The electronically commutated (EC) technology combines AC and DC voltages to achieve the most desired outcome. The EC runs on a DC voltage with a single-phase 230 V or three-phase 400 V AC supply. The non-rotating part of EC motors is extended to make room for an electronic printed circuit board (PCB), which includes power AC to DC transformation and controls. The EC electronics are different from frequency inverters, and they decide how the stator's motor phases are supplied with current (commutation), depending on the position, rotation direction, and default. EC motors (ECMs) need individual DC power supply, which leads to additional cost and complexity in applications. EC fans that could operate directly from AC mains incorporated with electronics became obtainable in the early 2000s. The electronics in EC fans transformed AC to DC, accomplished the commutation, and operated the fan speed by controlling the motor's power, generally with pulse-width modulation (PWM).
Various countries in the world are focusing on energy savings through the implementation of different strategies. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has verified that components in equipment and appliances and electric motor-driven systems account for ~25% of the primary energy consumption of residential and commercial sectors. Substituting current equipment with innovative energy-efficient motors results in a considerable drop in cost and energy usage. EC fans enable substantial power savings, offering airflow and cooling solutions for applications with better electrical efficiency requirements. This factor is anticipated to propel the global AC Electronically Commutated (EC) Centrifugal Fans market during the forecast period.

AC Electronically Commutated (EC) Centrifugal Fans Market: Strategic Insights
Smart synchronous permanent magnet motors (SSPMMs) consume less energy and confer greater efficiency. Synchronous motors are used in robot actuators, ball mills, watches, record players, and turntables. The smart synchronous permanent magnet motors help skip the power conversion process after the motor is started, which leads to energy savings and efficiency hikes. SSPMMs eliminate the use of electronics and use a coil for any surge in line. Moreover, greater efficiency and lower power loss of the SSPMM reduce the operating temperature and increase the expected operation life.
Further, the market for smart synchronous permanent magnet motors often caters to different segments and applications. Smart synchronous permanent magnet motors find applications in various industries, including automotive, robotics, and industrial machinery, where high-performance motors are needed. Also, of SSPMMs excel in certain applications where high torque and power density are essential. Therefore, the surging use of SSPMMs restrains AC Electronically Commutated (EC) Centrifugal Fans market growth.
Based on application, the AC electronically commutated (EC) centrifugal fans market has been segmented into air conditioners, refrigerators, ventilation systems, electronic cabinets, and others. The air conditioners segment is expected to account for the largest AC electronically commutated (EC) centrifugal fans market share in 2023. Air conditioning provides faster speed because colder air is denser. Air-conditioning technology in the market is characterized by three main requirements that are energy efficiency, controllability for good load matching, and the adaptability to meet a wide range of customer needs. The EC motor operates quietly and efficiently even under part-load conditions. All fan control, programming, and monitoring typically needed throughout the air-conditioning industry are available through the integrated motor electronics that and can be operated via software and even accessed wirelessly.
The global AC electronically commutated (EC) centrifugal fans market is segmented into five major regions—North America, Europe, APAC, the MEA, and SAM. Europe led the market in 2022 and is anticipated to dominate the AC electronically commutated (EC) centrifugal fans market share during the forecast period. Several industries across APAC and North America are shifting their heavy manufacturing facilities to Europe to enhance their profit margins. The AC electronically commutated (EC) centrifugal fans market growth in APAC is mainly attributed to the increasing inclination toward power savings in various countries in the region. Further, EC fans are a preferred choice to attain energy efficiency in motors. EC fans and motors conforming to the European standard EN 60335-2-89 are the preferred choice of several commercial refrigeration manufacturers for applications involving the use of flammable refrigerants such as R290 (propane). Many electronic companies in Europe are replacing existing fans with EC fans because of their efficiency, controllability, and cost-saving characteristics. Various companies that provide electronically commutated (EC) fans adopted acquisition and merger as their key strategy to increase their geographical foothold and develop their product technologies. In May 2019, IKOR, a Spanish-based manufacturer of fans and motors, merged with Ebm-Papst Group. The Ebm-Papst Group, based in Mulfingen, Germany, has a workforce of 15,000 employees, 48 subsidiaries and sales offices, and 27 production sites. The company provides motors and fans for household appliances, ventilation, and telecommunications. This move will help drive IKOR's sustainable growth strategy in all the markets of Ebm-Papst Group.
