Bonded Magnet Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product (Ferrite, Rare Earth Magnets, Hybrid and Other Products), Process, Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bonded Magnet Market is accounted for $2.4 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $3.6 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period. A bonded magnet is a kind of magnet created by combining a polymer binder with magnetic granules, including neodymium or ferrite powders. After shaping or compressing this mixture into the required shape, it is heated to produce a solid, magnetic substance. Complex forms and sizes that would not be possible with conventional magnet production techniques are made possible by the binding agent, which aids in holding the magnetic particles together. These magnets are corrosion resistant, adaptable, and may be made to fit specific needs in the automotive, electronics, and healthcare sectors.

According to the Global Wind Energy Council, there is 743 GW of wind power capacity around the world, which is likely to result in the prevention of close to 1.1 Bn tons of CO2 emissions globally.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand in the automotive sector

Bonded magnets are widely used in the automobile industry for a variety of purposes, including motors, sensors, and actuators. Their versatility in electric vehicle (EV) motors and sensors provides increased efficiency, facilitating component rationalization and downsizing. Furthermore, their affordability and design flexibility provide manufacturers creative options that meet the changing demands of the automobile industry's electrification push. Thus, these aspects are driving the market's expansion.

Restraint:

Limited temperature stability

High temperatures can cause bonded magnets to lose their magnetic characteristics, hence they are not recommended for use in high-temperature situations. These magnets lose some of their magnetic characteristics at high temperatures, which might cause them to function worse and perhaps lose their magnetization permanently. These magnets' structural integrity may be compromised by degradation of the polymer or resin that binds them. These aspects are preventing the market from expanding.

Opportunity:

Environmental regulations

Increased environmental laws are driving more demand for bonded magnets. With their high magnetic qualities and reduced requirement for rare earth elements, these magnets provide a sustainable substitute. Because recyclable materials are used in their manufacture, the environmental effect is minimized. The usage of bonded magnets in different energy-saving applications is encouraged by rules supporting energy-efficient technology and an increased focus on environmental sustainability.

Threat:

Susceptibility to corrosion

Some bonded magnets are more prone to corrosion, especially in high-moisture or chemically exposed situations. Because they are composed of a polymer and magnetic granules, they are easily degraded and oxidized in humid or abrasive settings. Due to this weakness, they are less useful in environments where great endurance is required because of their reduced lifetime and magnetic performance. The market's expansion is being hampered by these issues.

COVID-19 Impact:

The pandemic disrupted global supply chains, affecting the availability of raw materials and components necessary for bonded magnet production. Restrictions on transportation and logistics created delays and shortages. Social distancing requirements and lockdown measures affected manufacturing facilities, leading to reduced production capacity or temporary closures. This disruption impacted the overall output of bonded magnets.

The injection molding segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The injection molding segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period. Bonded magnet injection molding offers precise shaping of complex geometries, allowing intricate designs and tight tolerances. It enables high-volume production, reducing manufacturing time and cost. The process facilitates consistent magnetic properties, enhancing performance reliability. Additionally, it permits the incorporation of various materials, leading to customized magnet properties for specific applications.

The sensors segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The sensors segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. They possess high magnetic strength and stability, enabling precise and reliable sensing capabilities. Their durability allows for extended use in harsh environments. Their adaptability to various shapes and sizes makes them versatile for different sensor applications. Overall, bonded magnet sensors provide robust performance, cost efficiency, and versatility in sensing technology.
