The North America variable frequency drive market is experiencing robust growth, with an anticipated valuation of USD 5,056.2 million by 2032, following a significant milestone of USD 4,770 million in 2022. This positive trajectory is underpinned by a commendable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% projected for the entire forecast period.
A primary driver behind this exceptional expansion is the escalating electricity rates in North America. As energy costs continue to increase, businesses and manufacturers are actively seeking innovative solutions to optimize their energy consumption. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) have emerged as highly effective tools in this endeavor. These devices enable precise regulation of voltage and frequency, empowering machinery to operate at optimal energy-efficient levels. Consequently, significant cost savings are realized, positioning VFDs as attractive investments for businesses strategically focused on reducing their electricity expenses. The market’s trajectory reflects a strategic response to the evolving energy landscape, emphasizing the growing importance of energy-efficient solutions in the industrial sector.
Efficient Energy Management and Innovations in Motor Control:
Escalating energy costs have necessitated the adoption of energy-efficient motor control systems, offering a viable alternative to conventional throttling mechanisms like valves and fixed speed controllers. Len Busch Roses, exemplifying this trend, employs Danfoss’ variable frequency drive to meticulously regulate airflow in their snapdragon greenhouse, yielding a substantial 22% reduction in energy expenditures.
The integration of smart grid technology is gaining traction, potentially revolutionizing voltage and phase angle variations, consequently enhancing electricity transmission efficiency.
Furthermore, the application of a single variable frequency drive to govern multiple electric motors has emerged as an energy-saving strategy, diminishing energy wastage. The synchronous bypass technique utilizes a variable frequency drive for initiating and synchronizing multiple motors, seamlessly transferring the load from one source to another. According to Rockwell Automation, an asynchronous variable frequency drive system capable of overseeing two motors can result in a remarkable 33% reduction in initial capital expenditure.
Key Insights from the North America Variable Frequency Drive Market:
- The North America Variable Frequency Drive market is prominently led by AC drives, constituting over 70% of the market share. This dominance stems from their extensive utility in heavy and medium industries such as power generation, oil and gas, food and beverages, paper and pulp, infrastructure, and automotive sectors.
- Low voltage units, comprising more than 80% of the market share, are driven by escalating demand for low-power variable frequency drives across applications like fans, pumps, machine tools, cranes, fluid machines, printing machines, metal processing machines, and food processing equipment.
According to an analyst at Future Market Insights, the market’s growth is underpinned by the pursuit of enhanced productivity and reduced downtime.
