Servo Drive Demand Booms: Making the case for a Drive on the Shelf

Steady Market Value Growth

Back in 2017, Industrial Control Solutions posted a blog article about the growth in servo drive demand. In 2025, that growth shows no signs of slowing down. Globe News Wire projects that by 2032, the market value increase to $29.22 Billion, up from the $15 million value when we posted our original article. Innovations in automation technology is a significant driving force for servo drive demand. The Chips Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act have all propelled industrial growth, further fueling the demand. As a result, ICS has seen a marked increase in servo drive repair jobs.

The Shelf: A Maintenance Manager’s Best Friend

When a critical piece of machinery goes down, every second counts. The last thing any maintenance manager wants is a prolonged downtime while waiting for replacement parts or new components, or even a new drive. That’s why having backup drives at the ready is a vital element of maintaining smooth operations. A reliable servo drive repair service is key to make this happen.

Instead of discarding old or broken servo drives, consider repairing them and keeping them on hand as spares. Servo drive repairs are a cost effective alternative to purchasing a replacement. Industrial Control Solutions can restore these drives to like-new condition. Having a stock of refurbished drives on your shelf ensures that you can swap out a faulty unit on the spot, reducing costly downtime and keeping production on schedule. This creates significant amount of buffer time, allowing you to repair the broken drive rather than rushing to buy new.

Additionally, as supply chain disruptions and lead times for new components become increasing unpredictable, having a ready-to-go backup drive could mean the difference between hours or days of halted production. Investing in servo drive repair services ensures that your facility is prepared for unexpected failures, maximizing efficiency and profitability.

The demand for automation and industrial electronics continues to rise, and so does the need for smart maintenance strategies. By repairing and stocking spare drives, companies can stay ahead of potential breakdowns and keep operations moving without interruption. Don’t wait for failure—prepare for it.
