The Japan magnet market size reached USD 2.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.3 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% during 2025-2033. Ongoing technological innovation, the bolstering growth of the electronics and automotive industries, the growing demand for renewable energy solutions, and the increasing applications in the healthcare sector represent some of the key factors driving the market.
A magnet is a material or object that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials and attracts or repels other magnets. This remarkable property is known as magnetism, which manifests through an invisible magnetic field extending into the surrounding space. The most common type of magnet is the bar magnet, typically composed of iron or steel, featuring two distinct poles, a north pole and a south pole. Magnetism exerts a force on magnetic materials, causing them to align along the magnetic field lines when near a magnet. Opposite poles attract each other, while similar poles repel, resulting in a wide array of practical applications. Consequently, they are available in different shapes and sizes, depending on the usage, such as refrigerator, electric motors, generators, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines utilized in medical diagnostics. Magnets can be naturally found on the Earth or created artificially, and their properties stem from the motion of electric charges within the material.
The market is primarily driven by the country's strong focus on technological advancements and innovation. Japan has established itself as one of the global leaders in manufacturing and engineering, consistently pushing the boundaries of research and development. This drive for innovation has led to the increasing demand for magnets in diverse applications, including electronics, automotive, renewable energy, and healthcare. Moreover, the rising utilization of permanent magnets, such as neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, in smartphones, laptops, hard disk drives, and various consumer electronics is contributing to the market's growth. Besides this, with continuous miniaturization and enhancement of electronic gadgets, there is a surging demand for smaller yet more powerful magnets, which, in turn, is creating a favorable outlook for market expansion. In addition to this, the bolstering growth of the automotive industry is strengthening the market growth as modern automobiles rely heavily on electric motors and various sensors equipped with magnets. Concurrently, the increasing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles (E/HVs) has further enhanced the demand for magnets, particularly rare-earth magnets such as neodymium magnets and samarium-cobalt magnets, due to their high magnetic strength and efficiency, which is aiding in market expansion. Furthermore, the expanding renewable energy infrastructure of the country and the push towards sustainable energy sources, increasing the deployment of wind turbines and solar power systems that require magnets, are influencing the market growth. Besides this, the growing product utilization in the healthcare sector, particularly in medical diagnostics technologies, is acting as another significant growth inducing factor.
