Development Trends of AC Servo System Market

Foreign motion control manufacturers have rapidly expanded their strength through mergers and alliances, seeking a one-stop solution provider position. For example, Danaher has continuously acquired over 40 motion control manufacturers since 1995, including well-known brands such as Kollmogen, API, Pacific Scientific, Super Electric, Dover, NEAT, Thomson, Giddings&Lewis, Warner Motion, InMotion, Bautz, Micron, and Siedel. Parker is also expanding along the same line, with the most recent example being the acquisition of Bayside, while Schneider acquired Berger Lahr. Many emerging small businesses possess unique technologies or other core competencies, and will also find their own living space, thereby receiving more investment.

On an international scale, the continuous development of government and international standards has had a profound impact on the servo industry, such as the US Energy Act EPact II on energy efficiency regulations for motor systems, the US UL and NEC (NFPA) standards on safety regulations, and the EU RoHS, WEEE, and CE standards on environmental protection and safety regulations.

The market scope of communication servo systems is constantly expanding, increasingly replacing mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic transmission systems; The continuous replacement of DC servo by AC servo has led to a decrease of approximately 0.5% annually in the market share of DC servo, which is less than 15% in the entire servo market; At the same time, the cost and size of AC servo continue to shrink, which is also eroding the high-end stepper motor market. However, stepper motors themselves are also constantly improving their competitiveness and expanding market space. Therefore, while facing the impact, the market is also expanding, but the speed may not be as fast as AC servo.

We believe that in the process of developing the communication servo market in China, strong domestic brands will inevitably emerge, and international manufacturers will also benefit from it; To benefit our customers in the game of various powers and ultimately promote the maturity of the entire industry.
