Market Dynamics
Introduction
Permanent magnets are those magnets that are commonly used. They are known as permanent magnets because they do not lose their magnetic property once they are magnetized.
?The global permanent magnet market will likely witness significant changes in the coming years. New sources of supply are scheduled to be developed across the globe. China, which is the major producer of permanent magnets worldwide, is witnessing consolidation by state-owned enterprises. China owns the largest reserves of permanent magnets worldwide and is a low-cost producer of permanent magnets. China will continue to remain the largest producer during the forecast period.
Market Drivers
The market is driven by a host of factors, some of which are noted below:
- Increasing automotive production and increasing use of permanent magnets in consumer electronics, such as HDD, CD, and DVD applications, are the key drivers.
- Growing inclination towards renewable energy (wind turbines and solar photovoltaic) and increasing production of electric & hybrid vehicles.
- Permanent magnets are being used more frequently in medical imaging systems that are rapidly being used for diagnostic purposes.
How is the demand for consumer electronics growing, making it one of the major growth drivers?
The demand for permanent magnets will rise as consumer electronics demand increases. These magnets' advantageous properties include attraction, repulsion, and energy conversion, increasing the usage of permanent magnets in a variety of consumer gadgets, including laptops, televisions, music systems, computers, and smartphones. Consumer electronics are in high demand due to changing customer preferences and technological improvements, which fuel the market's expansion throughout the forecast period.

By Material Type
The ferrite material segment held more than 80% of the market share in 2022. Ferrite magnet is a low magnetic energy product and suitable for low-temperature applications. It alone accounted for more than 70% of the global permanent magnet market (on a volume basis) serving most of the major applications, such as stators in wind energy, and engine and battery components in the automotive industry. It has a lower price than other magnet types (Alnico, NdFeB, and SmCo).
They are driven mainly by consumer electronics, standard automotive applications, and electric and hybrid vehicles. NdFeB is preferred in the engine components, battery components, moving car parts, HDD of consumer electronics, and other integral systems. China and Japan together produce more than 95% of the global NdFeB supply.
By End-Use Industry Type
Consumer electronics held more than 25% of the market share in 2022. The primary driver is the growing usage of permanent magnets in consumer electronics, particularly in HDD, CD, and DVD applications.
The automotive industry is expected to remain the largest consumer of permanent magnets during the forecast period. It accounted for more than 50% of the global permanent magnet market in 2022. Permanent magnets are used in engine components, battery components, moving car parts, and other integral systems. The energy segment is expected to witness the fastest growth in the next five years driven by the global demand for renewable energy. All the major countries have set renewable energy targets and are continuously pushing harder to meet the targets.
Regional Insights
Asia Pacific held more than 75% of the market share in 2022. It is also expected to remain the largest market for permanent magnets during the forecast period. China is the leading producer as well as consumer of permanent magnets worldwide.
