Global Electric Motor Market

The global electric motor market has witnessed an exponential growth over the past several years on account of technological advancements along with improving standards of living and escalating disposable incomes of the consumers.

Electric motors refer to mechanical devices which work on the basic principle of electromagnetism. Over the years, these motors have gained traction due to their growing usage in a number of applications ranging from hair dryers, toys, electric shavers and extractor fans to washing machines, dishwashers, coffee grinders, microwaves and electric can openers. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Electric Motor Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, estimates that the global electric motor market reached a volume of around 546 Million Units in 2017. The report further anticipates the market to reach a volume of 982 Million Units by 2023, at a projected CAGR of more than 10% during 2018-2023.

Global Electric Motor Market Drivers/Constraints:
