Market Overview

Permanent Magnet Motors to Dominate the Hybrid Vehicle Market, while Induction Motors to Rule the Roost in the Electric Vehicle Market in South Korea

Hybrid and EVs are riding a wave of popularity, as increasing social responsibility and environment consciousness are driving consumers to invest in fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers will be keen to make the most of this trend and showcase their Green image by promoting zero-emission vehicles. Their endeavours are expected to expand the market size of hybrids from approximately 13,100 in 2010 to 131,500 in 2016 and EVs from 150 in 2010 to nearly 74,000 in 2016. Consequently, the volume of permanent magnet motors - the dominant electric motor technology in hybrids - is anticipated to increase from approximately 7,400 in 2009 to around 197,300 in 2016 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60 per cent. Meanwhile, the volume of induction motors - the favourite electric motor technology in EVs - is likely to escalate from 150 in 2010 to 42,000 in 2016 at a CAGR of 156 per cent.

To tap the hybrid and EV market optimally, motor manufacturers have to tweak their technology. Presently, permanent magnet motors are dominating the motor market for hybrid vehicles, while induction motors are used extensively in electric vehicles , says the analyst of this research. OEMs need to develop a variety of hybrid and EV models to compete with conventional vehicles. The incorporation of motor controllers in motor technologies, which will be operated by centralised hybrid or EV controllers, is a step in that direction.

Motors are likely to be the next-generation engines and will influence the future design and testing of vehicles for OEMs, notes the analyst. OEMs and suppliers have to collaborate closely to develop electric motors to catalyse the commercialization of alternative powertrain vehicles.
