Market Trends of Electric Motors For IC Engine Vehicle Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Electric Motors For IC Engine Vehicle Market according to our research experts:
Passenger Car - Driving the Electric Motor Demand for IC Engine Vehicle
The passenger car dominates the electric motor for IC engine vehicle market over the commercial vehicle, as the buying power of people is growing, and they are willing to invest in safety features of the vehicle, which are proportionally driving the electric motor market.
The governments around the world are implementing new regulations to enhance the vehicle performance, passenger safety, and vehicle emissions. For instance, the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) stated that most auto stop/start systems incorporated in Canadian cars require the use of an additional battery pack and a more robust starter motor. The frequent restarts that are typically encountered in city traffic quickly drain a conventional 12-volt battery, which is designed to reduce the rate of frequent starts. Some form of regenerative braking is typically employed in converting braking energy to electricity, which can be stored in the batteries for further usage. Depending on how a vehicle is operated on city or highway, an auto-stop/ start system holds the potential to significantly reduce fuel consumption, despite adding weight from a more powerful starter and additional batteries, thereby boosting the demand for electric motors. In the light of all these events, the market for the electric motors used in IC engine vehicles is expected to witness a positive growth with the increase in the number of vehicles on the road, globally.
Asia-Pacific Dominating the Electric Motor for the IC Engine Vehicle Market
Asia-Pacific is registering strong growth in vehicle sales, which makes the region the largest market of electric motor for IC engine vehicles, followed by Europe and North America.
The demand for electric motor in the European region is growing due to the vehicle efficiency and fuel economy regulations implemented by the European Union. For instance, the European Union (EU) adopted minimum efficiency regulations for electric motors in European Commission Regulation No. 640/2009 of July 22 2009, which implemented Directive 2005/32/EC, with regard to eco‐design requirements for electric motors. The use of electric vehicles is expected to exceed the use of conventional gasoline or diesel engines in the region, which is anticipated to hinder the growth of the market.
