Linear Motor Market - Snapshot

Linear motors play a critical role in all types of machines that require linear motion, including overhead travelling cranes and beltless conveyors for moving sheet metal. They offer a reliable and efficient solution to achieve high efficiency. Therefore, they are being increasingly adopted in applications ranging from simple point-to-point systems to sophisticated or complex automation systems. Innovation in the direct drives and the dynamic functions of ironless linear motors is expected to boost the linear motor market significantly over the forecast period. The linear motor market is anticipated to reach a value of US$ 1,878.9 Mn in 2026 from US$ 1,211.2 Mn in 2017, expanding at a CAGR of 5.1%.

Although the flat-bed design of linear motors has long been in demand, of late, the cylindrical design has gained momentum. A close study of recent product launches and developments of key industry participants active in the linear motor market reveals that the use of cylindrical designs in linear motors is likely to continue to rise throughout the forecast period. Factors such as compact design of linear motors and the use of real-time interface are seen as crucial in influencing market growth trends. However, the linear motor market still faces challenges such as high cost and complex design of superconducting magnets. Advancements in technology and continuous innovation are likely to offer significant opportunities to the market in various industrial verticals such as electronics and assembly, machine tools, semiconductors and others. Any further development and exploration of linear motors is expected to open a new set of unexplored opportunities, thereby contributing to the market growth.
