Household appliances encompass a variety of mechanical or electrical devices used in homes to perform specific activities or operations. Fractional horsepower motors find application in household appliances by providing the necessary power while consuming less energy compared to larger motors, ensuring reliable operation for extended periods and powering appliances through numerous cycles. For example, a report published by Trend Economy, a Bulgaria-based information service company, in May 2023 revealed a 15.7% increase in sales of washing machines capable of both washing and drying between 2021 and 2022 in the USA. Consequently, the rising number of household appliances stands as a key driver for the growth of the fractional horsepower (FHP) motors market.

The growth of industrial automation is expected to propel the Fractional Horsepower (FHP) motors market during the forecast period. Automation trends in industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and electronics are driving the demand for compact, efficient, and reliable motors. FHP motors are commonly used in automated equipment, including conveyors, robotics, and precision machinery, thanks to their size and energy efficiency. For example, a report published by Nividous, a US-based intelligent automation company, revealed that in 2022, 43% of manufacturers were utilizing robotic process automation (RPA), while another 43% planned to initiate RPA projects. Additionally, a study conducted by Salesforce, an American cloud-based software company, indicated that over 90% of firms experienced an increase in demand for automation in the past two years. Consequently, the rise in industrial automation is fueling the growth of the fractional horsepower (FHP) motors market.

Major companies in the fractional horsepower (FHP) motor market are actively engaged in developing new products, such as electric motors, to gain a competitive advantage. An electric motor is a device that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy through the interaction of electric currents and magnetic fields. As an illustration, in July 2022, WEG S.A., a Brazil-based company operating in the electric engineering, power, and automation technology sectors, launched the W12 electric motor.
