Business environment

  • The global AC drive market picked up considerably in 2010 from its state in 2009. According to business research firm Frost & Sullivan, the AC drive market grew about 8 % in 2010. The AC drive market had a value of USD 9 billion in 2010.
  • The construction industry, renewable energy production and machine building were the industrial sectors that picked up most strongly. Sectors that normally require major investment, such as ship building, were still growing slowly.
  • During 2010 Vacon strengthened its global position and Vacon's market share is estimated at some 5 % and the company is one of the seven largest AC drive suppliers in the world.
