Valued at USD 19.10 billion in 2024, the electric AC motors market is projected to reach USD 19.96 billion in 2025 and USD 29.92 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period 2025–2034, according to Polaris Market Research. Application trends show where demand is concentrating, and the report points to electrified transport, building systems, and clean energy investment as important influences.

Electric Vehicles Hold the Largest Application Share

By application, the electric AC motors market is segmented into industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, electric vehicles, home appliances, and others. In 2024, the electric vehicles segment held the largest share because of rising global demand for EVs and the associated need for efficient motor systems.

Automakers are increasingly investing in AC motors that provide high torque, superior performance, and energy efficiency, ensuring optimal battery usage and aligning with the sustainability goals of major EV manufacturers. According to the International Energy Agency, EVs accounted for about 18% of vehicle sales in 2023, up from 14% in 2022 and just 2% in 2018. Stricter emissions regulations and government incentives are accelerating the shift toward electrification, with particular demand expected in commercial and passenger vehicle segments.

Recent launches reflect this momentum. In December 2024, Danfoss Power Solutions launched the Editron EM-PMI375 690-V motor with the EC-C1700B inverter, supporting uses in marine vessels, cranes, winches, mining, and material handling equipment.
