Overview of micro motor industry and the future

Industry Review

China's micro motor industry was founded in twentieth Century 50 in the late 1980s,from the beginning in order to meet the needs of national defense equipment,experienced imitation, self design and research and development stage, it has beenmore than 40 years of development history, has formed a complete industrial system of product development, the scale of production and the key parts, the key material,special manufacturing equipment, test equipment. According to statistics, China'smicro motor production and supporting manufacturers in the home to more than 1000,more than 100000 employees, the total industrial output value of more than10000000000 yuan. The micro motor industry has become indispensable to the national economy and the modernization of national defense construction in a basic product industry.

The characteristics of the industry

The micro motor to motor with diameter less than 160mm or the rated power is less than 750mW or with special properties, special purpose. The micro motorcomprehensive high-tech industry, microelectronics, multi discipline motor power electronic, computer, automatic control, precision machinery, new materials, especially the application of electronic technology and new materials to promote thetechnological progress of micro motor.

Many varieties of micro motor (more than 5000 kinds of specifications), complex,market application field is very extensive, covering all aspects of the national economy, national defense equipment, human life, those who need to occasionselectric drive can see micro motor.

Micro motor manufacturing process, involving the precision machinery, fine chemicals,fine processing, magnetic materials processing, manufacturing, winding insulation treatment technology, process equipment need a large quantity, high precision, in order to ensure the quality of the products but also needs a series of sophisticated testing equipment, is a strong industry investment. In short, micro motor industry is a high-tech industry labor intensive and technology intensive.

The market situation

In the continuous development of world economy, people's living standards continue to improve, the miniature motor as the basis of mechanical and electrical productsindispensable, it not only has low investment, low, mid-range of labor-intensive products, and uses the high investment of technology intensive products and application of advanced manufacturing technologies, emerging electronic technology and new material technology combination, and has integration into the globalization of production and sales.

In 2000, the global micro motor market in more than 6500000000, mainly distributed in the audio-visual, office automation, electric vehicles (including cars, home appliancesand air conditioning field). Table 1 lists the share of the 2000 World micro motormarket distribution situation and Japan (here it should be pointed out that the Japanese market share in the low-end, most of micro motor has been transferred to the mainland production in China). With the improvement of people's living standard,the miniature motor in the rapid market development. The number of each home hasusually micro motor can be the measure of a country's modernization level, from table 2 we can know the developed countries Japan every family has history status of micro motor number increased year by year and the future growth trend, the market demand of rapid development, there is a huge market.

Japan in AV, OA with micro motor is light, thin, small home appliances, air conditioningwith micro motor efficiency, mute, industrial servo micro motor high performanceaspects of a large number of research and development work, in a leading position in the world, the product technology content, to occupy the vast majority of the world of high-end micro motor market.

The status of industry

Since twentieth Century since the 80's, a miniature motor on growing domestic demand. China has imported more than 50 production lines, the realization of the 25categories, 60 series, 400 varieties and 2000 large quantities, specifications miniaturemotor scale production. The main products are brushless permanent magnet DC motor, small power AC motor, AC and DC series excited motor, shaded pole motor,stepping motor, vibration motor (by phone) etc..

China's micro motor output in 1999 of about 3000000000 units, including private andstate-owned enterprises in the production of about 250000000 Taiwan owned enterprise yield about 1200000000 Taiwan, Hongkong area yield about 1400000000 Taiwan (Dechang company 1200000000), the output of about 180000000 stations in Taiwan area. In 2000 the production of about 3900000000 units, accounting for 60% of the global total output.

Micro motor with high technical content, such as precision brushless motor, high speed synchronous motor, stepping motor, high precision sheet winding brushlessmotor, high performance servo motor and a new principle and new structure of ultrasonic motor has not been formed in China commercial or production ability. So the domestic for high precision micro motor is also dependent on imports. According to customs statistics, the 1995~2000 average annual growth of 26.9% in 2001,although the use of foreign exchange, an increase of 4.81%, is $1197000000.

Industry in the future

China from 1995 to 2000 with an average annual earnings growth of 18.6% micro motor exports in 2001 than in 2000 to reduce 6.02%. Affected by the United States "9.11" incident, the United States, Japan's economy suffered a serious setback the global economic recession, is the main factor to reduce the export of the 2001. Table 3 lists the customs statistical 1995~2001 years micro motor export situation. In 2000 the world miniature motor market of about 6500000000 units, the export of China

2726000000, accounting for the international market share of about 42%, of which321511000 sets of toy motor, micro motor 2382396000 sets <37.5W, >37.5W AC and DC motor, DC motor, generator 19706000 sets, 2377000 sets of <750W.

After joining the WTO, the global economic environment of China, micro motorindustry has entered the opportunities and challenges, only to Pinbo, fierce competition, to capture a bigger share of the international market.
