Report Description and Highlights 

Global Rare Earth Magnet Market Worth US$ 10.2 Billion 

Well diversified and increasing industrial applications coupled by the fact that they have limited substitutes are 

currently catalysing the global demand of rare earth magnet market. Government initiatives to promote green 

technologies in order to decrease carbon emissions are also expected to thrust forward their global demand in 

the coming years. 

Rare earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets as they produce significantly stronger 

magnetic fields compared to the ferrite and AlNiCo magnets. Two types of rare earth magnets currently available 

are Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets and Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) magnets. Neodymium magnets have become 

very popular in recent years because they offer the highest magnetic field strength and magnetic stability but 

have a lower curie temperature. Compared to NdFeB magnets, SmCo magnets have a weaker magnetic field 

strength but a higher curie temperature and are extremely useful for applications requiring high field strength 

while operating at high temperatures. According to IMARC Group, a leading market research company based in 

India, the global rare earth magnet market has grown at a CAGR of around 7% during 2008-2015, reaching a 

market value of around US$ 10.2 billion in 2015.

The report entitled “Rare Earth Magnet Market – Industry Trends, Manufacturing Process, Plant Setup, 

Machinery, Raw Materials, Cost and Revenue” has segmented the rare earth magnets market on the basis of 

type, application and region. On the basis of magnet type, the market has been divided into Neodymium 

magnets (NdFeB) and Samarium-Cobalt magnets (SmCo).

The markets of the two types are individually analysed on the basis of key regions. NdFeb are the strongest and 

most affordable due to which they account for the majority of the global rare earth magnet market. Countrywise, 

China represents the largest producer as well as the consumer because it has a monopoly over the raw 

materials used to produce them. Japan represents the world’s second largest market where the demand is 

primarily driven by the fact that the country is home to some of the world’s largest automobile and electric 

appliance producers. The third and fourth largest markets are Europe and the USA respectively. Wide-ranging 

and rapidly expanding industrial applications, limited substitutes for Neodymium magnets and government 

initiatives to promote green technologies so as to decrease carbon emissions are several factors due to which 

the global demand for Neodymium magnets is expected to grow continuously.

Similar to NdFeB magnets, China represents both the largest producer as well as the largest consumer of SmCo 

magnets followed by the USA and Europe. Increasing defence spending is expected to be the biggest driver of 

these magnets in the coming years. SmCo magnets are particularly used in defence and aerospace sectors. 

Rare earth magnets are used in a wide array of applications. On the basis of end-use industry, Motor and 

Generators constitute the largest sector, followed by HDD/CD/DVD, Transportation, Energy Production and 

Storage, Transducers and Drives, Clutches and Braking. The report also discusses the key players which are 

concentrated mainly in China, the USA, Europe and Japan. Globally, most of the manufacturers of rare earth 

magnets are based in China as a result of a secure and economical supply of key raw materials.
