The enclosed motor starter market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.36 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of smart motor management systems, increasing demand for energy-efficient motor controls, expansion of electric vehicle infrastructure, rising focus on predictive maintenance, increasing investments in industrial digitization. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of compact enclosed motor starters, rising demand for enhanced electrical protection, growing integration of smart motor control features, expansion of industrial automation applications, enhanced focus on equipment safety.

The growth of industrial automation is expected to drive the enclosed motor starter market in the coming years. Industrial automation involves using digital logic programming and mechanized equipment to operate machinery, reducing the need for human intervention in decision-making and manual operations. This growth is fueled by technological advancements, increased focus on safety and compliance, and rising demand for real-time data analysis. Enclosed motor starters support industrial automation by providing reliable and protected motor control, improving operational efficiency and safety. For example, in September 2025, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based robotics research organization, reported that the total number of industrial robots in operation worldwide reached 4,664,000 units in 2024, marking a 9% increase compared to the previous year. Therefore, the rise in industrial automation is propelling the enclosed motor starter market.

Major players in the enclosed motor starter market are focusing on advancing solutions that drive energy transitions, aiming to improve energy efficiency in industrial applications. The energy transition refers to the shift from conventional energy sources, like fossil fuels, to more sustainable and renewable alternatives such as solar, wind, and hydropower. For example, in April 2024, WEG S.A., a Brazil-based manufacturing company, launched the W23 Sync+Ultra motor, which sets new benchmarks for energy efficiency and sustainability. Recognized as the most efficient industrial motor ever created, it exceeds previous efficiency standards, such as IE5, by achieving IE6 and beyond. The motor reduces energy losses by 20% compared to its predecessor, significantly lowering carbon emissions and minimizing energy waste. As part of WEG's commitment to supporting the global energy transition, the W23 Sync+Ultra offers industries a high-performance solution that enhances operational efficiency while promoting environmental responsibility. This motor represents a major advancement in energy efficiency for industrial operations.

In September 2023, WEG S.A., a Brazil-based electronic equipment company, acquired Regal Rexnord Corporation for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, WEG enhances its global presence and broadens its portfolio in the electric motors and generators markets, driving growth and efficiency across various regions. Regal Rexnord Corporation, a US-based company, specializes in the design and manufacturing of electric motors.
