Market Segmentation

Oceania Electric Motor Market Report and Forecast 2024-2032 offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:

AC motors are further divided into synchronous AC motors and induction AC motors while DC motors are sub-divided into brushed DC motors and brushless DC motors.

Meanwhile residential and commercial applications are bifurcated into HVAC, home appliances, and others. E-mobility is sub-divided into 2 and 3 wheelers, light vehicle, commercial and heavy vehicle, and others.

By power output, fractional HP motors are expected to hold a significant Oceania electric motor market share to meet the power needs of small household appliances

According to the Oceania electric motor report, fractional HP motors are smaller and more compact, making them ideal for space-constrained applications and small appliances. These motors are also more affordable compared to larger motors.

Integral HP motors typically have higher power ratings, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications and larger machinery, including large pumps, compressors, and manufacturing equipment. These motors often have better efficiency at higher power levels, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs.

Industrial segment is a prominent application of electric motors in the electric motor market in Oceania

According to the Oceania electric motor market analysis, there is a rising demand for industrial electric motors energised by alternating current (AC) for power grids and generators. Electric motors are widely used in industrial applications like high-voltage AC heating, cooling, and ventilating equipment.

In the residential and commercial sector, electric motors are an integral part of HVAC systems and perform functions including operating fans, pumps, compressors, and moving hot and cold air. Since HVAC systems account for around 50% of a commercial building’s energy use in Australia, the country is likely to invest in electric motors that offer significant advantages such as energy efficiency, reliability, performance, and sustainability.

Electric vehicles such as light vehicles, 2 and 3-wheelers, and heavy vehicles incorporated with electric motors are gaining popularity due to the lower operating, maintenance, and fuel costs. Moreover, electric vehicles offer a quieter and smoother ride, improving the driving experience for drivers and passengers. According to the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), a record 1.21 million new cars were sold in Australia in 2023. Battery EVs accounted for 7.2% of the total, a rise from 3.2% in 2022, while hybrid vehicles accounted for 8.1% from 7.9% the previous year.

Competitive Landscape

In Oceania, the electric motor market is characterised by intense competition, with a significant presence of both global and local players vying for market share.

Other key players in the Oceania electric motor market include Emerson Electric Co., Nidec Corporation, General Electric Company, and Toshiba International Corporation, among others.

Oceania Electric Motor Market Analysis

Australia holds a significant market Oceania electric motor market share owing to rising demand for household and industrial appliances

A growing manufacturing sector in Australia is catering to an increased demand for electric motors for compressors, fans and blowers, and heavy-duty equipment. Prominent fan manufacturers in the country include Aerotech Fans Pty Ltd, AirEng Pty Ltd, and Aerovent Australia Pty Ltd.
