Magnetic Materials Market Size To Reach $48.17 Billion By 2030

Magnetic Materials Market Growth & Trends

The global magnetic materials market size is expected to reach USD 48.17 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2025 to 2030. The rising investments in magnet-producing facilities are anticipated to augment the demand for the product during the forecast period.

The companies in the market are exploring the possibilities to expand their production capacities in end-use segments. For instance, in June 2021, Jintian Copper announced its plans to build facilities for the production of rare-earth magnets i.e., permanent magnets. The company is likely to target downstream mid to high-end products and improve the core competitiveness of the company.

Energy is anticipated to remain the fastest-growing application segment in Europe during the forecast period. Highly legislated climate targets require a rapid increase in renewable energy by 2030. The region adopted the European climate law in 2021 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from end-use industries. This is projected to fuel the demand for magnets in renewable energy applications such as turbines.

In the electronics industry, magnetic materials are used computer cables, mobile phones, hard disk drives, printer machine rollers, fax stepper motors, voice coil motors, microphones, loudspeakers, earbuds, watches, and air conditioning compressors among others. Growth in the aforementioned products is thus likely to provide a boost to the growth of the magnetic materials industry.

Electric motors are the critical components used in industrial drives, household appliances, and transportation applications. Electricity consumption in these motors is very high and a slight improvement in energy efficiency assists in huge energy savings and thus reduction of carbon dioxide at the global level. Both soft and permanent magnets can be used in electric motors owing to their lightweight and small size with no compromise on the required torque and energy needed for transportation and actuation applications.

Transformers are the key products; wherein soft magnetic materials find applications in cores. Growth & investments in transformer manufacturing are projected to remain a crucial factor in the demand for soft magnetic materials. For instance, in May 2022, Hitachi Energy announced an investment of USD 10 million transformer production facility in Missouri, the U.S. With this investment, the company plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities and improve production capacity.
