EV Traction Motor Market is Projected to Reach USD 150.9 Billion by 2035 | Zytek Group Limited, YASA Motors Ltd, Valeo SA, SKF AB, and Parker-Hannifin Corp.

The global EV traction motor market is poised for exponential growth, valued at USD 16.2 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 150.9 billion by 2035. This expansion reflects a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.0% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2035. The surge is driven by the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), stringent emission regulations, and advancements in motor technologies. As global EV sales continue to rise—reaching 14 million new EVs in 2023, up from 10.5 million in 2022 according to the IEA Global EV Outlook 2024—traction motors are becoming essential for efficient power delivery, high torque, and energy optimization. This market evolution is further fueled by investments in sustainable transportation and innovations in motor designs, positioning EV traction motors as key components in the shift towards electrification.

Market Segmentation and Trends:

The EV traction motor market is segmented by motor type, voltage rating, vehicle type, and region, offering a comprehensive view of its dynamics. By motor type, segments include permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), which dominate due to their high efficiency and torque, and asynchronous motors, the fastest-growing for their cost advantages and reduced reliance on rare earth elements. By voltage rating, high voltage motors (>400V) lead for high-performance EVs and plug-in hybrids, while low voltage (48V) motors are surging in mild hybrids for affordability. By vehicle type, electric vehicles (EVs) hold the largest share, relying solely on traction motors, with mild hybrid vehicles growing rapidly through 48V systems for fuel efficiency.

Regionally, the market covers North America, Latin America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, East Asia, South Asia & Pacific, and the Middle East & Africa, with country-specific analyses for major markets. Trends include the development of axial flux motors, switched reluctance motors (SRMs), and integrated motor-drive systems for enhanced performance and efficiency. The market is also seeing growth in magnet-free designs to address supply chain vulnerabilities, while AI and IoT integrations optimize motor control for better energy management.
