The global permanent
magnet market size is expected to reach $34.70 billion by 2026 owing to the rising need for energy and the use of
strong magnets for power generation. A permanent magnet is a device that can
retain its magnetic properties despite being in an atmosphere with no magnetic
field. A permanent magnet can also be called a hard magnet due to properties
such as large magnetic moment, and low permeability. Permanent magnets are used
in various kinds of loudspeakers, and other home appliances, and are available
in variety such as ferrite magnets, alloy magnets, bonded magnets, and others.
According to a recently published report by Fortune Business Insights titled, “Permanent Magnet Market Size, Share &
Industry Analysis, By Type (Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB), Ferrite, Samarium
Cobalt (SmCo), Aluminum Nickel Cobalt (Alnico), and Others), By Application (Consumer
Electronics, Automotive, General Industrial, Medical Devices, Energy, and
Others), and Regional Forecast, 2019-2026,” the market value stood at $17.85
billion in 2018 and will exhibit a CAGR of 8.7% in the forecast duration set
between 2019 to 2026.

SMMV Manufacturing Plant in Vietnam to Strengthen Portfolio by
Increasing Production Capacity

Shin-Etsu Magnetic
Materials Vietnam Co., Ltd. (SMMV) completed constructing a manufacturing plant
for rare earth magnet in Hai Phong Province of Vietnam in the year 2016 and started
operating from June 2017. Rare earth magnets are used for a variety of
applications such as electric and hybrid automobiles, hard disk drives, and
energy-saving air conditioners. The SMMV aims at multiplying the production
capacity by two times up to 2,200 tons of earth magnet on an annual basis. The
magnets produced in this plant will be shipped t0o end-users after processing
them in other plants located in different nations across Southeast Asia. Such
initiatives taken by market vendors are likely to aid in the expansion of the
market in the future years.

Increasing Use of Neodymium Iron Boron Will Add Impetus to Market

The increasing
demand for consumer electronics is a major permanent magnet market growth. This
includes gadgets such as Music systems, computers, laptops, mobile phones, and
others. In addition to this, the increasing use of neodymium iron boron (NdFeB)
with its beneficial properties such as repulsion, attraction, and energy
conversion will also aid in the expansion of the market in the coming years.

On the negative
side, the fluctuating prices of raw materials such as alloys, and increasing
prices of energy may cause major hindrance to the overall market in the coming
years.
