Market Overview

Increasing Industry Awareness on the Benefits of Low-voltage Drives Improves Progressive Adoption

Launched in the latter part of the 1970s, low-voltage drives have witnessed positive market growth rates in the last few years. Traditionally, these drives were restricted to very specific applications but in 1995, lower priced drives that were easily programmable widened their presence in the market, especially in low-end segments.

"Market growth can also be attributed to the increasing awareness of its energy saving and enhanced process performance benefits among end users," notes the analyst of this research service. "As Latin American countries’ energy infrastructure is deficient and lacks investments, causing frequent blackouts, companies are increasingly adopting drives to reduce energy costs." This is propelling the low-voltage drives market forward. Additionally, complex applications in many industries, some of them heavy commodities exporters, are increasingly using drives as a way to gain efficiency, mainly for mid-range and high-end drives. This is likely to sustain low-voltage drives market in the following years.

Product Differentiation and Specialization Can Help Participants Tackle Price Competition

There have been promising sales in the Latin American low-voltage drives market. The great majority of units sold are micro drives, mainly due to its affordable prices and short lifecycle. In 2006, the low-end segment contributed substantially with a large parcel of total units sold. However, increasing competition has resulted in price reduction, especially in the micro and low-end drives. The presence of a local manufacturer that benefits from tax exemption, WEG, and the decreasing exchange rates pressure prices downward. Moreover, participation of Asian companies is further intensifying competition. As a result, prices among competitors have become similar, making it hard for companies to profit from sales.

"Hence, participants can benefit from concentrating their efforts toward the mid-range and high-end segments that are expected to have higher growth rates," says the analyst. "They stand to gain from developing specialized portfolios and solutions for each vertical, selling the whole solution including equipment other than drives, and extending improved technical support to end-users."
