Rare-earth magnet supply risks	−1.1%	Western manufacturers	Medium term (2–4 years)

Source: Mordor Intelligence

Proliferation of Low-Cost Stepper/BLDC Alternatives

Closed-loop steppers now integrate encoders and field-oriented control, offering servo-like accuracy at lower price points. Hybrid “step-servo” drives erode mid-range demand, especially where high torque at low speed dominates. BLDC motors gain share in continuous-duty and maintenance-free settings, supported by improvements in permanent-magnet materials. Chinese vendors exploit scale efficiencies to undercut established servo players, while universal digital interfaces make technology substitution easier.

Rare-Earth Magnet Supply Risks

China processes 90% of global rare-earth magnets, and new export licenses have already disrupted Western production lines. Analysts foresee a 3,000-ton praseodymium-neodymium oxide shortfall in 2025, driving price volatility. Alternatives such as ferrite or recycled magnets yield lower torque density, forcing trade-offs. Permanent-magnet-assisted synchronous reluctance designs offer potential relief but require fresh qualification and capital. Defense mandates for supply-chain provenance add compliance costs and compress sourcing options. ^{[4]National Defense Magazine, “Sourcing Rare Earth Magnets Posing Challenges,” nationaldefensemagazine.org}
