Market Size & Growth
Key Market Drivers
Challenges
For example, in April 2024, the European Union launched a revision to the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive targeting to decarbonize the regional building stock. The EU/2024/1275 amendment has put the objectives for building decarbonization by 2050 and diminish GHG emissions by at least 60% by 2030. Furthermore, the governing body has further detailed its plans to mitigate emissions primarily from the newly constructed structures and transition towards the renovating constructions.
Various emerging as well as developed countries have observed substantial increase in energy consumption over the years. Expansion across various residential, commercial, and industrial infrastructures have further led to substantial increment in the overall energy intake. moreover, to counter the energy-security challenge, respective authorities have undertaken significant measures to boost the energy security and minimize energy loses.
The U.S. EIA stated in its December Energy Review 2024, the nation’s overall primary energy consumption summed over 70.34 trillion Btu within first three quarters of 2024. Moreover, the energy intake observed a total annual increase of around 0.6% amounting over 69.9 trillion Btu within the same period in 2023.
Low Voltage Drives Market Trends
Rapid technological advancements to boost the capabilities of AC, DC, and servo motors & drives systems in advent of the expanding operations of various sized motor systems will favor the industry outlook. Moreover, different scale manufactures are introducing new products at the national, regional, and global levels to expand their industry presence with new portfolio extensions catering to a wide range of application areas.
Invertek Drives introduced an addition to its Optidrive Coolvert (HVAC-R) line of low voltage VFDs in March 2024 for optimized performance at an event in Italy. The two new inclusions offer a compact footprint, high power ratings, and has been designed to seamlessly integrate across condensing units, heat pumps, and BLDC compressors enabling OEMs to boost system performance while consuming less space.
The low voltage drives market is expected to witness tremendous growth due to their low costs, compact sizes, easy availability, and other advantages that increase productivity in industrial operations. In addition, the increased demand for high-efficiency systems that will yield significant energy savings amidst rapidly growing energy consumption is also expected to transform the industry trends.
As per the Statistical Review of World Energy 2024, the overall energy intake across the world equaled over 619.6 exajoules (Ejs) in 2023 with leading position held by the countries within Asia Pacific. The primary energy consumption value reported over 2% year-on-year increment growing from above 607.3 Ejs from the last year.
