Soft Starter Market Report by Type (Low Voltage Soft Starter, Medium to High Voltage Soft Starter), Application (Pumps, Fans and Blowers, Compressors), End Use Industry (Mining and Metal, Food and Beverage, Energy and Power, Oil and Gas, and Others), and Region 2024-2032
The global soft starter market size reached US$ 2.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 3.1 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3% during 2024-2032.
Soft starter, or reduced voltage starters, refer to an additional device that operates on the working principle of thyristor, which allows the conduction of current to flow in one direction. They aid in reducing the inrush currents and limiting torque temporarily in the powertrain during startup, which, in turn, assists in protecting the electronic equipment, extending mechanical components lifespan, eliminating motor heating, and preventing bumps. Apart from this, soft starters offer improved efficiency and controlled startup to ensure smooth starting, due to which it is extensively used in maintaining a three-phase voltage supply in pumps, fans, and compressors. Currently, soft starters are commercially available in low, medium, and high voltage types.
Soft Starter Market Trends:
One of the key factors primarily driving the soft starter market growth is the widespread product adoption across various industrial verticals due to the growing demand for industrial pumps and electric motors. In addition to this, the rising ongoing construction activities has intensified the deployment of a soft starter for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) applications, which is propelling the market growth. This is further supported by the growing product application in data center market, which aids in reducing the inrush current required for operating the systems. In line with this, numerous favorable initiatives being undertaken by the government bodies of several countries for investing in wastewater projects, wherein soft starter is incorporated in pumps and coolers to ensure access to clean water is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the large-scale integration of various digital solutions has enabled the development of soft starter in compact, flexible, and modular designs, which further offers various advanced features and functions to consumers and suppliers, including enhanced protection and superior communication capabilities, increased efficiency, and reduced downtime. This, in turn, is inflating the overall sales of the product across the globe.
