Description

The global Automotive Brushed Axial Electric Cooling Fan market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1077 million in 2025 to US$ 1298 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.7% from 2026 to 2032.

The vehicle brushed axial electric cooling fan is an electric fan assembly driven by a brushed DC motor (brushes + commutator) that provides forced airflow across heat exchangers—most commonly the radiator and A/C condenser—to stabilize operating temperatures and protect system reliability. In ICE vehicles, it is a key actuator for maintaining the engine within an optimal temperature window under low-speed/idle, hot ambient, towing, and transient load conditions, working as part of a closed thermal control chain with the water pump, radiator, thermostat, and ECU.

The supply chain is typically organized into upstream materials and components, midstream fan/motor assembly and module integration, and downstream OEM and aftermarket. Upstream includes engineering plastics (fan blades/shrouds), aluminum/steel structures and fasteners, copper windings, commutators/brush systems, bearings, magnets, wiring harnesses, and connectors. Midstream suppliers integrate the motor, impeller, shroud/frame, protective sealing, and (where applicable) basic control elements such as relay/step control circuits or resistor packs. In many vehicle programs, the fan is increasingly delivered as part of a front-end cooling module (radiator + condenser + fan/shroud and related hardware), improving packaging efficiency, assembly productivity, and system-level validation consistency. Downstream demand comes from OEM platform production and from replacement needs driven by vehicle parc size and operating environment.

In 2025, global vehicle brushed axial electric cooling fan production reached approximately 55 million sets, with an average global market price of around US$ 20 per set.

As electrification accelerates, the fan's role expands from a largely "engine-centric" radiator function toward supporting integrated thermal management, where multiple cooling loops (e-motor, power electronics, battery, cabin HVAC) may coexist and require coordinated airflow demand and temperature targets across multiple zones.

Technologically, brushed electronic fans remain attractive in certain cost-sensitive or moderate-duty applications because they offer simple control (voltage/step control), strong starting torque, and straightforward manufacturing. However, the brushed architecture faces structural limits: brush wear and commutator contact introduce lifecycle constraints, potential noise and electrical arcing effects, and higher maintenance risk over long duty cycles. As a result, many platforms continue shifting toward brushless solutions for higher efficiency, longer service life, and finer speed control. Even so, brushed fans can retain practical relevance—especially in 12V/24V architectures and in segments where total cost and supply robustness outweigh lifetime optimization, including selected commercial/utility applications and parts of the aftermarket.

On the application side, ICE demand is tied to radiator and condenser heat rejection needs plus platform-specific cooling strategies (single vs dual fan, staged vs variable control). In NEVs, more stringent thermal windows and multi-circuit cooling/heating requirements increase the importance of control precision and system integration. This pushes the industry toward higher-efficiency airflow designs, lightweight and robust materials, better sealing and durability validation, and tighter coordination with thermal controllers. Competitive advantage increasingly concentrates among suppliers that can deliver OE-grade reliability, NVH/EMC compliance, scalable manufacturing quality, and strong module/system integration capability.
