According to MIR Industrial data, China's stepper motor market is projected to exceed 3.2 billion yuan by 2025, with industrial stepper systems reaching approximately 2 billion yuan, marking a 5% year-on-year growth. The gradual implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan is expected to create new demand in the stepper market due to increased manufacturing investment and equipment upgrades.
Five-phase stepper motors, known for their precision and stability, have historically been dominated by Japanese brands like Oriental Motor. Their PK/PKP series covers various specifications, particularly excelling in high-precision applications. In contrast, domestic products have primarily focused on larger specifications, with the 20mm size still lacking widespread supply.
Ruit Technology, established in 2015, is making strides in the domestic five-phase stepper market, planning to launch a 20mm model in 2026. Their comprehensive product line now includes 20mm, 28mm, 42mm, and 60mm motors. As demand from sectors like semiconductor and optical communication grows, Ruit's products are increasingly being adopted by manufacturers transitioning from traditional Japanese solutions to domestic alternatives.
