles by optimizing motor control across various automotive applications, including pumps, fans, and comfort systems. Automotive Motor Control Solutions refer to advanced technologies designed to optimize the control and efficiency of electric motors in vehicles, improving performance, reducing energy consumption, and supporting diverse applications. For example, in November 2023, NXP Semiconductors, a Netherlands-based provider of semiconductor products, launched the S32M2 motor control solution. This solution integrates power, analog functions, and comprehensive software libraries to optimize the control of vehicle applications such as pumps, fans, and seat positioning systems, resulting in improved efficiency, reduced noise, and enhanced occupant comfort. It allows automakers to accelerate their time-to-market, lower costs, and maximize software reuse across the S32 vehicle compute platform, aiding the transition to software-defined vehicles.
