This is one of the many findings from the latest IMS Research study on the
worldwide market for direct drives. The report provides market forecasts and
analysis of the World and the Americas markets for three different products:
linear motor components, linear motor systems, and torque motors. For each of
the above segmentations the report is further sub-divided by: product type
(for linear motors only), product size, industry sector, geographic region,
sales channel, and number of axis (for linear motor systems only). A detailed
analysis of these results, which are provided both in terms of revenues and
unit shipments, is also included.
An analysis of the competitive environment is also provided, including market
shares for 2004, as well as a matrix of companies active in the market.
This study is ideal for anyone looking for a detailed quantitative analysis of
the worldwide and the Americas direct drives market. This includes
manufacturers looking to enter the direct drives market, or a particular
product range in this market, as well as companies looking to break into new
regional markets, as well as investment bankers and VC's.
