Chinese low voltage AC motor revenues to triple by 2016

IMS Research

IMS Research forecasts that the Chinese market for low-voltage integral horsepower AC motors will nearly triple in revenues to $7.9 billion in 2016 from 2010. Unit shipments are expected to grow annually at double-digit rates, reaching 22.6 million units in 2016. The robust revenue growth will be driven by local power-saving legislation mandating sales of higher-efficiency, and thus more expensive motors, according to a new report, The Chinese Market for Low Voltage AC Motors – 2011 Edition from IMS Research.

With the shift from IE1 to IE2, motors sold in China will be more expensive than in the past, since IE2 efficiency-class motors have prices more than 30% higher than those of IE1 Standard Efficiency motors. IMS Research estimates that market revenues for IE2 motors will double in 2011.
