Global Soft Magnetic Materials Market Research Report: Information By Material Type (Soft Ferrite, Electrical Steel, Cobalt, Iron, Nickel, and Others), By Application (Motors, Transformers, Alternators, and Others), By End-Use Industry (Automotive, Electronics & Telecommunications, Electrical, Energy and Power, and Others) and Region — Forecast till 2030
The global Soft Magnetic Materials market size is projected to reach approximately $ 47.66 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 9.49% from 2022 to 2030. Soft magnetic materials are those materials that have a steep rising magnetization curve, minimal energy loss during each magnetization cycle, and a small and narrow hysteresis loop. Soft magnetic materials are become of significant use in multiple ends user industries such as automotive, electronics and telecommunications, electrical and energy and power as well as in different applications which include motors, transformers, and alternators. This is due to a decrease in eddy current loss which increases the efficiency of motors and the high permeability offered by soft magnetic materials. Soft magnetic material is widely used in motors since it enhances the field produced by motor winding.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the prices and supply of Soft Magnetic Materials. The pandemic also led to a greater need for medical equipment that uses motors, like ventilators. These are needed because they have high torque density and don’t create too much noise. Demand for ventilators is increasing quickly due to the increased number of coronavirus cases. This will increase demand for ventilator motors, which will eventually lead to market growth.
Market Dynamics
The factors driving the growth of the global Soft Magnetic Materials market include the rising demand for soft magnetic materials by the automotive end-user industry which are widely used in electric vehicles due to energy savings, low noise, and compact design. Furthermore, stepper motors, alternators, claw pole motors, brushed DC motors, and brushless DC motors also widely use soft magnetic materials which further drive the demand.
Drivers:
⮚     Increasing Demand from the Automotive Industry Players
The demand for electric vehicles is growing considerably due to which the demand for soft magnetic materials is rising considerably. Soft magnetic materials help to suppress noises at high-frequency ranges which are generated due to downsizing and space-saving designs in electric vehicles. In addition to this, soft magnetic materials are used in components such as alternators, induction coils, gearboxes, and antenna cores which are used in vehicles. Inductors occupy a large space in an automobile and are therefore being downsized which is enabled with the help of soft magnetic materials. Growing sales of hybrid automobiles which combine diesel and petrol engines with an electric motor is another significant factor affecting the demand for soft magnetic materials. In conclusion, all the aforementioned factors contribute to the growth of the global soft magnetic materials market.
Restraint:
Fluctuations in Raw Material Prices
The global soft magnetic materials market is expected to stall due to disruptions in the raw material supply chain that may be caused by sudden fluctuations in prices and difficulties with manufacturing. The price of iron ore fell sharply in August 2019 as more supply became available, along with the natural seasonal decline in demand. Since then, the price has fluctuated from USD 85 per MT to USD 96 per MT between August 2019 and January 2020 (prior to the Covid period). Iron ore prices have been volatile during the Covid period, but there has been no significant drop-off in price. Though it’s uncommon to see such a fluctuation in prices, other steel and mineral prices were also mostly up during the same time.
Opportunity:
⮚     Awareness about the Beneficial Properties of Soft Magnetic Materials
Soft magnetic materials are easy to magnetize and demagnetize due to which they are used to make temporary magnets. Since the domain wall movement is easy, they are easy to magnetize. Soft magnetic materials do not possess any void and have a homogenous structure hence the materials are not contaminated by impurities. Soft magnetic materials also possess high electrical resistivity due to which the eddy current loss is reduced drastically. Therefore, this factor contributes significantly to the growth of the global soft magnetic materials market.
Segment Overview
By Material Type
Based on the Material Type, the Soft Magnetic Materials market is segmented based on Soft Ferrite, Electrical Steel, Cobalt, Iron, Nickel, and Others. The Electric Steel Segment is anticipated to account for the large market share.

It also minimizes magnetic losses. Electric Steel materials are used in many different applications, such as electricity transformers, motors, and generators. They also have a large hysteresis area which lowers eddy current losses. This all boils down to the material’s higher efficiency for these applications
By Application
Based on Application, the global Soft Magnetic Materials market has been divided into Motors, Transformers, Alternators, and Others. The Motors segment is expected to hold the largest market share. Electric motors are used in a wide range of industries, including power transmission, consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and medical equipment. Medical equipment such as high-quality pumps, infusion pumps, hemodialysis machines, compressors, and respirators use small electric motors to function. They are also utilized in scanners and centrifuges.
By End-Use Industry
Based on End-Use Industry, the global Soft Magnetic Materials market has been divided into Automotive, Electronics & Telecommunications, Electrical, Energy and Power, and Others. The Automotive Industry segment is expected to hold the largest market share. Uses of Soft Magnetic Materials in the Automotive Industry include diesel engine induction coils and fuel injectors. The automotive industry has been at the forefront in utilizing soft magnetic materials in anti-lock brake systems, fuel injectors, and compressors. Because of this, they are projected to continue to lead the market during the forecast period.
