According to a Future Market Insights (FMI) report, the sales of low and medium voltage drives in Australia and New Zealand are valued at over US$ 745.0 Million in 2023, with a stable long-term projection. A new report estimates that the demand is expected to rise at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2023 to 2033. This would take the total revenue to US$ 1137.1 Million by 2033.
There is a growing recognition of the need to reduce carbon emissions and a rising demand for energy-efficient technologies, leading to an increased demand for low and medium-voltage drives. Advancements in control algorithms, power electronics, and semiconductors have made it possible to produce more energy-efficient drives that are now more affordable and widely adopted.
The increasing adoption of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power has also driven the demand for energy-efficient voltage drives. These energy sources require a more efficient and flexible power grid, and energy-efficient drives can help regulate power flow and ensure effective distribution. As a result, demand for energy-efficient drives is expected to grow significantly.
Another notable trend prevailing in Australia and New Zealand is the demand for advanced control and monitoring features in drives. Integrating cutting-edge sensors, communication protocols, and control algorithms has enabled movements to monitor and control several parameters in real time, improving efficiency, reliability, and safety in applications such as pumps, fans, and compressors.
Safety is a crucial concern in industrial and commercial settings, pushing the demand for drives with built-in safety features. These features, including emergency stop buttons, safety interlocks, and overload protection, play a vital role in preventing accidents, protecting equipment and personnel, and ensuring compliance with safety regulations.
Overall, sales of low and medium-voltage drives in Australia and New Zealand are influenced by the need for energy efficiency, advancements in control technology, safety requirements, and the demand from various industries and applications.
