"The nature of the South African electric motor market is such that general economic growth increases the overall demand," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst
Manufacturers in this large and highly concentrated market operate primarily in one product area - the AC induction squirrel cage segment. While their biggest applications are in the metal and mining, process, machine building and automotive and transport industries, motors also play a significant role in all production processes in other sectors of the economy such as food processing, timber processing, light industry, agriculture, building and construction, printing and many others.
High-/premium-efficiency (efficiency 1) motors hold significant potential for increased revenues if end users are receptive to the short-term expense versus the long-term savings.
"High efficiency or efficiency 1 motors could potentially generate high revenue growth for motor manufacturers," explains Mauppa. "However, the adoption of these products has been restrained because of their high cost, compared to other motors. End users simply aren't willing to pay a few hundred more for an energy efficient motor that will save them thousands if not millions over the long term."
Although the customer base is gradually becoming more aware of the advantages of energy-efficient motors, greater education of end users could act to significantly increase interest in the new technology and provide scope for revenue growth.
