(OP)
What industry today is using the most electric motors?
One could answer, "society", in a way.
For everyone has a blower motor on their furnace/air conditioning unit and so on.
From an Industry Perspective... where are all the "dollars" hovering?
What industry in 2011 is using the most Electric Motors?

Automotive must account for a large number of motors, numerically at least.

Clocks? They have (had?) little synchronous motors in them for a lot of years.

Looking at the question from the viewpoint of the greatest number of dedicated motors per person, I would have to suggest that the modern automobile is certainly a candidate.
Taking a mental inventory of a generic high-end car:
1 trunk latch motor
1 antenna retractrion motor
1 electric fuel pump
1 load leveling compressor
4 CD changer motors
4 window motors
4 door lock motors
4 outside mirror adjustors
6 seat adjustment motors
3 dash CD player motors
1 sunroof motor
2 lumbar support inflators
4 HVAC and defroster mix servomotors
1 electric windshield wiper motor
1 HVAC main blower motor
1 windshield washer pump
2 headlight wiper motors
1 headlight washer pump
1 antilock brake oscillator motor
2 electric engine cooling fans
1 engine starter motor
1 idle air control motor
1 electric power steering motor
Or, an estimated 49 motors in this one application. By similarly examining other environments, one easily becomes astounded by the nubmers of motors that surround us. I estmate that my refrigerator has 7 - 8 motors. I estimate 19 in the living room.
I have used this exercise in the past to help people understand the complete saturation and ubiquity of electrically operated equipment in their lives.
