Electric Motors are Everywhere, Especially in your Automotive!

Motors are installed in most devices in and around our daily life. Cameras, printers, domestic appliances and also driving fans in devices that you probably don’t think had a motor. Cars used to have only one electric motor for ignition. Now, they control everything, from power steering to windows, mirrors, ventilation flaps, and engine functions. Because automotive micro motors are compact, lightweight, and simple to operate, with low power consumption and little electromagnetic interference, they are ideal for usage in small, complicated locations with limited power budgets, such as modern electrical and electronic systems. Automotive micromotors’ power consumption types include 48V, 25V-48V, 12V-24V, and less than 11V.

With an increasing demand for luxury cars, it is expected that the demand for micromotors will benefit the automotive micromotor market. Automotive micromotors serve a critical role in the system that allows components such as electric sunroofs, environment purification, power antennae, and other advanced features to operate.

Internal contraptions such as automatic air vent movement for passing air in water distribution pipes to avoid damage (corrosion, air pockets in radiators), front and rear mirror control, and seat adjustments in all segments have led to a huge demand for these micromotors and their mass production.

This is why the automotive micromotors market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 4.65% during the forecast period (2022-2027). The market surpassed a net valuation of USD 34.78 billion in 2021, and it is expected to remain promising during the forecast period, ending with a net valuation of USD 45.68 billion by 2027.

Internal combustion engine (ICE) cars and vans require multi-speed transmissions, as they can only operate within narrow revolutions per minute (RPM) window at each gear before stalling. While EVs don’t need a multi-gear system, Micromotors play a vital role in EV gear shifts.

A single-speed transmission will work for a wide range of acceleration, but there is a degree of trade-off that can impact torque and efficiency. For heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks especially,  multi-speed transmissions can improve the EV’s efficiency and performance, helping it to travel up hills and accelerate to highway speeds by making transmission systems more compact, and utilizing small and power-dense micromotors in integrated multi-speed actuation systems.
