Permanent Magnet Motor Market: Overview

A permanent magnet motor is an electric motor with permanent magnets as well as windings on its field, rather than only windings. The basic operation of a permanent magnet motor is similar to that of other electric motors, the outer stator houses windings of coils fed by a power source, and the rotor revolves freely thanks to the forces given by the stator coils. Permanent magnet motors come in bigger sizes, have more horsepower, and may compete with induction motors in terms of strength, efficiency, and a number of applications.

COVID-19 Impact:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chains may feel the most substantial near-term consequences on permanent magnet motors that are already contracted or in the production process. Industry leaders expect supply and construction delays, either as a result of industry closures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus or as a result of workers being ill. Many of the components and parts used in the manufacture of permanent magnet motors are sourced from Europe, China, Asia Pacific, and portions of Europe.

Manufacturing interruptions in China and the United States may cause the permanent magnet motor industry to see a severe short-term drop. Furthermore, several nations' domestic currencies have declined as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a mismatch of supply and demand, which results in financial losses for metal manufacturers; also, critical components required in the construction of permanent magnet motors are often acquired in US dollars, which might result in higher component costs.

Permanent Magnet Motor Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing demand for energy-efficient and low-cost maintenance synchronized motors across different industries is likely to drive market growth.

Permanent magnet synchronized motors are significantly more efficient than induction motors, and they are the most power-dense traction motors on the market. As a result, the growing need for higher-efficiency motors is projected to fuel the demand for permanent magnet synchronous motors in a variety of sectors. Permanent magnet motors are used in most sectors, including electronics, textiles, and pulp & paper, to provide higher-functioning goods with more functionality (for instance, silent washing machines & fans, and improved low voltage to allow solar water pumps and deliver better performance on overcast days).

Permanent magnet motors are also being considered for HVAC applications in the residential and commercial sectors. Permanent magnet synchronous motors are predicted to be used in the majority of electric cars in the future (about 80 percent). Appliances with efficient permanent magnet motors consume 20-40 percent less energy than those with traditional alternating current motors. PM motors are also more dependable than traditional motors, which is a critical feature for appliances built for usage in off-grid or rural settings. These distinct qualities boost customer satisfaction in off-grid and weak-grid markets, encouraging them to spend more for higher-performing appliances.

Permanent Magnet Motor Market: Restraints

The high cost of permanent magnet motors may hinder the growth of the market

The increased cost of permanent magnet motors is one of the key constraints limiting their expansion. Permanent magnet motors are highly efficient, although they are expensive due to the usage of rare-earth magnets. Although some industrial and commercial electronics manufacturers are hesitant to invest in permanent magnet motors, this trend is expected to alter in the future period, as permanent magnet motors reduce maintenance costs, improving operations in both the industrial & commercial sectors and resulting in increased productivity.

Permanent Magnet Motor Market: Opportunities

The adoption of cost-effective ferrite permanent magnets offers significant opportunities for the market expansion

Permanent magnets made of rare-earth materials, which are extensively employed in permanent magnet motors, are costly. This is because pricey neodymium or samarium-cobalt magnets are used. As a result, ferrite magnets are employed to make low-cost permanent magnet motors. In addition, to be cost-effective, these ferrite permanent magnets are readily accessible in China and offer minimal current losses in low-frequency applications like motor drives. A motor using ferrite magnets, on the other hand, is expected to have roughly 30-50 percent of the power density of a rare-earth motor. Due to the high expense of rare-earth magnets, several industries are looking for ways to employ ferrites instead. The demand for ferrite permanent magnet motors is projected to increase as a result of this reason.

Permanent Magnet Motor Market: Challenges.

Availability of inexpensive and low-quality electric motors in local markets poses a great challenge to the market.

With a large number of local and foreign companies, the permanent magnet motors industry is extremely fragmented. The regulated market mostly caters to industrial clients and maintains high product quality, whereas the unorganized market provides low-cost options for tapping local markets. In most countries, local makers of electric motors target the unorganized sector and fight fiercely with global suppliers in their marketplaces. Unorganized competitors offering low-cost, low-quality electric motors are presently posing a significant threat to industry leaders. This poses a significant impediment to the global permanent magnet motor market's expansion.
