  As the key equipment for the conversion of electrical energy and mechanical energy, motors are widely used in mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemical and other industries in the manufacturing industry. The growth is also highly related to the prosperity of the manufacturing industry.

  The development process of the world's motor products has always followed the development of industrial technology. The development process of motor products can be roughly divided into the following stages of development: in 1834, Jacobi of Germany was the first to make a motor, and the motor industry began to appear; in 1870, the Belgian engineer Graham invented the DC generator, and the DC motor began to be widely used Application; at the end of the 19th century, alternating current appeared, and then the alternating current drive was gradually widely used in industry; in the 1970s, many electronic devices appeared; MAC company proposed a practical permanent magnet brushless DC motor and drive system, and the motor industry New forms have emerged one after another. After the 21st century, more than 6,000 types of micro-motors have appeared in the motor market; production bases in developed countries have gradually shifted to developing countries.

  With the continuous advancement of the recovery of China's manufacturing industry and the recovery of the global economy, the demand for China's industrial motor market has continued to grow in recent years. The huge market demand has prompted the continuous expansion of China's industrial motor production capacity. In 2021, China's industrial motor output will reach 345.97 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 7.00 %.

  Industry chain of industrial motor industry

  The upstream of my country's industrial motors is mainly raw materials such as insulators, electrolytic copper, electrical silicon steel and alloy steel; the midstream is motor manufacturing; the downstream is motor applications, including water equipment, power equipment, wind power equipment, thermal power equipment and home appliances.

  Industrial motors account for a large proportion of motors. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, China's industrial motor output will reach 346 million kilowatts in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 7%. With the continuous advancement of the recovery of my country's manufacturing industry and the recovery of the global economy, the demand for my country's industrial motors is expected to further expand.

  Development trend of industrial motor industry

  Industrial motors are a key field of motor applications. Without an efficient motor system, it is impossible to build an advanced automated production line. In addition, in the face of increasingly severe pressure on energy conservation and emission reduction, vigorously developing new energy vehicles has become a new focus of competition in the world auto industry. With the development of the electric vehicle industry, its demand for drive motors is also increasing.

  At this stage, the top ten representative motor companies in the world include Siemens, Toshiba, ABB Group, NEC, Rockwell Automation, AMETEK, Regal Beloit, Johnson Group, Franklin Electric, and AlliedMotion, mostly distributed in Europe and the United States ,Japan.

  But after years of development, my country's industrial motor industry has formed a number of large motor companies. In order to cope with market competition under the globalization pattern, these enterprises have gradually changed from "big and comprehensive" to "specialized and intensive", which has further promoted the development of specialized production methods in my country's industrial motor industry. In the future, under the impetus of low-carbon environmental protection policies, China's industrial motors will also make every effort to develop in the direction of green energy conservation.

  From the perspective of the development trend of the global electric motor market, it is mainly manifested in the following points:

  The industry is developing toward intelligence and integration: traditional motor manufacturing has achieved cross-integration of advanced electronic technology and intelligent control technology. In the future, it is the future trend of the motor industry to continuously develop and optimize intelligent control technology for small and medium-sized motor systems used in the industrial field, and to realize the integrated design and manufacture of motor system control, sensing, and drive functions.

  The products are developing towards differentiation and specialization: motor products have a wide range of supporting products, and are widely used in various fields such as energy, transportation, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, mining, and construction. With the continuous deepening of the global economy and the continuous improvement of the level of science and technology, the situation that the same type of motor is used for different properties and different occasions is being broken in the past, and the motor products are developing in the direction of specialization, differentiation and specialization.

  Products are developing in the direction of high efficiency and energy saving: the relevant global environmental protection policies from 2022 have pointed out a clear policy orientation for improving the performance of motors and general machines. Therefore, the motor industry urgently needs to speed up the energy-saving renovation of existing production equipment, promote efficient and green production processes, and develop a new generation of energy-saving motors, motor systems and control products, and testing equipment. Improve the motor and system technical standard system, and strive to enhance the core competitiveness of motor and system products.

  To sum up, in 2023, brushless, direct drive, extreme speed, speed regulation, miniaturization, servo, mechatronics and intelligence are the future development direction and focus of modern motors. Each of them has been practiced and repeatedly demonstrated in daily production and life. Therefore, whether it is brushless, direct drive, mechatronics, or intelligence, it is one of the indispensable elements for the development of modern motors in the future. In the future development of modern motors, we must also pay attention to its simulation technology, design technology, high-efficiency energy-saving technology and adaptability to extreme environments, so that modern electronic technology can develop more benignly.

  Affected by policies, China's industrial motor manufacturing industry is transforming towards high-efficiency and green, and the demand for industry substitution is increasing, and the output of industrial motors is also increasing year by year. According to data, my country's industrial motor output reached 3.54 million kilowatts, a year-on-year increase of 9.7%.

  At present, the export volume and export value of my country's industrial motors are greater than the import volume, but the export products are mainly small and medium-sized motors, with low technical content and cheaper prices than similar foreign products; imported products are mainly high-end micro-special motors, large and high-power Mainly industrial motors, the import unit price is generally higher than the export unit price of similar products.

  From the perspective of the scale division of the world motor market, China is the motor manufacturing area, and developed countries in Europe and the United States are the motor technology research and development area. Take micro motors as an example. China is the world's largest producer of micro motors. Japan, Germany and the United States are the leading forces in the research and development of micro and special motors, controlling most of the world's most sophisticated new micro and special motor technologies.

  From the perspective of market share, according to the scale of China's motor industry and the global motor industry, China's motor industry accounts for 30%, the United States and the European Union account for 27% and 20% respectively.

  In the future, it is the future trend of the motor industry to continuously develop and optimize intelligent control technology for small and medium-sized motor systems used in the industrial field, and to realize the integrated design and manufacture of motor system control, sensing, and drive functions. The products are developing towards differentiation and specialization: motor products have a wide range of supporting products, and are widely used in various fields such as energy, transportation, petroleum, chemical industry, metallurgy, mining, and construction.
