Global Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Brushless Motor Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Brushless Motor market size is predicted to grow from US$ 223 million in 2025 to US$ 3,582 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 47.9% from 2026 to 2032.

Axial flux permanent magnet brushless motors are a type of brushless motor where the magnetic flux passes through the stator and rotor parallel to the motor's rotational axis. The overall shape resembles a flat disc, with both the rotor and stator typically featuring disc-like structures. Permanent magnets generate the magnetic field, and electronic commutation replaces traditional mechanical commutation mechanisms. This motor features high torque density, compact size, and lightweight construction. Torque increases proportionally to the cube of the rotor diameter, making it suitable for applications demanding stringent installation space and power performance requirements.

In 2024, global sales of axial flux permanent magnet brushless motors reached 19,920 units, with an average selling price of $11,430 per unit.

Development Trends

Cost Reduction Through Technological Innovation: Overcoming cost and manufacturing bottlenecks via material and structural innovations. Examples include:

- SMC powder metallurgy technology to reduce iron losses

- Yoke-less designs significantly reducing core weight

- PCB stator technology minimizing copper usage and enabling mass production

- Ferrite + stepped segmented magnets for rare-earth-free solutions, expected for mass production by 2026, promising substantial cost reductions.

Integration and Customization: Advancing toward integrated designs, such as coaxial nesting of stators with harmonic reducers to compress axial length. Simultaneously, customized development for diverse scenarios—e.g., ultra-thin PCB axial flux motors for dexterous robotic hands and specialized motors meeting eVTOL high-power demands.

Multi-sector penetration expansion: Beyond current applications in premium automobiles, humanoid robots, and eVTOLs, penetration is expanding into construction machinery, electric motorcycles, and generator sets, continuously broadening application scenarios. Furthermore, exploration of axial-radial hybrid flux topologies will enhance adaptability to more complex operating conditions.
