Analog servo motors and drives are electromechanical systems used for precise control of motion in various industrial applications. These components operate based on analog signals to regulate speed, position, and torque accurately. Analog servo motors and drives are well-suited for systems that utilize analog control signals, providing compatibility with existing control architectures.
The main drives of analog servo motors and drives are AC drives and DC drives. AC drive refers to a type of motor controller specifically designed to regulate the speed and torque of an alternating current (AC) motor. It has various voltage ranges such as low voltage, medium voltage, and high voltage, and it is used in extreme environments applications, semiconductor machinery, automated guided vehicle (AGV), electronics, and others.

The analog servo motors and drives market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.4 billion in 2024 to $11.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing industrial automation driving demand, increasing adoption of international energy-efficient standards and regulations, demand for precise motion control solutions, rising demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective servo motors and drives.
The analog servo motors and drives market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.45 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for industrial robotics, rising demand for high-performance and reliable equipment, huge application of servo sotors and drives in printing presses and paper converting machinery. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in technology, integration with IoT technology, expansion of smart manufacturing, expansion of automated guided vehicles, strategic partnership and collaboration.
The growing demand for automation in manufacturing processes is expected to drive the growth of the analog servo motors and drives market. Automation in manufacturing involves utilizing technology, machinery, and control systems to perform tasks with minimal human involvement. The increased adoption of automation is driven by its ability to reduce costs, improve productivity, enhance product quality, address labor shortages, facilitate digital transformation, and meet the evolving needs of the market. Analog servo motors and drives play a crucial role in enabling automation by providing precise motion control for automated machinery, optimizing production processes, and minimizing the reliance on manual labor. For example, in September 2023, the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), a Germany-based non-profit organization, reported that the number of service robots supplied for professional use reached 158,000 units in 2022, marking a 48% increase. Additionally, 553,052 industrial robots were installed globally in 2022, reflecting a 5% annual growth rate. As a result, the rising demand for automation is fueling the growth of the analog servo motors and drives market.
Major companies operating in the analog servo motors and drives markets are focusing on integrating I/O expansion options to extend feature and enhance their market offering. I/O expansion option refer to additional hardware components that extend the input/output capability of a main controller or system beyond its built-in. It is employed in machine-building applications where motor technologies with voltages between 200 and 480 V and powers between 0.25 and 7.5 kW are needed. For instance, in January 2024, Aerotech Inc., a US-based precision motion control and automation company, launched automation1 XA4 and iXA4 PWM servo drives, which is compact, economical single-and multi-axis servo drives. Automation1 XA4 and iXA4 PWM servo drives provide precision motion control at a reduced cost. The new products include full motion controllers and I/O expansion options, making them suitable for a range of applications. The Automation1 XA4 and iXA4 PWM servo drives are part of this new line, offering streamlined and cost-effective solutions for motion control applications. These products are designed to provide high performance and integrated motion control for up to 12 axes.
In August 2022, WEG Industries, a Brazilian motion engineering and automation company acquired the motion control business unit of Gefran S.p.A for value of over $25 million. Through the acquisition, WEG will strengthen its position in a key market, expand its offering of goods and services, strengthen its position in the European market, and quicken its international expansion as part of its motion-driven strategy. Gefran S.p.A is an Italy-based company that offers electronic drives and electric motors in AC and DC for all industrial applications, including servo drives and motion control solutions.
