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.

In 2025, global trade has entered a period of renewed volatility as the U.S., under President Donald Trump, introduced sweeping tariffs known as the Liberation Day Tariffs. Aimed at addressing trade imbalances and foreign supply chain dominance, the tariffs range from 10% on allies like Australia and the UK to 46% on Vietnamese goods and 34% on Chinese imports. A 25% universal tariff on steel, aluminum, and auto parts has further strained global trade ties. The electronics sector is among the hardest hit, particularly due to the escalating U.S.China trade war. Tariffs on Chinese goods now reach up to 145% in sectors like semiconductors and consumer electronics, while China has retaliated with up to 125% duties and restrictions on critical mineral exports. This has disrupted just-in-time supply chains and increased component costs.
Specific tariffs include 25% on semiconductors, 20% on lithium-ion batteries, and 10–15% on consumer electronics like laptops and tablets, leading to higher retail prices and reduced consumer demand. Sub-sectors such as home automation, computer hardware, communication electronics, medical devices, and industrial electronics are all under pressure due to rising input costs and supply chain delays. Companies are revisiting suppliers, shifting sourcing to countries like India, Mexico, and Vietnam, and redesigning products to avoid high-tariff components.
China remains a key player, contributing USD 119 billion in electronics exports to the U.S. in 2023. Even components routed through countries like Malaysia and Vietnam often rely on Chinese subparts, making the ripple effect of tariffs widespread. U.S. electronics firms operating on thin margins are seeing input costs rise 18–25%, with contract manufacturers in alternative regions facing capacity constraints.
Market research is now critical. It helps companies identify new suppliers, analyze cost trends, optimize product design, forecast demand shifts, and track regulatory changes. Tools like supplier mapping, BOM optimization, and scenario planning support strategic responses to ongoing disruptions. Leading firms like Apple and Dell are expanding production outside China, while others invest in digital supply chain tools and redesign products for cost resilience. In this evolving trade environment, firms that leverage research-driven strategies are better positioned to adapt and thrive.
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.
