Global Industrial Automation Variable-frequency Drive Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Industrial Automation Variable-frequency Drive market size is predicted to grow from US$ 5004 million in 2025 to US$ 7978 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2026 to 2032.
An Industrial Automation Variable-frequency Drive (VFD) is an electronic power-conversion device that adjusts the speed, torque, and direction of AC motors by varying input frequency and voltage. VFDs optimize motor performance, reduce energy consumption, enhance process control, and increase equipment longevity. Commonly used in pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, machining tools, and robotics, VFDs form a core component of modern industrial automation systems. They integrate power electronics, control algorithms, communication interfaces, sensing modules, and safety protections, supporting Industry 4.0 requirements such as predictive maintenance, networking, and high-efficiency motor control.
The industrial automation VFD industry chain starts with upstream suppliers of power semiconductors (IGBTs, SiC MOSFETs), capacitors, PCBs, microcontrollers, magnetic components, cooling systems, and industrial enclosures; moves into midstream VFD manufacturers who design control algorithms, assemble power modules, integrate communication interfaces, perform thermal and reliability testing, and develop application-specific firmware; and concludes with downstream OEMs, system integrators, and industrial end users across manufacturing, HVAC, water treatment, oil and gas, and mining sectors that deploy VFDs to improve motor efficiency, automation performance, and energy savings.
Current global projects include expansions of SiC-based high-efficiency VFD production in China, Japan, and Europe; new manufacturing lines for mid-power industrial drives in India and Southeast Asia; North American initiatives to localize VFD production for critical infrastructure; upgrades of European factories for Industry 4.0–ready VFDs with advanced connectivity; joint ventures between semiconductor suppliers and drive manufacturers to secure power-device supply; and multiple automation-system upgrade programs across water treatment, HVAC, and smart factories scheduled for commissioning between 2025 and 2028.
