Global Frequency Converter Market Expected to Reach $39.7 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

The global Frequency Converter Market size was valued at $22.3 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $39.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6% from 2022 to 2031.

Frequency converters are electronic devices used in various applications including generation, transmission, distribution and use of electrical energy. They can control frequency, power, and voltage and improve efficiency of the equipment or machines such as motors, pumps, fans, and others. They offer advantages such as reduction in maintenance cost, increase lifetime of machines, improve processes, enable utilization of equipment imported from other countries, and others. They are used in various end use industries including aerospace & defense, power & energy, oil & gas, marine, and others.

Significant development of the end-use industries such as textile, automotive, paint & coatings, solar, pharmaceutical, chemicals, and healthcare, has fueled the demand for frequency converters to operate the machineries & equipment in industries at variable frequencies from above mentioned industries, and is thereby expected to drive the growth of the frequency converter market during the forecast period. In addition, increase in demand for frequency converters from developing economies such as India, China, and Japan, owing to presence of manufacturing facilities in the region fuels the growth of the market, globally. However, fluctuation in cost of raw materials & components and different electricity standards in different countries are the key factors that are expected to hamper the growth of the global frequency converter market in the upcoming years.

Depending on type, the rotary frequency converter segment held the highest market share of about 68.4% in 2021, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the frequency converter market forecast period. This is attributed to rise in demand for rotary frequency converters from applications including aerospace & defense, weapon systems, manufacturing facilities, rail & hydro facilities and.

In addition, rise in adoption of rotary frequency converters in large applications with power rating 10 kVA or more is further anticipated to boost the demand for rotary frequency converters in the coming years.

On the basis of end user, the aerospace & defense segment held the largest share in 2021, in terms of revenue, and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to rapid growth of the aerospace & defense industry across the globe for national security. In addition, frequency converters are increasingly used in applications including aviation and weapon systems, signal systems, and others, which is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

On the basis of region, the market is analyzed across four major regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. Asia-Pacific garnered the dominant share in 2021, and is anticipated to maintain this dominance in the frequency converter market trend during the forecast period. This is attributed to presence of key players and a huge consumer base in the region. In addition, rapid expansion of the renewable energy sector, rise in investment toward building & construction of modern grid infrastructure, and increase in R&D efforts in the region are further anticipated to fuel the growth of the market in the upcoming years.

• In 2020, Asia-Pacific region dominated the global frequency converter market with more than 39.6% share, in terms of revenue.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE GLOBAL FREQUENCY CONVERT MARKET

The worldwide spread of Coronavirus has a huge impact on various industries and countries across the globe. Owing to lockdown in economies worldwide, there has been decrease in the growth rate of industries such as construction & building, transportation, oil & gas, energy, food processing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and others. In addition, there is decrease in electricity demand from the COVID-19 affected regions, which is expected to hamper the growth of the frequency converter market in 2020. In Europe, economies such as Germany, France, Spain, Italy, and others, are following strict measures to break the spread of Coronavirus in their respective regions. As a result, there is huge impact on the supply chain and demand for the frequency converter, which in turn resulted in restraining the growth of the frequency converter market till the starting of businesses, productions, and manufacturing in the world. In addition, manufacturing firms in the U.S. faced supply chain and demand crisis due to labor shortages, stuck manufacturing, and construction works, which hampered the growth of the frequency converter market. Furthermore, other industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, healthcare, textile, automotive and others, have put R&D activities and production on hold owing to lack of funding, which in turn hampered the growth of the market during the pandemic period. Furthermore, halt in construction of new electric utility infrastructures, renewable power plants, grid network, and other power plants, due to lack of workers and increase in demand–supply gaps, hampered the market growth in the pandemic period. Thus, all these factors collectively resulted in sluggish growth of the global frequency converter market in 2020.
