Nano-Magnetic Devices Market Analysis by Mordor Intelligence

The nano-magnetic devices market reached USD 1.12 billion in 2025 and is forecast to attain USD 1.38 billion by 2030, registering a 4.26% CAGR. Demand escalates as spin-based architectures displace charge-based electronics, offering lower power consumption and faster switching.[1]U.S. Department of Energy, “Draft_EES2_Roadmap_AMMTO,” energy.gov Government incentives from the CHIPS and Science Act and the EU Chips Act accelerate research, while 300 mm fab upgrades lift manufacturing yields for GMR and TMR sensors. Automotive qualification of MRAM for over-the-air updates, deep-space demand for radiation-hardened memory, and Asia-Pacific fab expansion reinforce long-term growth. Nevertheless, export controls on cobalt and gallium, sub-10 nm patterning losses, and areal density limits for next-gen HDDs temper near-term momentum.
