According to Fortune Business Insights™, the global AC servo motors and drives market was valued at USD 6.80 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 10.79 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.64% during the forecast period. The rising adoption of industrial robots, smart machines, and Industry 4.0 technologies is driving demand for advanced AC servo systems worldwide.
An AC servo system is a closed-loop control solution comprising a servo motor and drive, designed to deliver precise speed, motion, and positioning. The drive acts as an electric amplifier, regulating the motor’s performance in real-time. With benefits like superior stability, high efficiency, and reduced sensitivity to parameter variations, these systems are increasingly integrated into modern manufacturing lines, robotics, and aerospace applications.
By Product Type:
Servo motors (synchronous & induction) dominate due to their precision and efficiency, especially in aerospace for powering hydraulic pumps and wing flaps. Servo drives are growing rapidly with the development of compact, high-power models.
By Voltage Range:
Low-voltage (<230V) systems lead the market, favored for mobile robotics and compact automation, thanks to their cost-effectiveness and easy maintenance.
By Phase Type:
Three-phase AC servo motors are preferred for heavy-duty automation due to their high torque and speed control.
By Communication Protocol:
Fieldbus currently dominates, but Industrial Ethernet (supporting EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP) is set for strong growth as industries adopt real-time communication and advanced connectivity.
By End-Use Industry:
