The US variable frequency drive market is expected to be valued at USD 4.08 billion in 2025 and USD 4.92 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period.
The US government’s implementation of eco regulations to mitigate carbon emissions is compelling industries to adopt energy-saving technologies. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) are valuable in achieving the emission-reduction target, as they enable precise control of motor speed, significantly aiding in lowering energy use. Along with the push for industrial automation within energy-heavy fields, such as power production, oil & gas chemicals, and extensive infrastructure projects, the use of VFDs is increasing. These drives provide motor control, improve process consistency, and increase operational adaptability. These elements have contributed to the expansion of the market in the US, further driven by ongoing industrialization and persistent infrastructure upgrades.

As industries, municipalities, and utilities are transitioning toward digitally enabled and resilient operations, the demand for VFD-driven motor control rises across data centers, smart factories, water and wastewater facilities, commercial buildings, and grid modernization projects. Modern infrastructure is increasingly dependent on IoT-integrated, remotely monitored VFDs that enhance automation, minimize energy losses, reduce operating costs, and ensure higher system reliability and uptime, reinforcing the US variable frequency drive market.
By end user, the power sector is likely to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period due to the heightened emphasis on energy efficiency and grid upgrades in traditional and renewable power facilities. Utilities and independent power producers are also implementing VFDs in pumps, fans, compressors, and other balance-of-plant motors to reduce electricity usage, decrease expenses, and meet rigorous energy-efficiency and carbon-reduction standards. Rising integration of wind, solar, and smart grid technologies further boosts the demand for advanced VFDs to optimize load management, enhance reliability, and support flexible, low-carbon power systems.
The AC drives segment is poised to be the fastest-growing type in the US variable frequency drive market during the forecast period. This is due to its wide applications across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure settings. The surging demand for energy-efficient motor drives, especially in HVAC systems, pumps, compressors, and material-handling equipment, accelerates the usage of AC drives across the country. Oil & gas, water and wastewater, chemicals, and food processing are some industries showing a preference for AC drives owing to advantages such as less maintenance, high reliability, and compatibility with new and retrofit installations.

Opportunities in the US variable frequency drive market include the increasing levels of innovation and advancements in technology. In addition, there has been a rising need for high-horsepower VFDs. This factor further creates an opportunity for players to develop efficient motor control and drive technology. In September 2024, Rockwell Automation launched the PowerFlex 755TS frame 7A drives with Total FORCE technology. This further extends the power range up to 355 kW and also comes with a panel mount option for the VFD to cater to the growing need for the drive technology.
