Samarium Cobalt magnets can maintain their magnetic properties at temperatures up to 350°C or even higher, surpassing the limits of neodymium iron boron magnets, which start losing effectiveness around 80°C.
In terms of value, high operating temperature is the second-largest segment in the permanent magnet market."
Permanent magnets operating at high temperatures offer exceptional thermal stability and resistance to demagnetization. Industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, general industrial, medical technology, aerospace & defense, and environment & energy often require magnets that can maintain performance under elevated temperatures. Alnico, SmCo, and ferrite magnets provide the highest temperature resistance among permanent magnets, without any loss of performance. These magnets are preferred in environments where standard NdFeB magnets would lose strength or suffer irreversible damage, ensuring reliability and longevity of key components.
"In terms of value, the automotive industry ranks second in the permanent magnet market."
Due to the rapid growth in electric and hybrid vehicles, the demand for permanent magnets is quickly increasing in the automotive industry. Permanent magnets, particularly Neodymium Iron Boron magnets, offer high torque density, superior efficiency, and a compact size, all of which are essential for improving vehicle performance and extending battery range. As global efforts to reduce carbon emissions intensify, automobile manufacturers are increasingly adopting electric propulsion systems, which further drives demand for permanent magnets. Ongoing advancements in battery and magnet technology, along with supportive government policies for clean energy, have accelerated the integration of permanent magnets in the automotive industry.
"The permanent magnet market in Europe is projected to register the third-highest CAGR."
The growth of the permanent magnet market in this region is primarily driven by increasing consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. The market has a wide geographical presence with well-established players. Most of these players are based in Europe. In Germany, the demand for permanent magnets is mainly fueled by the consumer electronics industry. The country is experiencing a high demand for home appliances, wearable devices, smart homes, and advancements in augmented and virtual reality, which are expected to boost the growth of the permanent magnet market within the consumer electronics sector. By 2025, a leading German magnet manufacturer, Vacuumschmelze GmbH & Co. KG, plans to expand its US operations to support American OEMs and establish itself as a key non-Chinese supplier of high-performance magnets used in EVs and defense systems.
