Description

The radiation-hardened motor controller and motor drive market in South and Central America is projected to grow from USD 3.49 million in 2023 to USD 4.06 million by 2031, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.9% during this period.

Executive Summary and Market Analysis

The market is primarily segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South America (SAM). The region is actively enhancing its presence in the aerospace sector through various strategic initiatives. Notably, in September 2024, Saudi Arabia entered into a partnership with the Brazilian Space Agency to foster collaboration in peaceful space exploration. In 2023, Brazilian companies CENIC and Akaer secured contracts with Finep (Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos) to develop small-launch vehicles capable of deploying multiple nano- and micro-satellites into geostationary orbit. The Brazilian Space Agency (AEB) plays a crucial role in overseeing space exploration in Brazil and has been pivotal in launching the country’s space program and promoting international cooperation.

Additionally, in June 2024, Brazil and China signed an agreement to jointly construct the CBERS-5 geostationary satellites, which will provide vital meteorological data, including information on heavy rainfall, cyclones, and environmental hazards. Argentina also made strides in space exploration by signing the US-led Artemis Accords in 2023, which outlines future practices for space exploration. These government initiatives and collaborations are significantly driving the growth of the radiation-hardened motor controller and motor drive market in the region.

Market Segmentation Analysis

The South and Central America radiation-hardened motor controller and motor drive market is categorized by type and application.

By Type: The market is divided into motor controllers and motor drives, with motor drives holding a larger market share in 2023.
By Application: The applications include space exploration, military and defense, nuclear power plants, and others, with space exploration dominating the market share in 2023.

Market Outlook

Manufacturers of advanced electronic components for real-time imaging, 5G/6G communications, and nuclear instrumentation face challenges due to the limited availability of radiation-hardened components. The development of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions is seen as an attractive option to mitigate the high costs associated with these challenges in space operations. COTS products are well-established, built on robust architectures, and equipped with various peripherals like Ethernet and CAN.

The radiation-hardened-by-design approach ensures consistent performance and reliability, offering financial advantages. COTS solutions also reduce development time and production costs, lowering entry barriers for new companies in the defense, space, and nuclear sectors. The appeal of radiation-hardened COTS solutions lies in their ability to facilitate rapid implementation in response to evolving demands and technological advancements. Consequently, the production of COTS is anticipated to create significant growth opportunities for the radiation-hardened motor controller and motor drive market.

Country Insights

The market is further analyzed by country, focusing on Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South and Central America. Brazil accounted for the largest market share in 2023. The Brazilian government is committed to expanding its space industry through various partnerships that support the growth of the radiation-hardened motor controller and motor drive market. For instance, the strategic cooperation agreement signed with the Saudi Space Agency in September 2024 aims to enhance space exploration efforts. Additionally, Visiona, a Brazilian aerospace firm, is looking to expand its satellite operations. The Saudi Space Agency's initiatives to improve infrastructure, attract investments, and implement space technology for sustainable development are expected to create further growth opportunities for market players in Brazil during the forecast period.
