Delray Beach – October 12, 2026 -- The global low-power brushless DC (BLDC) motor market will grow from USD 6.59 billion in 2026 to USD 9.69 billion by 2031, a compound annual growth rate of 8.0%, according to MarketsandMarkets. The 2025 market size stood at USD 6.11 billion.
Asia Pacific is forecast to grow fastest at 8.8% CAGR through 2031
Asia Pacific is expected to post the highest regional CAGR of 8.8%. MarketsandMarkets attributes the growth to industrial development, expanding manufacturing, rising automation and demand for energy savings. China, Japan, South Korea, India and ASEAN countries have invested heavily in robotics, industrial automation, electric transportation, smart appliances and battery devices.
Sub-100 W motors and 1,500–3,000 RPM units lead segment growth at 8.4%
The below-100 W power segment and the 1,500–3,000 RPM speed segment are each projected to record the highest CAGR in their categories, at 8.4%. Renewable energy is expected to be the fastest-growing application segment. Demand for the sub-100 W class stems from compact, battery-powered products in consumer electronics, HVAC, medical and laboratory equipment, robotics and office automation. Replacement of conventional brushed DC motors with electronically commutated BLDC designs is a major adoption driver.
The 1,500–3,000 RPM range balances speed and control across HVAC systems, pumps and medical devices, and serves household appliances, industrial automation and robotics.
Vendors shift from standalone motors to integrated drive systems
Manufacturers are increasingly bundling BLDC motors with drivers, control systems, sensors, encoders, gearboxes and communication systems. The report expects this shift to move sales toward higher-priced motors and integrated drives. Technology advances include sensorless control, Hall-effect sensing, integrated motor drivers and IoT connectivity, which enable condition monitoring, remote communication and automated control.
Greensky plans USD 120 million BLDC investment as AMETEK and Regal Rexnord buy for scope
Greensky Power announced plans in 2025 to invest USD 120 million in producing BLDC and stepper motors, with a focus on 50 W–750 W BLDC motors. In India, Motorama EV raised INR 1.12 crore in 2025 to develop rare-earth-free BLDC motors.
On the M&A side, Regal Rexnord's acquisition of Altra Industrial Motion broadened its precision motion-control portfolio. AMETEK's May 2023 purchase of Bison Gear & Engineering added about USD 80 million in annual income and expanded its electromechanical portfolio.
NIDEC, Regal Rexnord and Maxon rated market stars
MarketsandMarkets identified NIDEC Corporation, Regal Rexnord and Maxon as stars in the market. Other profiled players include MinebeaMitsumi, TransDigm Group, AMETEK, FAULHABER Group, ElectroCraft, Oriental Motor, Bühler Motor, Allient, G.W. Lisk Company and TT Motor (Shenzhen) Industrial. The vendors are pursuing portfolio expansion, miniaturization, energy-efficiency gains, application-specific customization and geographic expansion.
