Brush motors have been on the scene for a long time since their invention in the 18th century. They play a significant role in several mechanical applications. The Global Brush Motor Market, analyzed by Astute Analytica, is forecasted to witness a major rise in its revenue from US$ 7,431 Mn in 2021 to US$ 11,442.8 Mn by 2027, registering a CAGR of 7.5% during 2022-2027. In terms of volume, the market is registering a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. 

Brush motors rely on soft contacts called “brushes” to carry electric current. Brush motors are composed of four primary parts: the armature, commutator, permanent magnets (or stator), and brushes. When connected to a power source, the opposite polarities of the magnets create a magnetic field, which in turn creates motion as current is passed through the armature coils. In this system, the brushes are used to connect the rotating armature coils with the external power supply. As more current is sent to the armature coils, the strength of the electromagnetic field increases. The “brushes” used in brushed motors are typically made from carbon or graphite. They can also be outfitted with dispersed copper to improve their conductivity. Over time, these brushes wear down and must be replaced through regular maintenance.

The market is majorly driven by factors such as rising adoption of electric vehicles and low power requirements of brush motors. Electric vehicles adoption is taking place at a rapid pace across the world, this is due to growing demand for energy-efficient commuting and government support through subsidies and tax rebates. Electric vehicles lead to less air pollution, less noise pollution, higher efficiency, low maintenance cost, and low fuel and operating costs when compared to other conventional vehicles. Further, brushed motors are simple, inexpensive, and offer dependable control for motor speeds. Their low initial costs and reliability make brushed motors well suited for a range of applications. However, the high maintenance requirement and the growing automation of manufacturing process may hinder market growth over the forecast period.

Key Takeaways from the Global Brush Motor Market Report:

• Based on component, the rotor/armature segment holds the highest share in the Global Brush Motor Market in 2021. However, the brushes segment registers the highest CAGR over the projection period. Carbon brushes are the most critical point of the brush DC motor. Brushes are highly susceptible to wear, especially when running the brush motor outside of its parameters.
• In terms of type, the permanent magnet system records the highest market share in 2021 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. Permanent magnet types are smaller, more efficient, and reliable than other singly fed electric machines. The series – wound segment records the highest growth rate over the projection period.
• Based on power output, less than 750W o/p dominates the brush motor market in 2021. The segmental dominance is attributed to a wide range of general application of motors that falls under the category of less than 750 W. Some of the key applications are in massager, vacuum cleaner, power tool, automotive products, motorized toy, and kids’ car.
• In terms of industry, the transportation industry is the highest end-use industry in the market with a market share of 27% in 2021. The brush motor is majorly adopted in the automotive industry due to its simple functioning, linear performance, ease of use and easy affordability. Many automotive manufacturers use brushed DC motor for power windows, seats, etc. However, the HVAC segment registers the highest CAGR over the projection period 2022-2027. 
• Based on sales channel, the aftermarket segment holds the highest share in the brush motor market in 2021 and further registers the highest CAGR over the projection period. High rate of wear in brush motors boosts the share of aftermarket segment, due to frequent replacement of brushed motors in equipment.
• Asia Pacific is the highest shareholder region in the Global Brush Motor Market in 2021 and further registers the highest CAGR over the forecast period. The growth of the region is attributed to the development of the automotive, machinery, and fan & ventilation industries and high demand for better energy-efficient motors. Also, the region is witnessing high investments in the automotive industry, which in turn is propelling the growth of the brush motor market in the region.
