Abstract
Description
The market for linear and torque motors continued to experience growth levels
far exceeding that of general industry during 2007 reaching a global value of
$1,023.4 million by the end of the year. This represents a $360 million (54%)
increase in value since the last time IMS Research measured this market in
2004 despite the recent slowdown in the global semiconductor and flat panel
machinery sectors.
One area of focus for this report is whether this market growth was due to
increased adoption of linear and torque motors into general industry, or
simply due to sustained growth in high-end industrial markets?
The report provides market size estimates and forecasts to 2011 for linear
motor components, modules and systems, and torque motor components, modules,
and systems, and shows market segmentation by product design, product size,
industry, accuracy, speed, and geographic region.
An analysis of the competitive environment is also provided, which includes
market shares for 2005, as well as a matrix of over 80 companies active in the
market.
IMS' aim in writing this report is to provide marketing and technical
executives with an up-to-date comprehensive description of the market for
these products and to identify the trends that will affect this market over
the next five years. The full world report is comprised of three regional
volumes, EMEA, Americas, and Asia Pacific, which constitute separate chapters
of the study; however, these chapters are available individually as required
