The Global Electric Commercial Vehicle Traction Motor Market is estimated to be worth USD 14.61 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a staggering CAGR of 15.68% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2035, ultimately reaching USD 72.53 billion by 2035. As the global transportation ecosystem moves rapidly toward electrification, traction motors have become the powerhouse of electric commercial mobility, propelling everything from heavy-duty trucks and buses to light-duty vans and specialized utility vehicles. These motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion with precision, enabling not only efficient propulsion but also energy regeneration, thereby extending vehicle range and enhancing overall system efficiency.
The acceleration in e-mobility initiatives, coupled with stringent regulatory frameworks focused on reducing carbon emissions, has pushed automakers and logistics companies alike to adopt electric commercial fleets. This demand surge has underscored the importance of traction motor technologies such as permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), which are lauded for their high power density and efficiency. Meanwhile, induction motors and switched reluctance motors are being increasingly explored for cost-effectiveness and robustness in heavy-duty applications. Notably, advancements in cooling methods—including liquid and water cooling—are empowering manufacturers to design compact motors that dissipate heat more effectively while optimizing continuous power delivery, particularly in high-load, long-haul commercial scenarios.
From a regional standpoint, North America is poised to be a key contributor to revenue, driven by government-backed electrification mandates, expanding charging infrastructure, and aggressive fleet electrification commitments from companies like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS. Europe follows closely, leveraging its firm legislative stance on climate neutrality and a strong foundation of automotive OEMs heavily investing in clean commercial mobility. However, Asia Pacific is projected to dominate the growth curve, with China leading the charge through robust electric bus and truck adoption, supported by generous subsidies, battery technology hubs, and cost-effective production capabilities. India and Southeast Asian markets are also emerging as pivotal arenas for electric logistics transformation.
