The Global Axial Flux Motor Market Size is expected to reach USD 395.5 Million by 2032, at a CAGR of 10.1% during the forecast period 2022 to 2032.

Axial flux motors are ideal for applications requiring a high torque density in a small impact. Because of their extremely low axial length-to-diameter ratio, axial flow drives are also known as flattened and pancake electrically commutated motors. While using the same electrical components, it produces more torque and power density than radial flux motors. The battery runs longer in an axial flux motor with this feature, making these motors cheaper to manufacture. Additionally, by reducing the amount of space occupied by machinery, axial motors reduce vehicle weight. The increasing investment of transportation businesses in the electric vehicle market would provide significant growth opportunities for the axial flux motor market.

Driving Factors

This revolution, which represents a global transition away from conventional internal combustion engine vehicles and toward electric-powered vehicles, will have a significant impact on the automobile industry and other sectors. One component of this driver is the rapid growth of the EV sector. As public awareness of climate change and air pollution grows, consumers and governments are turning to electric vehicles. As a result, automakers are increasing their production of electric vehicles, which fuels demand for axial flux motors. These motors are highly desired in EVs due to their small size and high-power density, which are critical for increasing efficiency and range. This integration is most visible in the wind turbine and hydropower generator industries. Because of their efficiency in capturing wind energy, axial flux motors are more important than ever in the context of wind turbines. Because of their high-power density, these motors are ideal for wind turbines because they increase the amount of electricity that can be generated through wind power.

Restraining Factors        

Axial flux motors are more expensive than radial flux motors because they are more difficult to manufacture and design, and also because there are fewer production technologies and tools available. Manufacturing yokeless stator axial flux motors and regulating motor temperature has always been difficult for manufacturers. Major motor manufacturers are only able to produce prototypes of this type of motor, which drives up the price of the motor. Axial flux motors are predicted to grow slowly due to a lack of technology and production facilities during the forecast period.
