Abstract
"All this new demand coming from Eastern Europe, India, Brazil and especially
China has led to higher prices for commodities. On the negative side, the huge
run up in copper prices has led to significant pressures on margins for large
electrical machine manufacturers. Average selling prices of these machines
have stayed relatively stable, while prices for copper, a major component of
large motors and generators, have increased 75% in the first seven months of
2006. This increase follows copper' s 45% price increase in 2005. The commodity
price increases, as well as robust demand for large electrical machines,
enabled vendors to maintain pricing levels in 2005."
This is one of the many findings from the new IMS study of worldwide large
motors and generators. The worldwide large motors and generators market has
averaged growth close to 10% over the past two years, exceptional growth for a
large, mature industrial market. The report provides market forecasts and
analysis of the worldwide market for large motors and generators in 8 region
and for 10 industry sectors, including oil & gas, marine transportation, and
mining & minerals..
Trends and statistics, including revenues, units and average selling prices,
on power ratings, voltage, industry sectors, and rotor structure are provided
2003 to 2009. Summary profiles are presented for 12 leading suppliers
including Siemens, ABB, Rockwell, and GE. An analysis of the competitive
environment is also provided, including market shares for 2005.
This study is ideal for anyone looking for a detailed quantitative analysis of
the large motors and generators market. This includes motor and generator
manufacturers, component suppliers, end-users, industry consultants,
investment bankers, and VC' s.
