Industry Overview

Magnet wire market was valued at $36.4 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $60.2 billion in 2035, growing at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2025-2035). Magnet wire is a thin, specialized electrical conductor coated in insulation to allow compact, efficient winding that powers various appliances, from small motors in smartphones to industrial generators. The magnet wires provide the required electromagnetic energy conversions that allow modern technologies to work.

The magnet wire market is experiencing substantial growth as increased electrification is going on in the industrial, automotive, and energy sectors. Demand for electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy (specifically wind turbines and solar inverters), and modernized industrial systems is driving the demand and is leading to a greater need for high-performance copper and aluminum enameled wires. According to UNIDO, globally, industry represented 21.4% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022. Within the industry, manufacturing accounted for 78.5%.

Market Dynamics

The Growing EV Market is Fueling the Magnet Wire Market

The rise of electric vehicles is driving the demand for magnet wire, a critical component in electric motors. According to the IEA, global electric car sales exceeded 17 million in 2024, which directly affects the magnet wire market. EV makers around the world are looking at possible design enhancements to improve the consumer experience. The performance of the motor is one of the criteria that consumers are looking for. The major component of the traction motor design that influences these factors directly is the winding wire or magnet wire. Enamelled Round Copper wires and Enamelled Rectangular Copper wires are used in EV motors.

As governments worldwide accelerate mandates, subsidies, and carbon targets, automakers are increasingly seeking wires with better insulation and compact form factors, propelling the development of flat-wire technologies optimized for modern EV traction motors.

Rising Industrialization is Growing the Market

Industrialization around the world is driving demand for magnet wire, as increasingly electrified machinery and equipment require high-performance winding conductors. Economic growth and development are positively correlated with industrialization.

As nations continue to expand manufacturing, especially in heavy industries, industrial automation, and consumer electronics, the requirement for electrical components such as magnet wire continues to climb, reinforcing its strategic position in the evolving electrified industrial landscape.

Copper Magnet Wire Leads the Market with the Largest Share

Copper magnet wire is the most widely used type of magnet wire, holding the dominant share due to its superior electrical conductivity, thermal resistance, and mechanical strength. It is primarily used in motors, transformers, generators, inductors, and other electrical devices that rely on efficient electromagnetic induction. In electric vehicles (EVs), copper magnet wire is widely utilized in constructing high-efficiency traction motors; each EV contains much more copper than a traditional vehicle and leading to a significant increase in demand. In the same way, motors and transformers, important components in renewable energy systems and upgrading electrical grids, require copper to provide better conductivity and thermal performance.

There are several types of copper magnet (winding) wire used in different appliances, including self-bonding copper winding wires, poly-vinyl-based copper winding wires, and self-solderable or polyurethane-based copper winding wires.

Rising Electric Motors applications Driving Magnet Wire Demand

Electric motors are everlasting in the modern world, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. Electric motors use magnetic wire as a key component of the stator and rotor winding. The wire's ability to carry electrical current with minimal loss and its excellent insulation properties make it ideal for this application. Electric motors represent over 80% of electricity use at a refinery or onshore oil and gas production facility. Of the motors used, the largest percentage is for driving pumps. The remainder is for compressors, fans, and some other smaller applications.

The efficiency and performance of electric motors depend heavily on the quality of the magnet wire used. High-quality magnet wire ensures low energy loss, durability, and the ability to operate at high temperatures, which is crucial for motors used in demanding environments.

Regional Outlook

The global magnet wire market is segmented by geography into North America (U.S. and Canada), Europe (Germany, U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, Australia & New Zealand, ASEAN countries, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), and the Rest of the World (Latin America and the Middle East & Africa).

The Asia-Pacific Region Holds the Largest Market Share

Asia-Pacific has emerged as the largest magnet wire market, driven by rapid industrialization, rising electric vehicle adoption, and robust growth in the electronics and electrical sectors, particularly in countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea. China, as a center of EV production and consumer electronics, is the main contributor to this, backed by government initiatives and an advanced industrial manufacturing capacity. For instance, in 2024, China reached 12.4 million electric cars, and it remains the world's electric car manufacturing hub, accounting for more than 70% of global production in 2024.

The region's expanding automotive industry, along with the increasing renewable energy projects such as wind and solar, further drives the demand for motors, transformers, and generators - key applications of magnet wire. The region also represents some of the best growth opportunities, given the vast consumer market, heavy investments in energy transition, and leading automotive electrification in the region.

North America Region Shows Steady Growth

North America is a large market for magnet wire, primarily due to its well-established automotive, aerospace, and power industries. The US remains an important demand driver as electric vehicle consumption increases, renewable energy systems, and growth in grid facilities. Innovations in material science, leading to higher temperature resistance, improved dielectric strength, and enhanced thermal conductivity, are crucial in meeting these evolving requirements. Additionally, supportive government policies and environmental regulations are pushing energy efficiency and electrification in the region.

Market Players Outlook

The leading players in the global magnet wire market include Elektrisola Group, Furukawa Magnet Wire Co., Ltd., MWS Wire Industries, Inc., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., and Superior Essex Inc., among others. These companies are focusing on partnerships, collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, along with innovative product development, to expand their business footprint and strengthen their market position.

Recent Developments

In December 2024, the European Investment Bank (EIB) announced a €20 million ($20.7 million) venture debt loan for Tau Group, an Italian technology startup to electrify transport solutions. The EIB's investment aims to enable Tau Group to increase its production capacity for high-performance magnet wire for use in vehicles and machine parts that also contribute to the energy transition.
In May 2024, Superior Essex acquired Essex Furukawa Magnet Wire from Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. This includes the magnet wire facilities in Japan and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur) that were contributed by Furukawa Electric in October 2020.
In May 2023, Solvay launched KetaSpire KT-857, a new polyetheretherketone (PEEK) extrusion compound designed especially for copper magnet wire insulation in electric motors. The development of the custom-engineered insulation material was driven by the move of OEMs towards higher-density batteries and electric powertrains operating at 800V or above to address the range anxiety of consumers.
In March 2023, Elektrisola acquired Rea's North American magnet wire assets, including its five manufacturing plants in Indiana, Connecticut, Virginia, and Mexico, and its leased corporate offices in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
