Market Scope and Structure Analysis

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis

• Global AC servo system market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. New projects throughout the world have stalled, which, in turn, have significant led to decline in demand for AC servo system. 
• Global factories have struggled to manufacture and integrate new systems as workers have stayed in their homes, which have threatened the global supply chains.
• The AC servo system market would be less impacted than other markets for non-essential goods and services as these systems are essential part of automation. Moreover, the world would be shifting more toward automation so that no other pandemic can disrupt production.
• This COVID-19 crisis is expected to provide opportunities for companies to invest, implement, and research in technologies, which involve less human touch. For instance, combination of AI and automation.

Top Impacting Factors

As the Industry 4.0 is trending across the globe, demand for AC servo systems is likely to grow in the future. Automation and use of AI in industries has resulted into low cost, high production, reduced man power, and more precision in recent years. Growing industry 4.0 has created many opportunities for various industries to switch to AC servo systems rather than using conventional motors.

Shifting to using AC servo systems would help in enhancing overall production and streamline operations. The use of conventional motors in many small-scale industries and stepped motors hinder the market growth. Moreover, IOT, AI, cloud computing, development of low inertia, and highly dynamic AC servo systems are expected to drive the market globally.

New Product Launches to Flourish the Market

Rockwell Automation launched and released Linetix VPC AC servo systems in March 2020. These new AC servo systems have higher energy efficiencies and are better at performance than previous versions. By using this product torque ripple can be reduced and has its applications in high quality printing.

As products are developed according to its industrial uses, AC servo systems have flourished the market. AC servo systems provide more precision than conventional servo motors, so their demand is expected to increase further.
