The permanent magnet synchronous motor (pmsm) market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) has seen substantial growth in the recent past. The market, valued at $27.01 billion in 2024, is expected to rise to $29.3 billion in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%.
The substantial expansion in the historic timeline was due to factors such as the acceptance of electric and hybrid vehicles, progression in industrial automation and robotics, focus on energy efficiency and green technology, extended use in HVAC systems, and development in magnet materials.
The permanent magnet synchronous motor (pmsm) market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) is projected to experience significant growth in the coming years, poised to reach $40.4 billion by 2029, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%.
This forecasted growth is credited to factors like the increasing use of renewable energy applications, the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructures, the proliferation of smart grid and distributed energy systems, and the integration of PMSMs into consumer appliances and transportation electrification. Noteworthy market trends expected to drive expansion during this period include the recycling of rare-earth elements for magnets, the adoption of PMSMs with sophisticated sensor systems, the implementation of silicon carbide (SiC) power electronics, the customization of PMSMs for niche industries, as well as smart motor diagnostics and proactive maintenance.
The rise of eco-friendly vehicles is playing a significant role in the expansion of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) market. Green vehicles, often referred to as clean or environmentally-friendly vehicles, are road-going automobiles that lead to fewer adverse environmental impacts compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles powered by diesel, or vehicles running on alternate fuels. The growing demand for green vehicles is attributed to their zero-emission characteristics and fuel efficiency. For example, a study released by the International Council for Clean Transport (ICCT), a non-profit research institution based in the U.S, in June 2023, stated that worldwide sales of EVs in 2022 hit 10 million, a jump of 54% from the previous year. China topped the list with 6.2 million EVs sold, marking an 82% increase and comprising 59% of international sales. It was followed by the U.S., with 994,000 EV sales, and Europe with EV sales of 2.7 million, which was a 15% rise and made up 25% of global sales. Hence, the rise of green vehicles is projected to spur the expansion of the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) market in the subsequent years.
