Wastewater is referred to as water that has been utilized for a purpose for which it is no longer useful, and its treatment has gained significant attention owing to environmental and public health concerns. Hence, the demand for low voltage drivers is estimated to increase. The major factor influencing the usage of low voltage drivers in waste water treatment is that it gives better control over process and also reduce the labor.
  • Growing Demand for Energy - World energy demand increased by about 3% in 2018; if the trends continue, global energy consumption would increase by a further approximately 29% by 2040 to about 739 million terajoules. Hence, the demand for low voltage drives is estimated to increase. Moreover, low voltage drives are known for efficiently saving energy. Saving energy is the most effective method of meeting growing demand. Hence, using low voltage drives cut down the energy consumption, and it is expected to boost the market’s growth in the upcoming years.
  • Rising Production of Plastic - The anticipated global plastics output for 2021 was about 389 million metric tons, an increase of 4% year.
  • Surge in Demand for Electric Vehicles - Despite supply chain snags and the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, electric car sales hit a record high in 2021 throughout the main auto markets. Sales nearly doubled to more 5 million across the globe, representing a sales share of approximately 8%, compared to 2020, increasing the total number of electric vehicles on the road to about 15 million.
  • Upsurge in Extraction of Oil - In 2021, there were about 90 million barrels of oil produced day globally. With approximately 94 million barrels produced, oil production in 2019 reached a record high.

Challenges

  • High Cost of Low Voltage Drives – Even, though the low voltage drives are known to be the most efficient than all other substitutes, its price stands as a biggest restraint for the growth of the market. Hence, large number of manufacturers prefer substitute for the same. Moreover, the shortage of semiconductor also led an increase in price of low voltage drives all around the globe. Moreover, drives manufacturers were forced to use the black market since some semiconductor components went from being to about USD 3 to approximately USD 39 in price in 2022. The result was extremely volatile prices.
  • Interruptions in Supply Chain Logistics
  • Growing Restriction of Government for International Trade
