Global In-wheel Motor Market Analysis

The in-wheel motor market forecast is projected to be $4,120.60 million in the 2021-2028 timeframe, growing from $612.0 million in 2020, at a healthy CAGR of 27.10%.

Market Synopsis

The growing demand for the utilization of electric vehicles is the key driving factor expected to augment the demand for in-wheel motors, aiding the expansion of in-wheel motor market size.

However, the reduction in vehicle production globally is predicted to hamper the market growth.

According to the regional analysis of the market, the Asia-Pacific in-wheel motor market share is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 27.70%, by generating a revenue of $1,682.40 million during the in-wheel motor market forecast period.

 In-wheel Motor Market Overview

An in-wheel motor is a type of electric vehicle drive system. Traditional electric vehicles are designed to replace gasoline engines with electric motors. However, the in-wheel motors are installed around each drive wheel to drive the wheels directly. The motors are mounted near each drive wheel which move the wheels through a very small drive shaft. Due to the very small drive shaft, there is almost no time lag associated with rotation, the engine output is immediately transmitted to the wheel and the wheel can be controlled very accurately.

Covid-19 Impact on In-wheel Motor Market

The Covid-19 impact on in-wheel motor market has been negative. The imposed lockdown measures globally affected the automobile industry for the sales of new vehicles and transportation of raw materials such as electronics devices and steel that are required for manufacturing automotive parts got delayed due to the COVID-19, negatively impacting the growth of the in-wheel motor market. During the pandemic period, the reduction in utilization of automobiles, both passenger and commercial vehicles due to decrease in mobility and lockdown restrictions across the world has adversely affected the in-wheel motor market share.

The Scope of Improving the Fuel Efficiency of the Vehicle is a Major Driving Factor that is Expected to Augment the Demand for In-wheel Motor Market

The basic advantage that an in-wheel motor provides is high power output for the same size of engine with improved fuel efficiency. Conventional EVs feature a design where the gasoline engine is substituted with an electric motor. The in-wheel motor EV, though, installs motors right around each of the driving wheels to directly power the wheels. In addition to this, in-wheel motor, motors are installed close to each of the drive wheels and are moving the wheels through extremely small drive shafts. Since the drive shafts are so small, the time lag that arises with the rotation all but disappears, and motor power is transmitted to the wheels instantaneously, making it possible to control the wheels very precisely. These factors are expected to aid the in-wheel motor market growth in the forecast period.

The Reduction in Production of Vehicles Globally to Restrain the Market Growth.

The reduction in production of vehicles due to events such as the global pandemic of Covid-19 that led to decrease in utilization of vehicles across the world can hamper the growth of in-wheel motors market as the demand for the in-wheel motors is dependent on the usage of vehicles. In addition to this, the lack of financing or expensive financing options for manufacturers in many countries are anticipated to hamper the market growth to hamper market growth.

The Adoption of Electric In-wheel Motors in Developing Countries is Expected to Create Opportunities for In-wheel Motor Market

The factors such as rising demand for low-emission vehicles and government regulations to support long-distance zero-emission vehicles through subsidies and tax refunds have forced manufacturers to offer EVs including EV parts around the world with a bright scope in the developing countries such as China, India, Vietnam, and others, which complements the demand for components such as in-wheel motors. These are the positive in-wheel motor market trends that are expected to act as facilitators of the in-wheel motor market growth during the forecast period.

The battery electric vehicle sub-segment is estimated to have a dominating market share in the global market and register a revenue of $1,910.90 million in year 2028, with a healthy CAGR of 26.70% during the forecast period. 
The battery electric vehicle engines are generally installed in commercial vehicles as the cost of battery electric vehicle is less than that of hybrid electric vehicle. Commercial vehicles that are utilized for goods transportation, in mines for raw material transportation, and lifting heavy load require in-wheel motors as an essential component for optimum operational efficiency of the engine. These factors are expected to aid the growth of this sub-segment.

The hybrid electric vehicle sub-segment of the global in-wheel motor market is projected to have the fastest growth and register a revenue of $1,496.20 million during the analysis timeframe, growing at a healthy CAGR of 27.70%. The utilization of hybrid electric vehicle has advantages such as that the vehicles are more fuel efficient than petrol engines and are more environment friendly than the petrol vehicles. The hybrid electric vehicles generate more torque (pulling power) than their petrol counter parts. These factors are expected to aid the growth of hybrid electric vehicle sub-segment in the forecast period.
