Global Frameless Torque Motors for Robotic Arm Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Frameless Torque Motors for Robotic Arm market size is predicted to grow from US$ 583 million in 2025 to US$ 1,175 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global Frameless Torque Motors for Robotic Arm production reached approximately 1,700 k units with an average global market price of around US$350 per unit. The frameless torque motor for robotic arms is a type of direct-drive motor that lacks the traditional motor structures such as the casing, bearings, and shaft. It typically consists of two parts: the stator and the rotor, and is directly integrated into the joints of the robotic arm. It is capable of providing torque output directly to drive the joints of the robotic arm for movement. With high torque density, high precision, and rapid response characteristics, it can effectively enhance the performance and motion control accuracy of the robotic arm.

The future development trend of frameless torque motors for robotic arms points to synchronized volume growth across three major application directions: industrial robots, collaborative robots, and humanoid robots. During its third-quarter 2025 earnings call, Kinco Automation disclosed that the main drivers of its robotics business growth are the rapid development of industrial robots, humanoid robots, and collaborative robots. Sales of frameless torque motors in the first three quarters achieved significant year-on-year growth, pushing the revenue share of its robotics business to exceed half of the company's total revenue for the first time. Leadshine Technology explicitly stated in its 2025 board of directors' work report that it has been continuously cultivating the robotics industry since 2018, and its frameless torque motor business has begun explosive growth, with annual deliveries exceeding 120,000 units. The company's core robotics components have entered the supply chains of 80 percent of mainstream domestic humanoid robot manufacturers, and it is currently constructing automated production capacity of two million units per year to meet downstream demand. Weiguang Holdings revealed during its 2025 earnings call that the robotic joint modules developed by its wholly-owned subsidiary have passed verification by individual complete machine manufacturers and have entered the small-batch delivery stage. These modules integrate frameless torque motors with components such as encoders, while the company's hollow cup motors are currently in the sample delivery stage. The policy front also provides clear support. The Science, Technology and Economy Commission of Shanghai Pudong New Area has issued a special application notice, providing rewards to enterprises undertaking the industrialization of humanoid robot core components, including frameless torque motors, at a certain percentage of the first batch sales contract value. In summary, the major trends in the frameless torque motor industry for robotic arms are as follows: the demand drivers cover three major scenarios of industrial robots, collaborative robots, and humanoid robots; the profit model is upgrading from single motor sales to system solutions for joint modules integrating encoders and reducers; and a company's revenue growth and profit margins will depend on its progress in industrializing core areas such as magnetic circuit optimization design, process consistency control, and module integration capabilities.
