Soft magnetic materials are functional elements used to measure the magnetic field, electric current, displacement, and mechanical stress. They offer utmost permeability, slight coercive force, small hysteresis loss, remanent induction, and high saturation magnetization. They are utilized in the magnetic cores of transformers, inductors, motors, and generators worldwide. Some of the commonly used soft magnetic materials include pure iron, silicon iron alloys, and nickel-iron alloys.

Soft Magnetic Materials Market Trends:
Due to the growing global population, rapid infrastructural developments, and increasing manufacturing activities, the demand for soft magnetic materials in the energy and power industry is escalating around the world. Apart from this, there is a considerable increase in the application of these materials in the automotive industry across the globe. This can be accredited to the rising usage of high functional automotive components, such as the alternator, gearbox, induction coil, and antenna core. Soft magnetic materials are also increasingly being utilized in electric vehicles (EVs) on account of their benefits, such as compact design, low noise, and energy savings. As a result, the rising adoption of EVs around the world is catalyzing the demand for soft magnetic materials. Moreover, they are employed in the stators of brushless direct current (DC) motors, switch reluctance motors, claw pole motors, steppers motors, transformers, and alternators. Furthermore, the market is driven by numerous innovations in the development of harvesting renewable energy and growing investments in the power distribution sector. Other major factors, including the coronavirus diseases (COVID-19) outbreak and a significant need for medical equipment like ventilators that are made up of motors, are anticipated to positively influence the market across the globe.
