Motor lamination involves the stacking of thin layers of electrical steel sheets, known as laminations, to form the core of an electric motor. These laminations are coated or insulated to reduce energy loss from eddy currents, thereby enhancing motor efficiency. They also serve to direct magnetic flux generated by the coils towards either the rotor or stator, depending on the motor's design.
The primary materials used for motor lamination include cold rolled non-oriented steel, cold rolled non-grained oriented steel, and other specialized types. Cold rolled non-oriented steel is processed to ensure consistent magnetic properties in all directions. Various manufacturing techniques such as welding, bonding, and stamping are employed to produce laminations tailored for specific motor applications. These applications range widely and include electric water pump motors, radiator cooling fan motors, electronic throttle valve control motors, electronic variable gear ratio motors, electronic variable valve timing motors, variable nozzle turbo motors, adjustable pedal motors, electric power steering motors, wiper motors, and others. These motors find use in passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, and buses, serving diverse purposes such as enhancing performance, comfort, and safety.
The motor lamination research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides motor lamination market statistics, including the motor lamination industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with a motor lamination market share, detailed motor lamination market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the motor lamination industry. This motor lamination market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The motor lamination market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.6 billion in 2024 to $23.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased demand for electric vehicles, strict global regulations on energy consumption, growth in automation and use of electric motors in manufacturing processes, expansion of wind and solar power projects requiring efficient generators, increased use of electric motors.
The motor lamination market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $29.81 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued growth in the EV market, development of new alloys and composites, growing emphasis on reducing carbon footprints, continued growth in renewable energy installations, urbanization in developing economies, and greater investments in research and development. Major trends in the forecast period include increased use of high-performance materials, the trend towards smaller, lighter motor designs to improve performance in automotive and portable applications, growth in smart motors with embedded sensors and IoT connectivity for real-time monitoring and optimization, use of advanced manufacturing processes such as laser cutting and additive manufacturing, rise in demand for customized motor laminations tailored to specific applications and performance requirements.
The motor lamination market is expected to experience growth driven by an increase in vehicle sales in the foreseeable future. Vehicle sales involve the commercial exchange of automobiles from sellers to buyers, reflecting a rising demand for efficient motor lamination solutions amid evolving regulatory standards and sustainability concerns. Motor laminations are crucial components utilized in vehicles to enhance the efficiency and performance of electric motors, supporting essential functions such as propulsion, steering, and auxiliary systems. For example, data from the National Automobile Dealers Association in December 2023 revealed a significant increase in new light vehicle sales, rising from 14.93 million units in 2021 to 15.8 million units in 2022, and reaching 15.46 million units in 2023, marking a 12.4% growth from 2022 to 2023. This surge underscores how the expanding vehicle market is fueling demand in the motor lamination sector.
Leading companies in the lamination market are prioritizing the development of advanced products, such as variable frequency drives (VFDs), to improve accuracy, efficiency, and user control. The GD20 VFD, for instance, is a vector control drive that regulates motor speed and torque with high precision, essential for consistent paper feeding and accommodating various speeds in lamination. In March 2024, INVT (Shenzhen INVT Electric Co. Ltd.), a China-based company specializing in industrial automation, energy, and power electronics, introduced lamination solutions designed for accuracy and efficiency. To ensure precise and efficient lamination, key factors include accurate material alignment, optimized adhesive application, and consistent quality control. Automated positioning systems and registration marks aid in precise material alignment, reducing errors. Uniform adhesive distribution, along with controlled temperature and pressure, provides a strong, defect-free bond. Regular calibration, along with properly maintained rollers and tension controls, prevents material distortion and enhances accuracy. Using high-quality laminates and materials appropriate to each application further strengthens the final product, while automated quality checks detect potential issues early, making the lamination process more reliable and efficient.
