Have induction motors reached the end of their efficiency improvement road?

We have a mixed customer base with regard to preferences for permanent magnet motors or standard induction motors. Have induction motors reached the end of their efficiency improvement road? But we still periodically hear about the potential for magnet material shortages. We'd like to standardize where we can. Anyone else having thoughts about the direction to take?
