Linear Vibration Motor Market - Industry Dynamics, Market Size, And Opportunity Forecast To 2027

The global Linear Vibration Motor Market is estimated to witness a rise in revenue from US$ 1,469.7 Mn in 2021 to US$ 2,498.0 Mn by 2027. The market is registering growth at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period 2022-2027. In terms of volume, the is registering a CAGR of 8.0% during the forecast period. Linear vibration motors are becoming more popular for haptic applications. They are an alternative to eccentric rotating mass vibration motors and have several distinct advantages. They are used in many handheld and touchscreen devices, amongst other applications as they have better haptic performance characteristics and are more efficient. 

A linear resonant actuator (LRA) is a vibration motor that produces an oscillating force across a single axis. These actuators consist of a magnetic coil that pushes a mass up and down to create vibrations, enhanced by a spring. In a moving coil design, the coil moves and the magnet is fixed, such as an audio speaker. In a moving magnet design, the magnet moves, and the coil is fixed. These linear vibration motors are supplied with an internal shaft supported by magnets. In iron-core linear vibration motors, the core of the coil unit consists of iron. The iron maximizes the magnetic forces and contributes to a high force density and high thermal stability. 

The increasing adoption of smart wearables is expected to boost market growth. Advancements in research are driving the demand for the wearable market and led to new product categories like smart fabrics and wearables, among others which incorporate high-end technology and design in daily living. Owing to the boom in the fitness trend across consumers, wearables have gained significant traction. The smart wearables include a linear vibration motor as a key component ranging from a smartwatch, smart band, and VR headsets. Moreover, the rising health concern and integration of smartphone features in smart wearables is further escalating the adoption rate of smart wearables across the globe. Moreover, linear vibration motors can be used in central control devices and they can be used as a safety measure in steering wheels also. 

However, the low cost of alternative eccentric rotating mass (ERM) vibration motor is anticipated to hinder the market growth. Eccentric Rotating Mass (ERM) Vibration Motor is one of the major substitutes of linear vibration motor in the consumer electronics industry due to its low cost and is often praised by the consumer electronics manufacturers. Moreover, the lack of awareness regarding the advantageous characteristics of linear vibration motors in underdeveloped and emerging economies is further leading to declining in the sales of linear vibration motors across the globe.
