ABB Ltd., Applied Motion Products Inc., Faulhaber Group, National Instruments Corporation, Nidec Corporation– PROMINENT MARKET PARTICIPANTS IN Stepper Motor MARKET
Stepper motor is a highly versatile machine predominantly used in diversified industries—such as semiconductor, packaging and labeling, medical equipment, industrial machineries, food & beverages, and many more—for performing many linear manufacturing processes repeatability, with high torque at low speeds, as well as minimal maintenance. Some of the linear manufacturing processes applications are rail positioning, conveyers, and X-Y tables. The continuous growth of the automation and robotics industry is boosting the demand for stepper motors, which can be fitted in limited spaces. The motors manufactures are constantly increasing their focus on optimizing the design as well as manufacturing processes so as to deliver superior products with enhanced efficiency. Additionally, the streamlined manufacturing process, as well as the upgraded model of the stepper motors with miniaturization, boosted the adoption of stepper motor across various applications such as robotics, automobile, and semiconductor industries. All these industries demand high torque speed, high precision, and better efficiency. Moreover, the stepper motor market is endorsing tremendous growth attributed to the upsurge in automobile production globally, as well as the demand for motors integrated into a particular vehicle. Further, the integration of smart and advanced technology into the stepper motors is projected to be a trend offering ample growth opportunities to the manufacturers.
The global stepper motor market has been segmented into five major regions: North America, Europe, APAC, MEA, and SAM. APAC holds the dominant share in the stepper motor market, and Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the global market.
The top five companies in the stepper motor market include ABB Ltd., Applied Motion Products Inc., Faulhaber Group, National Instruments Corporation, Nidec Corporation. The above listing of key players is derived by considering multiple factors such as overall revenue, current stepper motor solution portfolio, new product launches, market initiatives, investment in technology up-gradation, mergers & acquisitions, and other joint activities.
