Global Soft Magnetic Composites (SMCs) Market Definition

Soft magnetic composites are ferromagnetic powder particles that are coated with a film of a uniform electrical insulating film. The application of soft magnetic composite includes use in electronics for automotive and energy power. Soft magnetic composite is usually made up of iron material. To smooth the path for compaction and ejection from the die, the material is pre-mixed with compaction lubricant. During heat treatment, the lubricant is removed.

Compact, high-performance, and cost-effective electromagnetic composites are frequently made with SMCs. These composites are mostly used in the production of automobile components such as traction motors, air conditioning compressors, pumps, on-board chargers, and other components. The expansion of SMCs can be ascribed to an increase in demand for solar panels, which has resulted in a domino effect, positively affecting the market space posture of SMCs.

Soft magnetic composite is a major contributor to the economic development of any country’s economy due to its increased utilization in electric vehicle manufacturing. This is the fastest growing sector in the electronics market owing to the focus of manufacturers on high-performance, high-tech devices which are compact in size and have long shelf life.

The soft magnetic composite market is expected to develop as the number of nuclear power plants, cars, and electrical appliances (pump, compressor) grows. Furthermore, expansion in the automotive and energy sectors is expected to open doors for organizations looking to enter the soft magnetic composites market. Soft magnetic materials are often employed in motor-driven systems due to their ability to minimize vehicle weight when compared to standard electric steel. Compact design, energy savings, and low noise will continue to drive demand for soft magnetic motors in electric and hybrid vehicles, which will support the worldwide soft magnetic materials market’s growth shortly.
