The global permanent magnet market size is expected to reach USD 38.53 billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The industry is anticipated to grow, primarily on account of increasing performance efficiency requirements and miniaturization of various automotive parts including sensors and electronic systems.

The growth of the industry is characterized by rising accessibility of quality magnets containing lesser content of hazardous elements such as dysprosium which is likely to drive the demand. The raw materials used for the production of permanent magnets are procured from low cost manufacturers located in China and other mineral rich regions to reduce the production cost.

The sudden shortage of rare earth elements led to the emergence of numerous research methodologies for developing alternatives to these elements. The focus of the research was particularly high in North America and Europe owing to the scarcity of rare earth element deposits in these regions.

The industry is also subject to various technological advancements such as the launch of "Lewis", a fast-track supermagnets manufacture project by the U.S. Department of Energy. The use of advanced technology programs coupled with the infusion of additional capital by the national governments to improve the production process is expected to drive the market growth.
