Electronic Device Magnets Global Market Report 2024

The electronic device magnets market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $24.68 billion in 2023 to $27.33 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.8%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the surge in personal computing, the trends in mobile computing, the implementation of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies, the adoption of cloud computing, and the considerations related to security and compliance requirements.

The electronic device magnets market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $39.04 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to the adoption of hybrid work models, progress in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), emphasis on employee wellbeing, incorporation of virtual and augmented reality, cybersecurity challenges, and corresponding solutions. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass technological convergence and integration, considerations regarding data privacy and governance, enterprise digital transformation, a shift towards cloud-based EUC (End User Computing) solutions, and the adoption of unified endpoint management.

The anticipated growth in the electronic device magnet market is expected to be driven by an increased demand for compact and efficient magnets. These magnets, characterized by their high magnetic strength and compact sizes, find applications in industrial automation, robotics, electric vehicles, and the expanding renewable energy sector. Utilized in electronic devices for functionalities such as sensors, actuators, and data storage, compact and efficient magnets contribute to miniaturization, energy efficiency, and overall device performance. A notable example is the heavy reliance of the U.S. on imports for sintered NdFeB magnets, with 75% sourced from China in 2021, according to the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). The remaining 9%, 5%, and 4% come from Japan, the Philippines, and Germany, respectively. Therefore, the increased demand for compact and efficient magnets is a driving force behind the growth of the electronic device magnet market.

The increasing demand for consumer electronics is poised to fuel the growth of the electronic device magnet market. Consumer electronics, such as smartphones and laptops, play a significant role in driving the demand for electronic device magnets. These magnets enable essential functions such as speaker audio, sensor operation, and secure device closures. In 2023, global smartphone sales, the largest sector in consumer electronics, experienced year-on-year growth in Q1 2021, up 27% compared to the previous year, as reported by Zipdo, a Germany-based provider of meeting management and productivity software. Consequently, the growing demand for consumer electronics is a key factor propelling the growth of the electronic device magnet market.

The anticipated growth may face hindrances due to supply chain vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities in the supply chain can impede the availability of magnets within electronic devices through a single pathway. The Department of Energy noted in February 2022 that a significant challenge in the U.S. NdFeB magnet supply chain is the heavy dependence on China for both source materials and magnets. This challenge is further compounded by insufficient capabilities in the intermediate stages of rare earth metal processing and the manufacturing of sintered magnets. Consequently, supply chain vulnerability poses a restriction to the growth of the electronic device magnet market.

Prominent companies in the electronic device magnet market are actively pursuing innovative technologies, such as clean earth magnet technology, with the aim of reducing the cost of magnets utilized in electronic device production. Clean earth magnet technology involves the development of permanent magnets using iron nitride, a material known for its abundance, affordability, and environmentally friendly properties. A notable example is Niron Magnetics, a U.S.-based startup dedicated to creating sustainable and rare earth material-free magnets for electric vehicles (EVs) and other electronic devices. In 2023, Niron Magnetics successfully developed clean-earth magnets utilizing iron nitride, an abundant and cost-effective alternative to rare-earth minerals. These magnets exhibit performance and temperature stability equivalent to, or even better than, traditional rare earth magnets. The application of these magnets extends to various sectors, including consumer electronics, industrial motors, pumps, compressors, wind turbines, and other products.

In August 2023, Standex International Corporation, a U.S.-based electronics company, completed the acquisition of Minntronix Inc. for approximately $30 million. This strategic move by Standex is aimed at strengthening its market position, expanding the company's product portfolio, and enhancing its capabilities in the field of magnetics. The acquisition of Minntronix Inc., a U.S.-based company specializing in the design and manufacturing of magnetics for applications such as telecom and data communication, has the potential to contribute to increased market share and revenue for Standex in the electronic device magnet market.
