Nidec, a global titan in electric motors
Posted: Wed Jul 09, 2025 8:23 am
Nidec is undergoing a profound strategic metamorphosis, aiming to transition from a leading motor manufacturer to a diversified industrial technology behemoth, drawing parallels with the broad capabilities of Bosch. This ambitious endeavor is encapsulated in Nidec's "Vision 2025" and a long-term goal of 10 trillion yen in consolidated sales by FY2030, a significant portion of which is targeted through expansion into new, high-growth domains.
A primary driver of this shift is Nidec's aggressive penetration into the electric vehicle (EV) market, particularly with its "E-Axle" integrated traction motor systems. Nidec explicitly aims to capture a dominant 40-45% global market share for E-Axles by 2030, reflecting Bosch's deep entanglement in the automotive sector's electrification.
Beyond mobility, Nidec is significantly bolstering its presence in sustainable infrastructure and energy solutions, including wind power generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Recent acquisitions, such telemarketing data as the Chinese scroll compressor manufacturer Xecom Energy (now Nidec Scroll Technology), expand its reach into air conditioning and heat pump markets, further diversifying its portfolio. Nidec is also investing heavily in industrial automation, robotics, and commercial equipment, leveraging its motor expertise to provide comprehensive system solutions for smart factories and various industries.
This strategic diversification, driven by both organic growth and a proactive M&A strategy, positions Nidec to become a multifaceted engineering and technology company, providing integrated solutions across various sectors and emulating Bosch's global industrial footprint.
