The report offers a comprehensive study of the following market segments and their leading categories:
According to Vasu, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, AC motors are expected to dominate the Iraq Electric Motor Market with their robustness, cost efficiency, and adaptability to industrial-grade drives. HVAC, pumps, and oil & gas machinery are more preferred, where continuous-duty operations demand durability. Further, AC motors provide better than other in terms of scalability and integration with VFD systems, making them the segment leader.
In Iraq, motors in the 1-100 kW range dominating the market with the support of the industrial facilities, HVAC modules, and utility pumps widely deployed across cities and oilfields. And sub-1 kW motors find usage in appliances, while >100 kW motors are crucial for heavy-duty oilfield pumps and power plants. Further, the balance of cost and performance makes 1-100 kW motors the most widely adopted.
21-60 V and 60 V & Above categories together lead the market as they align with requirements of HVAC systems, pumping stations, and industrial conveyors. Iraq’s utility and oil projects demand higher voltage stability and safe long-distance transmission, favouring this category. Meanwhile, 9 V & Below and 10-20 V remain limited to small appliances and electronics.
Industrial machinery applications lead the market owing to investments in oil & gas equipment, compressors, and manufacturing automation. Further, HVAC remains a strong secondary segment due to urban housing and commercial expansion. And, household appliances and motor vehicles contribute steadily but on a smaller scale compared to industrial deployments.
Medium-speed motors (1,001-25,000 RPM) is set to capture the largest Iraq Electric Motor Market Share due to their alignment with pumps, compressors, and HVAC fans. Their efficiency, durability, and compatibility with industrial drives make them more widely adopted than low- or high-speed motors.
