The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growth of electric vehicle adoption, rising integration of motors in vehicle comfort and safety systems, increasing demand for high performance traction motors, advancements in amorphous and high efficiency steel materials, automation of motor manufacturing processes. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for high efficiency motor cores, growing adoption of lightweight electrical steel laminations, increasing use of precision stamping technologies, shift toward low loss and high silicon steel materials, rising integration of laminations in advanced automotive motors.

An increase in vehicle sales is expected to drive the growth of the motor lamination market going forward. Vehicle sales refer to commercial transactions in which ownership of automobiles is transferred from sellers to buyers in exchange for payment. Rising vehicle sales underscore the growing challenges associated with meeting demand for efficient motor lamination solutions amid evolving regulatory standards and sustainability considerations. Vehicles use motor lamination to improve the efficiency and performance of electric motors, supporting essential functions such as propulsion, steering, and auxiliary systems. For example, in December 2023, according to the National Automobile Dealers Association, a US-based automotive trade organization, sales of new light vehicles reached 15.8 million units in 2022 and 15.46 million units in 2023, representing 12.4% growth from 2022 to 2023. Therefore, the increase in vehicle sales is fueling the motor lamination market.

Leading companies in the lamination market are prioritizing the development of advanced products, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), to improve accuracy, efficiency, and user control. The GD20 VFD, for instance, is a vector control drive that regulates motor speed and torque with high precision, essential for consistent paper feeding and accommodating various speeds in lamination. In March 2024, INVT (Shenzhen INVT Electric Co. Ltd.), a China-based company specializing in industrial automation, energy, and power electronics, introduced lamination solutions designed for accuracy and efficiency. To ensure precise and efficient lamination, key factors include accurate material alignment, optimized adhesive application, and consistent quality control. Automated positioning systems and registration marks aid in precise material alignment, reducing errors. Uniform adhesive distribution, along with controlled temperature and pressure, provides a strong, defect-free bond. Regular calibration, along with properly maintained rollers and tension controls, prevents material distortion and enhances accuracy. Using high-quality laminates and materials appropriate to each application further strengthens the final product, while automated quality checks detect potential issues early, making the lamination process more reliable and efficient.

In November 2024, EuroGroup Laminations S.p.A., an Italy-based provider of electric motor laminations, acquired a 40% stake in Kumar Precision Stampings Private Limited for $21.5 million. Through this acquisition, EuroGroup aims to leverage Kumar’s manufacturing capabilities and strong market presence to accelerate growth and expand its motor lamination footprint in the Indian market. Kumar Precision Stampings Private Limited is an India-based manufacturer of stators, rotors, and motor laminations.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have impacted the motor lamination market by increasing the cost of imported electrical steel, precision stamping equipment, and raw materials used in lamination production. These effects are most prominent in automotive manufacturing regions such as asia pacific and europe, where cross border supply chains are deeply integrated. Higher tariffs have pressured motor and vehicle manufacturers to manage cost structures and sourcing strategies. At the same time, tariffs have encouraged localization of lamination production and investments in advanced, material efficient manufacturing technologies.

This motor lamination market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.

Motor lamination involves the stacking of thin layers of electrical steel sheets, known as laminations, to form the core of an electric motor. These laminations are coated or insulated to reduce energy loss from eddy currents, thereby enhancing motor efficiency. They also serve to direct magnetic flux generated by the coils towards either the rotor or stator, depending on the motor's design.

The primary materials used for motor lamination include cold rolled non-oriented steel, cold rolled non-grained oriented steel, and other specialized types. Cold rolled non-oriented steel is processed to ensure consistent magnetic properties in all directions. Various manufacturing techniques such as welding, bonding, and stamping are employed to produce laminations tailored for specific motor applications. These applications range widely and include electric water pump motors, radiator cooling fan motors, electronic throttle valve control motors, electronic variable gear ratio motors, electronic variable valve timing motors, variable nozzle turbo motors, adjustable pedal motors, electric power steering motors, wiper motors, and others. These motors find use in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses, serving diverse purposes such as enhancing performance, comfort, and safety.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the motor lamination market in 2025.
