Global Automotive Traction Motor Market Size

The global automotive traction motor market is projected to grow from USD 4.0 billion in 2021 to USD 17.0 billion by 2026 at a CAGR value of 33.0%.

Rising demand and awareness regarding advantages of electric vehicles, increasing manufacturing capacity for high performance and mid-ranged vehicles/motors, and rising government supportive policies to launch battery and electric operated cars in developing and developed nations are few of the factors responsible to drive the automotive traction motor market. Moreover, technological advancements in electric vehicles have a direct positive effect on the traction motors market.

For instance, in October 2019, BMW Group awarded Magna International as its largest production order for transmission technologies. The multi-year contract includes all front-wheel drive dual-clutch transmissions, including hybrid transmission variants. The transmission technologies will be used in more than 170 different vehicle applications. Magna’s new hybrid solution has no impact on the overall package size of the transmission, thus providing BMW with manufacturing flexibility.

Traction motor is used in automobiles to create propulsion through its electric motors. Most of the countries are suppliers and manufacturers of diesel or petrol engine motors. However, with improving lifestyles and changing requirements as per environmental need, the automotive industry is also bringing in innovations that are more technologically and advancement driven. The traditional mechanical transmission systems, consume more significant amount of resources than an EV or battery operated vehicle. The newly developing automobiles with electrical transmission systems can reuse and regenerate the energy consumed, thus enhancing the service delivery and efficiency. These automotive traction motors are mainly installed in hybrid electric vehicles or battery electric vehicles.

Automotive traction motors enable the operators a smooth start and stop to the engine, thus bringing more efficiency. The rising population and changing lifestyles are increasing the demand for the efficient EV vehicles thus driving the automotive traction motors market.

The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the automotive industry on a large scale. Most of the manufacturing facilities and sites were shut due to worldwide lockdown. Moreover the raw material supply chain was heavily disturbed due to lack of labour source. However, during the forecast period, the automotive traction motor market is expected to grow exponentially owing to rising need for EV and battery based vehicles.

Global Automotive Traction Motor Market: By Vehicle Type

Based on the vehicle type the market is segmented into passenger cars, and commercial vehicles. Traction motors in recent times have been extensively used in commercial vehicles like metros or railways, and hence, the commercial vehicles segment is analyzed to be the largest segment in the market.

Commercial vehicles are majorly used modes of transportation as well as for other services all across the world. Besides the metro and suburban railways, commercial vehicles also include buses, vans, construction vehicles, garbage vans, ambulances, and many more. These commercial vehicles, however, account to emit 25% of CO2 into the air. This increasing concern has brought awareness among countries, and governments across the globe are gradually investing more into converting these commercial vehicles to electric traction motors instead of fossil fuels like diesel or petrol.

Global Automotive Traction Motor Market: By EV Type

Based on the EV type, the market is segmented into battery electric vehicle (BEV), hybrid electric vehicles (HEV), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). The PHEV will be the fastest growing segment in the market from 2021 to 2026. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, utilize both batteries and fuel based engines. These hybrid vehicles use batteries to charge their traction motors and use petroleum fuel to charge the internal combustions. With increasing number of electric vehicle manufacturers, the segment is ought to be the growing the fastest.

Global Automotive Traction Motor Market: By Type

Based on type, the market is segmented into alternating current (AC), and direct current (DC).

The DC segment is analyzed to be the largest shareholder of the market as it is significantly used for automotive traction motor. The electric vehicles, majorly working on batteries, are based on direct current power supplies. The alternating current power, is most commonly used through power outlets in domestic or household usage. However, with rising demand for traction motors and electric vehicles, the DC power type segment will grow rapidly as it is considered to be the most beneficial part of the system.

Global Automotive Traction Motor Market: By Motor Type

Based on the motor type, the market is segmented into permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), DC brushless, and AC induction. The automotive traction motor industry highly utilizes PMSM attributing to its various beneficial features and hence it is the fastest growing segment. Compared to the Brushless DC, the PMSM facilitates more beneficial features than regular. The PMSM motors are prominent and produce less noise while operating. These motors are highly used in hybrid and battery-driven electric vehicles, and also ensure energy-efficient usage in automobiles.

Global Automotive Traction Motor Market: By Power Output

Based on the power output, the market is segmented into less than 200 kW, 200-400 kW, and above 400 kW. With the increasing implication of traction motors in electric vehicles, the most commonly required or average power output in these vehicles is less than 200 kW and hence, this segment is ought to be the largest segment in the market. Standard or regular use passenger electric vehicle or car require 30 to 50 kW of power output traction motors to run smoothly and give efficient results. However, for heavy-duty commercial vehicles like metro or railway, the power output of traction motors is relatively high at more than 400 kW.

asia pacific automotive traction motor market

Global Automotive Traction Motor Market: By Region

Based on region, the market can be segmented into various regions such as North America, Europe, Central and South America, Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific regions.

Europe is the most dominant region in the manufacturing of traction motors and the automobile industry and is also the top regional segment in the automotive traction motor market from 2021 to 2026. Europe is known to be home for the world’s largest automobile manufacturing companies especially for automotive traction motors.

However, followed by Europe, APAC is another powerful region which is expected to grow the fastest in the market. Countries like India, Japan, China, Korea, and many others have powerfully held their place in the traction motor industry. China is one of the top manufacturers of automotive traction motors. China has also been one of the top countries in exporting electric vehicles across international markets. Companies like Kirloskar Brothers Limited, ABB Ltd, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and many others are strong players in the APAC region.
