This research service identifies the key trends, industry challenges, market drivers and restraints and competitive structure of the North American fractional horsepower motors market. This research service provides comprehensive forecasts for the total North American fractional horsepower motor market till 2017 with 2010 as the base year. Through the end-user analysis, the strategic importance and growth metrics of the end-user sectors under consideration for this research has been analyzed. The research also provides a product level forecasts and analysis for AC and DC, and lists the market shares of the top market participants.

A Fractional Horsepower (FHP) motor is an electric motor with a power rating of less than one horsepower and operates on either direct current or alternating current. In this research study, Servo and stepper motors, Integral horsepower motor, Universal motor, and after-sales services are not considered for revenue calculation. The different types of FHP motors covered in this study are represented below:

• AC electric FHP motors are powered by a current that is not constant but alternating. A stator and a rotor are the basic components of the AC motor, which work in AC Electric FHP contrasting unison to create an alternating current.
• DC electric FHP motors are essentially an AC motor, which is capable of mechanically and electrically converting DC power in to AC power. Permanent magnets are used to DC Electric FHP generate magnetic field, instead of electric field required in AC motors.

Key Findings of the Report

• Key challenges are the suppliers’ demand for the one-stop shop and short lead time in the market.
• Key drivers are the energy efficient standards set by the government and the rebate programs to promote the use of efficient motors in the market.
• The key restraints are the volatility of the raw material price and the entry of the foreign players increase the price competition.
• The HVAC and the automotive segments has shown a huge growth in the market and is expected to have great opportunity for future expansion of the business in the market.
