Variable Frequency Drive Market Size Worth $39.66 Billion By 2030

Variable Frequency Drive Market Growth & Trends

The global variable frequency drive market size is expected to reach USD 39.66 billion by 2030 registering a CAGR of 5.6%, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The rapid development of semiconductor technology and rising consumer awareness of the benefits of energy-efficient products are two factors anticipated to fuel the expansion of the market. Similarly, the rising energy demand worldwide and the use of variable frequency drives (VFDs) to regulate the flow and speed of the fan to prevent energy loss are anticipated to promote the growth of the global market in the years to come.

More than 90% of the energy expended in the U.S. is used by residential refrigeration and HVAC systems equipment. VFDs aid in managing the speed of the motor in HVAC systems and reduces power consumption, which is expected to boost the growth of the market. Rising awareness about conserving energy and approaches to reducing excessive energy consumption is expected to increase demand for these devices. Additionally, rising demand for variable frequency drives from the food and beverage, automotive, and oil and gas industries are anticipated to promote market expansion.

The expansion of the market is anticipated to be hampered by the high cost of the product and maintenance. Furthermore, a workforce shortage is anticipated to pose a threat to market expansion. However, rising expenditure in the distribution and power generation industry as well as rising global oil & gas extraction operations are likely to open up new prospects for market participants in variable frequency drive in the years to come.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a big impact on the growth of the VFD market. In the industrial sector, variable frequency drives are frequently employed. The government's stringent lockdown and the closure of factories, however, reduced demand for variable frequency drives. In the 2nd quarter of 2022, the market for VFDs is anticipated to expand as previously halted production activities resume, thus reviving the market growth.
