Magnetic Materials Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Magnetic Materials Market according to our research experts:
Growing Demand from Power Generation Sector
- Magnetic Materials have been increasingly used in the power generation sector. These materials are used in motors to generate power and transmission of electricity. Magnetic materials majorly finds their application in equipment such as motors, generators, transformers, actuators, amongst others.
- Electric machines are made of hard magnetic materials and are used for one basic function, which is to provide magnetic flux. Hard magnetic materials have high coercivity in order to resist demagnetization from the electric circuit and thermal demagnetization under high operating temperatures.
- Generators are majorly used in power generation plants to produce electricity. Magnetic materials in generators use electromagnetism mechanism and convert energy from mechanical to electrical energy.
- According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Asia-Pacific has become the largest producer and consumer of electricity in recent years due to increase in population and industries in this region.
- Rising usage of electricity, growing population, and technological advancements in developing regions are driving the demand for power generators, which in turn is expected to drive the market for magnetic materials through the years to come.
