According to Omani Government Data, under the Vision 2040, government has mandated higher energy efficiency in motors for new infrastructure projects. Other initiatives such as desalination plant tenders now evaluate the lifecycle costs rather than upfront prices, favouring the premium IE3/IE4 motors. Public Authority for Water (Diam) is one of the regulatory bodies who has issued guidelines for motor efficiency in pumping stations. Furthermore, incentives are being provided for renewable-powered pumping systems and industrial retrofits to reduce carbon intensity.
The future of Oman Electric Motor Market is bright. In the coming years, the market is predicted to benefit from modernization of infrastructures, expansion of desalination, and oil & gas downstream diversification. Other factors such as adoption of IE3/IE4 motors, smart drives, and predictive maintenance will be continued to dominate the market. Local service networks are likely to expand as OEMs strengthen presence in Oman. Further, cold chain growth, renewable-linked pumping, and high-efficiency HVAC retrofits will shape long-term demand.
According to Vasudha, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, AC motors are expected to dominate Oman’s market due to their durability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility in desalination, oil & gas machinery, and HVAC applications. Due to their compatibility with VFDs makes them ideal for water pumping and industrial machinery, giving them an edge over DC and hermetic motors.
Motors in the 1-100 kW range will lead the market due to widespread use in desalination pumps, industrial free zones, and commercial HVAC systems. Smaller units (<1 kW) support appliances, while larger units (>100 kW) are mainly used in oil & gas refineries.
High-voltage (60 V & above) motors dominate because of their necessity in desalination, municipal pumping, and heavy industrial drives. Further, lower voltage motors serve appliances and electronics, but Oman’s infrastructure projects skew demand toward high-voltage categories.
Industrial machinery is expected to capture the largest Oman Electric Motor Market Share diversification into petrochemicals, logistics, and food processing. HVAC applications remain strong due to rapid urban and hospitality growth, but heavy-duty industrial installations provide the largest share.
Medium-speed motors dominate Oman’s market and being widely deployed in desalination pumps, HVAC fans, compressors, and oil & gas operations. Their balance of performance, efficiency, and reliability ensures consistent adoption.
