Ferrite magnet accounted for over 75% of overall volume share in 2013. However, owing to their low cost as compared to other permanent magnets such as SmCo, Alnico, and NdFeB, it held a market share of over 19% by revenue in the same year. The product is used in the stator of the wind turbine which produces AC electricity. This AC power is then converted to DC form and is used to charge batteries which store electrical energy or is used to provide power to electricity grid.
NdFeB is expected to witness the fastest growth at a CAGR of over 8% over the forecast period owing to the benefits offered over other magnets in high-performance automotive applications. NdFeb is used widely in battery components, moving car parts, engine components, and other integral systems.
Automotive industry accounted for approximately over 50% of the global demand for permanent magnets in 2013. However, increasing adoption of renewable energy such as wind energy, energy generation has emerged as the potential market going forward till 2020. Energy generation is projected to be the fastest growing application market for the industry at a CAGR of over 8% during the forecast period.
