Market Highlights: A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a motor controller which drives an electric motor by changing the frequency and voltage supply. It is used to provide range of voltage and frequency for number of electric appliances and to the electric motor. It is also called as variable speed drive, adjustable frequency drive, adjustable speed drive, AC drive, inverter and microdrive. Variable frequency drive are solid-state regulators which are installed on the AC electric motors. It is also applicable for some DC electric motors to control its torque and speed. It helps to reduce the mechanical stress on the machines which eventually increases their shelf life. It is energy saving and improve performance. These Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) are broadly used in applications such as compressors, fans, conveyers and others. Variable frequency drives (VDF) are able to convert basic fixed frequency into variable frequency which help to enhance motor control. The use of variable frequency drives provide efficiency in power, cost savings and voltage flow control. Furthermore, VDF equipment is more reliable compared to the traditional mechanical approaches and the frequency variations are more useful in number of electrical appliances and end-user industries. Increasing need for energy efficiency and cost savings is anticipated to drive the growth of the market. In addition, rapid urbanization and industrialization in emerging economies such as China, India, Australia providing more opportunity for the market growth. Geographically, Asia pacific region is expected to grow with highest growth rate and able to gain high market share followed by North America and Europe. According to recent research of Enerdata 2019, China was the main contributor to the global power generation growth. In 2019, the power generation in China has been increased by 4.7 % compared to power generation in 2018. The market study is being classified by Type (Mechanical Drives, Electrical Drives and Fluid Drives), by Application (Electric Fans, HVAC, Pumps, Conveyors, Compressor, Centrifuges and Other) and major geographies with country level break-up that includes South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), MEA (Middle East, Africa), North America (United States, Canada, Mexico).
Key Players: The prominent players in the Variable Frequencies Drives are Eaton (United States), Hitachi, Ltd. (Japan), Siemens AG (Germany), WEG S.A (Brazil), ABB (Switzerland), General Electric (United States), Rockwell Automation, Inc. (United States), Honeywell International Inc.
