An adjustable frequency drive AFD is also known as a variable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, or variable-speed drive. It is a form of alternating current (AC) motor drive that regulates speed and torque by altering the rate of the input power. AFDs are used to regulate the speed of a motor by varying the frequency of the power. An AFD may regulate the motor's speed at any time during operation. The most typical applications for an AFD are control of fans, pumps, and compressors, which account for 75% of all drives running globally.
According to the Energy Information Association, 87 percent of US houses have air conditioning, with central units accounting for 75 percent. According to the most recent estimates (2020), the globe has an approximated 1.9 billion air conditioning systems. The majority of these are centered in the United States, China, Japan, and South Korea. This increases the need for adjustable frequency drives (AFDs) that are assisting in the temperature regulation of air-conditioning systems. As a result, the increasing use of air-conditioning systems propels market growth.
High usage of adjustable frequency drive AFDs can destroy electrical equipment. If a facility uses a lot of VFDs, vibrations in the electric lines may result in the destruction of delicate electronic gadgets and power factors. This hampers the adoption rate of the adjustable frequency drive AFD.
AFD is a critical component in any machine. It is a motor-powered regulator responsible for driving an electric motor by fluctuating the voltage and frequency. Thus, it is being widely used in irrigation pumping, crane & other hoists, paper and pulp machines, the wire and cable industry, the oil industry, textile machines, thermal power plants, submersible motors, and many others. These usages of AFD will boost the market growth.

The 2025 global trade landscape has been fundamentally reshaped by the introduction of sweeping "Liberation Day Tariffs" by the U.S. administration. Aimed at correcting trade imbalances and reducing foreign supply chain dependency, these measures have triggered unprecedented volatility, particularly within the global Electronics and Electrical industry. As geopolitical tensions escalate, particularly between the U.S. and China, businesses are facing a complex web of duties, restrictions, and rising operational costs.
The Tariff Landscape: Key Measures and Global Impact
The new tariff structure creates a multi-tiered system that has strained international trade relations. Key measures include:
Targeted Tariffs: Duties ranging from 10% on allied nations like Australia and the UK to 46% on Vietnamese goods and 34% on Chinese imports.
Universal Duties: A blanket 25% tariff on critical industrial inputs like steel, aluminum, and auto parts.
U.S.-China Trade War Escalation: Tariffs on Chinese goods have soared to as high as 145% in strategic sectors like semiconductors and consumer electronics.
Chinese Retaliation: China has responded with duties of up to 125% and, crucially, has placed restrictions on the export of critical minerals essential for electronics manufacturing.
In September 2019, Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. Has acquired UK-based variable frequency drive manufacturer Invertek Drives Ltd. Invertek is a market leader in the design, production, and distribution of variable frequency drives (VFDs), which are used to control motors in a broad range of industrial, commercial, and energy-saving applications, including conveyors, fans, pumps, and other industrial gear. SHI will be able to expand its product line in the motor control market due to Invertek's technology and manufacturing capabilities, which are becoming increasingly crucial as demand for IoT, automation, labor productivity, energy-saving technologies, and applications develops.
