The global permanent magnet market size was valued at $17.85 billion in 2018 and is projected to grow $34.70 billion in 2026, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% during the 2019-2026 forecast period.


A permanent magnet is a thing that stays magnetic even when there's no magnetizing force, like a magnetic field or electric current. The material's structure inside the magnet creates the magnetic field. These magnets, also called hard magnets, have low permeability, strong magnetic power, and stay steady when exposed to other magnetic fields.


These magnets can turn electrical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. This helps control electrons and uses the repulsion between magnets. There are different types of these magnets, including alloy magnets, ferrite magnets, and bonded magnets. They're used in various things like motors, speakers, appliances, and HVAC systems.

Rising Use of Permanent Magnets for Hybrid Electric Vehicles in Automotive Industry


The increasing demand for magnets in hybrid electric vehicles will boost market growth. Hybrid electric vehicles contain both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor, which further requires about 2kg to 3kg of rare earth magnets. In addition to this, it is also used in several components such as door locks, windscreen wipers, speakers, and electric window regulators. Hence, the gradually increasing demand for hybrid electric vehicles will fuel the automotive industry, thereby promoting the hard magnet market growth.


PERMANENT MAGNET MARKET GROWTH FACTORS


Rising Demand for Consumer Electronics Considered Key Growth Driver


The rising demand for consumer electronics will increase the demand for permanent magnets. The beneficial properties of these magnets such as attraction, repulsion, and energy conversion will help augment its demand in various consumer electronics such as laptops, televisions, music systems, computers, and smart phones. The rising consumer preferences and advancements in technology have fueled the demand for consumer electronics, which will create lucrative growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.


Rising Use of Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) in Various Applications will Augment Market Growth


Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnets are susceptible to oxidation and exhibit high magnetic stability, field strength, and low curie temperature. NdFeB magnets also provide the highest theoretical maximum energy than other hard magnets. These benefits increase its use in several applications such as automotive parts, wind turbines, actuators, speakers, electronics equipment, and domestic appliances. Hence, the growth of these applications will lead to a rise in demand for NdFeB magnets, thereby aiding to market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Fluctuation in Prices of Raw Material May Hamper Growth


The rising energy costs and fluctuations in the availability of raw materials such as alloys of rare-earth elements create variations in the quality of magnets and their prices. This disrupts the supply chains and makes it challenging for manufacturers to deliver quality products at lower prices. These factors are anticipated to cause hindrance to the growth of the market in the coming years.


PERMANENT MAGNET MARKET SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS


By Type Analysis


Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) segment leads the Permanent Magnet Market


Based on type, the market is classified into neodymium iron boron (NdFeB), ferrite, samarium cobalt (SmCo), aluminum nickel cobalt (Alnico), and others. The NdFeB segment accounted for the highest revenue share. The growth of this segment is attributed to its high performances, small size, and low-cost features. These magnets are mainly utilized in electric motors and power tools. Furthermore, lack of efficient substitutes for NdFeB magnets, coupled with initiatives taken by several governments to encourage the use of green technologies is anticipated to add impetus to the market.


The ferrite magnets provide high-temperature operations, resistance to demagnetization, and are cost-effective. These properties increase its use in automotive components such as door closing, fuel pump, engine starter, windshield wipers, and antenna lift, thereby anticipating a notable growth in the forecast period.
