The demand from the automobile industry is notably driving the soft magnetic material market growth, although factors such as the high cost associated with the mining of rare-earth metals may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the soft magnetic material industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Soft Magnetic Material Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the soft magnetic material market is the demand from the automobile industry. A massive number of soft magnetic materials are required in modern-day cars, and many applications are expected to become regular features of cars in the future. Soft magnetic materials are essential and indispensable for electro-mechanical devices like motors for automobiles. Silicon-containing Fe-based soft magnetic alloy steels are widely used for such applications. This can be attributed to consumers demanding features like stability, performance, and other attributes of a vehicle. Magnetic materials are potentially used in the body and powertrain components in vehicles. There have been developments in magnetic materials, such as soft magnetic materials owing to the demand of the automotive industry and others. The growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has created opportunities for magnetic materials such as soft magnetic materials. The advances in magnetic materials coupled with the growth of hybrid vehicles and EVs will escalate the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Key Soft Magnetic Material Market Trend
The increased applicability in the computer application industry is a soft magnetic material market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. An increased emphasis on energy-efficient memory storage in the computer applications sector drives the use of magnetic materials, such as soft magnetic materials. Traditionally, semiconductors were used for short-term memory and processing, which consumed most of the energy. Therefore, scientists across various universities have been researching energy-efficient magnetic materials for data storage. For instance, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University is currently working on a project that focuses on finding ways to use topological protection to improve magnetic materials that are used for computer memory storage. Such innovations and technological breakthroughs have opened up a huge potential for computer technology applications, which is expected to increase the adoption of soft magnetic materials across the computer applications sector.
Key Soft Magnetic Material Market Challenge
The high cost associated with the mining of rare-earth metals will be a major challenge for the soft magnetic material market during the forecast period. Rare-earth materials play a crucial role in the development of soft magnetic materials and semi-hard magnetic materials. However, their production is limited to certain regions, while the demand is widely spread across the world. Currently, rare-earth oxides are mainly produced in countries such as the US and China. As vendors globally depend only on a few countries for their supply of raw materials, any production delays often lead to high price fluctuations, disrupting supply to them. In addition, long realization periods, coupled with uncertain investments, may negatively impact the growth of the market. Long-term investments are required to carry out mining activities and maintain production facilities for transportation, community housing, water, and energy sources. These factors collectively incur high costs and hinder the market growth.
