A report by market intelligence firm Research and Markets forecasts the global market for energy-efficient devices to reach $908.4 billion by 2022. In addition, an increase in drafting and implementation of regulation to reduce carbon emissions by improving energy efficiency to avoid the burning of fossil fuels to meet energy demands is expected to drive the global energy-efficient devices market,
Research and Markets also predicts an increase in purchases of smart meter, HVAC and lighting systems through to 2022 and that the residential sector is expected to dominate the market between 2016 and 2022. The Asia-Pacific region is expected to record the highest growth rate as a result of an increase in deployment of smart cities and smart energy programmes. All of this augur a robust market for the systems for energy-efficient motors that Virtual Forest will design based on Infineon technology platforms.
