Abstract
Description
Record high energy prices and increased awareness of the benefits of motor
drives continue to fuel the low voltage AC & DC motor drives market. 2006 was
a year of unprecedented growth, and worldwide revenues increased by nearly 15%
over their 2005 levels, to surpass US $7.6 billion. Asia Pacific and EMEA lead
the way due to continued economic expansions in these regions, while Americas
and Japan also witnessed stable, although slower growth.
These are some of the many findings from the latest IMS Research study of the
Worldwide Market for Low Voltage AC & DC Motor Drives. The report presents the
drives market in terms of revenues, unit shipments and average selling prices.
The study uses 2006 as the base year, and forecasts are provided for the
period 2007 to 2011. In addition to presenting market size estimates, the
report also examines the relevant trends affecting the drives market, analyzes
the competitive environment for motor drives, and provides the market shares
of leading motor drives suppliers on both a worldwide and regional level.
The study features exceptional granularity with worldwide, regional, and
country-level forecasts for over 25 countries. The report also presents data
for 25 industry sectors, including commercial HVAC, food & beverage, metal
processing, textiles and utilities. In addition, market segmentations are
presented for voltage, sales channel and power. Economic assumptions, product
matrices and a company directory are also included to provide a complete
picture of the worldwide market for low voltage AC & DC motor drives.
This study is ideal for anyone looking for a detailed quantitative analysis of
the low voltage motor drives market. This includes motor drive manufacturers,
component suppliers (e.g. semiconductors, sensors, connectors, switches) as
well as investment bankers, VC' s and other industrial automation watchers.
