Automotive Small and Medium Brushed DC Motor Research Report
Automotive Small and Medium DC Motors refer to low-power direct current motors used extensively in auxiliary automotive systems, typically operating at 12V, 24V, or 48V, with power ratings ranging from a few watts to several hundred watts. These motors are integral to functions such as power windows, seat adjustment, HVAC blowers, fuel pumps, electronic parking brakes, mirror positioning, and tailgate automation.
Brushed DC motors represent traditional technology, utilizing mechanical commutators (carbon brushes contacting commutator segments) for current switching. They offer advantages such as simple structure, low cost, and easy control, accounting for 56.90% of the global automotive small and medium DC motor revenue market share in 2024. Typical applications include cost-sensitive and stable-operation scenarios like power windows, wiper systems, and basic seat adjustments. However, limitations like shorter lifespan (typically 5,000-10,000 hours due to brush wear), electrical spark interference, and relatively low efficiency (generally 60-75%) have gradually reduced their adoption in new energy vehicles and smart components. Current technological improvements focus on wear-resistant materials (e.g., metal-graphite brushes) and enhanced sealing processes to extend maintenance intervals.
According to the new market research report “Automotive Small and Medium Brushed DC Motor - Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2025-2031”, published by QYResearch, the global Automotive Small and Medium Brushed DC Motor market size is projected to reach USD 9.81 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 1.4% during the forecast period.
The market for automotive small and medium brushed DC motors continues to experience slow growth, primarily driven by their irreplaceable position in economy vehicles and traditional internal combustion engine cars. Despite the increasing adoption of brushless motor technology, brushed motors remain the preferred choice for automakers in entry-level models and basic functional systems due to their ultra-low manufacturing costs, simple drive circuits, and mature supply chains. This is particularly evident in emerging markets, where price-sensitive consumers and local automotive brands favor the long-proven brushed motor solutions. Moreover, the vast global fleet of existing fuel vehicles provides a stable demand foundation for the aftermarket, further extending the market lifecycle of brushed motors.
Future development trends will showcase differentiated characteristics, with brushed motors maintaining competitiveness in specific niches through continuous optimization. Advances in materials science have significantly extended the lifespan of new composite brushes and wear-resistant commutators, with some products now approaching the longevity of early-generation brushless motors. In 48V mild hybrid systems, improved designs have opened new application spaces for brushed motors, such as auxiliary water pumps and low-power actuators. Meanwhile, the integration of smart control technologies enables traditional brushed motors to achieve energy consumption optimization and condition monitoring, meeting the basic requirements of modern vehicle electronic architectures. Although their overall market share may gradually decline, brushed motors will maintain long-term importance in cost-sensitive applications like commercial vehicle auxiliary systems, specialty vehicles, and the aftermarket.
