Soft Magnetic Materials Market Analysis

The Soft Magnetic Material Market size is estimated at 10.68 Million tons in 2024, and is expected to reach 14.88 Million tons by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.87% during the forecast period (2024-2029).

  • The market was negatively impacted due to COVID-19. Owing to the pandemic scenario, several countries around the world went into lockdown to curb the spread of the virus. The shutdown of numerous companies and factories disrupted worldwide supply networks and harmed global production, delivery schedules, and product sales. Eventually, the market recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic and increased at a significant rate.
  • Over the medium term, the market has witnessed significant growth propelled by the increasing applications in electronics and the growing demand in the power generation industry.
  • However, the high cost of raw materials is likely to restrain the growth of the studied market. Nevertheless, the growth and expansion of the automotive industry are likely to create lucrative growth opportunities for the global market.
  • The Asia-Pacific region dominated the market globally, with the largest consumption coming from countries like China, India, and Japan.

Soft Magnetic Materials Industry Segmentation

A material that can be easily magnetized and demagnetized is called soft magnetic material. These materials have low coercivity and high permeability.

Soft Magnetic Material Market Size Summary

The soft magnetic materials market is poised for significant growth over the forecast period, driven by increasing applications in the electronics and power generation sectors. These materials are essential components in various devices such as AC and DC converters, electric motors, transformers, and computers. The market experienced a downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted global supply chains and production schedules. However, it has since rebounded, with the Asia-Pacific region leading in consumption, particularly in countries like China, India, and Japan. The region's dominance is attributed to its expansive power generation sector and ongoing investments in electronics and automotive industries. Despite challenges such as high raw material costs, the automotive industry's expansion presents lucrative opportunities for market growth.

The demand for soft magnetic materials is further bolstered by the rising need for electric motors, transformers, and actuators, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, where power plants are on the rise. The region's commitment to renewable energy and electric vehicle adoption, driven by government regulations and carbon neutrality goals, is expected to sustain this demand. Major players in the market, including Vacuumschmelze GmbH & Co. KG, Daido Steel Co., Ltd., and others, are actively innovating to meet these demands, as evidenced by recent product launches aimed at enhancing performance in communication, IoT devices, and electric automobiles. These developments, coupled with the growing electronics manufacturing sector in India and the increasing capacity for power generation in China, are likely to propel the market forward in the coming years.
