AC Drives Market Size, Share, Trends and Forecast by Power Rating, Voltage, Application, End-Use, and Region, 2025-2033
Market Report I 2025-02-10 I 137 Pages I IMARC Group
The global AC drives market size was valued at USD 26.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 41.8 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.3% during 2025-2033. Asia-Pacific currently dominates the market in 2024, holding a market share of over 31.9% in 2024. Increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions, rapid industrialization and urbanization, advancements in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0, stringent government regulations, and technological innovations further stimulate market expansion across the region.
AC drives are used for regulating the velocity of electric motors and function by fluctuating the frequency, magnetic flux and voltage in the motor's circuit. They are used to achieve effective control over the motor's speed and reduce energy consumption. Owing to this, they are employed across the oil and gas, power generation, building automation, food and beverage, and metals and mining sectors.
Market Drivers:
The low energy consumption of AC drives is one of the prime factors that is driving the growth in the market. They adopt energy-saving techniques which avoid strain on natural resources and offer a greater return on investment and efficiency. The use of these devices also reduces disturbances in the power supply and lowers carbon dioxide emissions.
Rapid industrialization and urbanization have increased the demand for automated and motor-driven equipment, in turn, escalating the sales of AC drives worldwide. Additionally, improving standards of living have catalyzed the development of modern infrastructure which has further contributed to the growth of the market.
The low production cost of AC drives coupled with an increase in electricity prices has bolstered their sales. Since these drives consume a minimal amount of electricity, require less maintenance and are easy to use, they are being preferred by manufacturers across the globe for use in motor-driven equipment.
The increasing popularity of industrial Internet of Things (IoT), along with the usage of cloud computing, mobile communications and web technologies for controlling and maintaining these drives, is also expected to create a positive impact on the growth of the market.
