Introduction: 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.
In terms of drive motors for vehicles , China is a major producer of industrial motors and has a strong technical foundation. Industrial motors consume a lot of energy, accounting for 60% of the electricity consumption of the entire society. Compared with ordinary motors, permanent magnet motors made of permanent magnets can save about 20% of electricity, and are known as “energy-saving artifacts” in the industry.
Analysis of the status quo and development trend of the 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.
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.
Judging from 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 electric motor manufacturing has achieved the 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.
In the future, driven by the policy of low-carbon and environmental protection, my country’s industrial motors will also make every effort to develop towards green and energy-saving.
Section 2 Development Status of my country’s Industrial Motor Industry
1. Review of the development of China’s industrial motor industry in 2021
In recent years, the competition in the international motor market has become increasingly fierce, and the price has reached a critical point. Except for special motors, special motors, and large motors, it is difficult for general-purpose small and medium-sized motor manufacturers to continue to gain a foothold in developed countries. China has a greater advantage in labor costs.
At this stage, my country’s motor industry is a labor-intensive and technology-intensive industry. The market concentration of large and medium-sized motors is relatively high, while that of small and medium-sized motors is relatively low, and the competition is fierce. There is a large differentiation within the motor industry. Due to sufficient funds, large production capacity, and high brand awareness, listed companies and large state-owned enterprises have taken the lead in the development of the entire industry and gradually expanded their market share. However, a large number of small and medium-sized homogeneous motor manufacturers can only share the remaining market share, forming a “Matthew Effect” in the industry, which promotes an increase in industry concentration, and some disadvantaged companies are eliminated.
On the other hand, the Chinese market has become the focus of competition among global companies. Therefore, due to considerations of efficiency, technology, resources, labor costs and many other aspects, motor manufacturers in many developed countries in the world are moving to China, and continue to participate in the competition in the form of sole proprietorship or joint venture. , There are more and more offices and agencies, making the competition in the domestic market more intense. The transformation of the world’s industrial structure is a challenge to Chinese enterprises, but also an opportunity. This is an excellent opportunity to promote the scale and grade of China’s motor industry, enhance product development capabilities and integrate with international standards.
2. Analysis of the development of my country’s industrial motor market in 2021
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.
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.
