According to a Future Market Insights (FMI) report, the global soft magnetic composite market value is forecast to increase from USD 44,459.0 Million in 2023 to USD 108,392.0 Million by 2033. Over the assessment period, global demand for soft magnetic composites is predicted to surge at a CAGR of 9.3%.

The electrical steel segment is expected to dominate the soft magnetic composite industry through 2033. It will likely hold a volume share of 63.9% in 2023. On the other hand, the iron powder segment is poised to exhibit a higher CAGR of 9.8% through 2033.

The worldwide market for soft magnetic composites is set to witness a robust growth trajectory during the assessment period. This is due to factors like:

  • Rising demand for soft magnetic composites from automotive, electronic, construction, and energy industries
  • Growing popularity of electric vehicles
  • Expansion of the renewable energy sector
  • Escalating miniaturization trend in electronic devices
  • High adoption of industrial automation

Soft magnetic composites are widely used in electromagnetic devices like transformers, electric motors, generators, and inductors. This is due to their excellent properties and advantages, such as lightweight, high magnetic permeability, good machinability, and low eddy current losses.

Soft magnetic composites (SMCs) have become ideal components in power electronic and electrical distribution systems. Growing demand for electromagnetic devices from diverse industries is projected to boost the growth of the soft magnetic composite market.

In electrical and electronic industries, soft magnetic composites are considered to be essential in multiple electrical devices. The growing demand for high-quality electrical components to achieve optimum solutions influences the consumption of SMCs.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles is acting as a catalyst, triggering sales of soft magnetic composites. This is because these composites find application in electric motors and power electronics.

Electric vehicles are the most eco-friendly since they do not emit harmful emissions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), between 2014 and 2015, around a 70% increase in the registration of electric vehicles was recorded, with over 550,000 vehicles being sold globally.

Soft magnetic materials play an important role in the manufacturing of motors for electric vehicles. Hence, growth in the adoption of electric vehicles will likely uplift demand for soft magnetic materials.

Soft magnetic composites have vast applications in magnetic sensors, such as for flat inductors, magneto-electronic components, etc. These sensors require thin SMC films, which are layered in structure. The increasing demand for magnetic sensors for security and automotive applications influences the supply-demand ratio in the SMC market.

Key Takeaways from the Report:

  • The global market for soft magnetic composites is projected to thrive at a 9.3% CAGR through 2033.
  • By material type, iron powder is set to hold a market share of 20.4% in 2023.
