Samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets are made using samarium, cobalt, and iron. They are strong permanent magnets that are widely known for their exceptional magnetic strength and high resistance to corrosion or demagnetization. They offer excellent thermal stability and can withstand very high operating temperatures. As they are very strong and brittle yet susceptible to chipping and cracking, they require storage in low humidity and mild temperature, as well as proper handling and packing.

Samarium Cobalt Magnets Market Trends:
SmCo magnets are employed in numerous end use industries, such as defense and aerospace, across the globe due to their advantageous properties. This represents one of the key factors strengthening the growth of the market. For instance, they are used in the manufacturing of consumer electronics and medical equipment across the globe. They are also utilized in military weapons and several systems of aircraft to generate power. Apart from this, there is a rise in the demand for miniaturization of equipment and high magnetic strength in new and existing applications. This, in turn, is positively influencing the overall sales of SmCo magnets worldwide. Furthermore, with the growing environmental concerns among individuals and governing authorities, there is a considerable increase in the demand for electric and hybrid vehicles around the world. This is positively influencing the usage of these magnets in the automotive sector. Additionally, leading players are engaging in merger and acquisition (M&A) activities to increase their existing market reach, which is anticipated to fuel the market growth.
