The digital version of an electric motor is known as a stepper motor. In stepper motors, the movement of the rotor takes place in discrete steps as per commands, as opposed to continuous rotation such as in the case of conventional motors. Stepper motors play an important role in industrial motor applications, owing to their accurate response to the applied electrical pulses and ease in operation. In terms of technology, permanent magnet stepper motors are preferred for high power applications, such as for industrial drive and navy propulsion applications. The preference for high power application is mainly due to the introduction of variable flux permanent magnet stepper motors with higher accuracy and control. On the other hand, hybrid stepper motors are anticipated to witness healthy growth in the medical equipment industry. Hybrid stepper motors are primarily used in medical equipment, such as surgical hand tools, medical pumps and ventilation equipment. Therefore, with advancement in stepper motor technology, the size of stepper motors has also decreased, mainly due to the growing penetration of miniature stepper motors in the electronics industry. This reduction in size is an important parameter responsible for the surge in demand. Additionally, the growing demand for waterproof stepper motors is expected to boost the demand for stepper motors during the forecast period.
The demand from the packaging and labeling industry for automation solutions has witnessed significant growth in the recent years. Modern stepper motors integrated with packaging machineries are more efficient, productive and reliable at a lower cost, which is an emerging trend witnessed in the stepper motor market.
Growing technological innovations and developments have led to the introduction of waterproof stepper motors. These waterproof stepper motors facilitate corrosion-free operation and are therefore, highly preferred in the food and beverage packaging industry, which is another trend observed in the global stepper motors market.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to dominate the global stepper market throughout the forecast period, owing to the presence of developing economies, such as China, in this region. China is also estimated to witness overproduction of stepper motors, owing to the sluggish demand in the market. North America is expected to register significant growth of the market in the forecast period. On the other hand, slower economic growth in the European market is going to hamper the demand for stepper motors in this region. Additionally, weak growth of the semiconductor market in japan is also pegged to affect the stepper motors market in the country.
