Market Dynamics
Rising Electrification in Automotive
The automotive industry is a key user of advanced magnetic materials, particularly for the construction of electric and hybrid vehicles. Permanent magnets comprised of materials such as neodymium-iron-boron are critical components in electric motors, contributing to the growing need for advanced magnetic materials as the automotive industry transitions to electrification to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency.
According to the China Passenger Car Association, the country delivered 5.67 million EVs and plug-ins in 2022, nearly doubling its sales in 2021. Anticipating a drop in the nation's need for lubricant additives, the market is positioned to maintain current sales levels. In India, the emphasis is turning to EVs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The government has set aside 30% of the new vehicles in India will be electric in 2023.
Growing Demand from Energy & Power
Advanced magnetic materials are widely used in the power generation industry. The materials are utilized in motors for power generation and electricity transmission. Magnetic materials are used in a variety of applications, including motors, generators, transformers and actuators.
Electric machines are built of hard magnetic materials and have one basic function: to provide magnetic flux. In accordance to the Energy and Resource Institute, globally power generation capacity will reach 29,165 tetra watt-hours in 2022, representing a 2.26% increase over the 28,520 tetra watt-hours generated in 2021. Thus, increased energy generation capacity is expected to fuel the market for advanced magnetic materials.
High Costs and Limited Availability of Rare Materials
The manufacture of advanced magnetic materials frequently entails complex manufacturing procedures that necessitate specialized equipment and expertise. It results in high manufacturing costs, limiting the use of certain materials, particularly in price-sensitive industries. Patents, license agreements and trade policies all increase prices and impede the transfer of technology and materials between countries, reducing market competitiveness and innovation.
Many advanced magnetic materials, like neodymium-iron-boron magnets, are based on rare earth elements such as neodymium and dysprosium. Limited availability and unequal geographic distribution of certain elements can cause supply constraints and price volatility, affecting the stability and cost-effectiveness of advanced magnetic materials.
Segment Analysis
The global advanced magnetic materials market is segmented based on type, end-user and region.
Rising Investments in Automotive Sector Drives the Segment Growth
Automotive is expected to be the dominant segment with over 30% of the market during the forecast period 2024-2031. Investments in this industry are projected to drive up demand for improved magnetic materials in the future years. For example, in March 2022, Suzuki Motor, a Japanese corporation, announced a US$ 1.3 billion investment in an India plant that will manufacture electric vehicles and batteries.
The materials lead to increased energy efficiency and light weighing initiatives in automobile components, which attracts investment. The rising emphasis on vehicle safety and connection drives demand for advanced driver assistance systems, which use magnetic materials for sensors and actuators. Stringent regulatory regulations for emissions and fuel economy encourage automobile makers to implement new technologies, driving revenue growth in the industry.
Geographical Penetration
Rising Energy Projects in Asia-Pacific
Asia-Pacific is expected to be the dominant region in the global advanced magnetic materials market covering over 30% of the market.
