The servo motors and drives market size was valued at US$ 14.41 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 21.44 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 5.8% from 2024 to 2031.

The servo motors and drives market is segmented into five major regions-North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), the Middle East & Africa (MEA), and South & Central America. Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2023, followed by North America and Europe, respectively. The servo motors and drives market in APAC is segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of APAC. The growing adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies, such as computerized numerical control (CNC) machines, fuels the servo motors and drives the market. Servo motors and drives are commonly employed in CNC machines to enhance their performance, reliability, and precision. Servo motors provide improved control over motion, enabling accurate and smooth movements. This is critical for CNC machines that are used in precision-intensive activities such as turning, milling, and laser cutting. Numerous industries in APAC are adopting CNC machines to automate and streamline their production lines, which increases the adoption of servo motors and drives to ensure precise movement, positioning of machines, maintaining accuracy, and improving overall operations. For instance, according to Piran Advanced Composites data published in May 2024, CNC machines are highly used in automotive, electronics, semiconductor, aerospace, transportation, and medical sectors to automate manufacturing processes. Servo motors are equipped with encoders or resolvers that offer real-time input on the motor's position, direction, and velocity. This feedback loop enables CNC machines to make accurate modifications, resulting in great accuracy in machining operations. Servo motors improve CNC machine's ability to improve overall production efficiency and minimize operational downtime
