Low voltage AC Drives Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Power Rating (Micro (<5 kW), Low-End (5-40 kW), Midrange (>40-200 kW), High-end (>200 kW-600 kW) and Mega (>600 kW)), Technology, Application, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Low voltage AC Drives Market is accounted for $19.2 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $30.9 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 7.0% during the forecast period. Low voltage AC drives, also known as variable frequency drive (VFDs) or adjustable speed drives (ASDs), are devices used to control the speed and torque of AC motors in various industrial and commercial applications. These drives are designed to regulate the speed of the motor by varying the frequency and voltage of the power supplied to the motor. Low voltage AC drives offer features such as variable speed control, soft starting, and braking, making them essential components in industries such as manufacturing, HVAC, oil and gas, mining, water/wastewater treatment, and many others.
According to the US Department of Energy (DOE), HVAC systems accounted for a significant amount of a facility's energy use as these systems require 40-60% of a facility's power.
