Global Variable Frequency Drive Market: Drivers
Variable frequency drivers are used in electrical vehicle charging stations. Variable frequency drivers are used to control the charging rate of battery. The demand for electric vehicles are increasing worldwide which driving the growth of variable frequency driver market. For instance, according to International Energy Agency, in 2025, total number of electric cars on the road are 16.5 Billion.
Global Variable Frequency Drive Market: Restraints
Technical challenges related to VFDs
Technical challenges related to VFDs is expected to hamper growth of the global variable frequency drive (VFD) market during the forecast period. A majority of VFDs emit a series of pulses that are rapidly switched. In the presence of long cable between the motor and VFDs, these reflected pulses can lead to voltage production that exceeds line voltage, causing stress in motor windings and the cable. This, in turn, is leading to insulation failures, particularly for motors operating at 480 volts or higher. If these details are overlooked during installation phase, performance of VFDs can significantly hamper productivity of process systems, which can further lead to revenue losses.
