Global Samarium Cobalt Magnets Market Fuelled by Expanding Applications

“Global Samarium Cobalt Magnets Market Fuelled by Expanding Applications”
The global samarium cobalt magnets market is witnessing a positive growth. This can be accredited to the several advantages offered by samarium cobalt magnets such as high magnetic strength, extreme thermal stability and resistance against corrosion.

A form of rare earth magnets, samarium cobalt (SmCo) magnets are made of an alloy of cobalt and samarium. These magnets exhibit optimal thermal stability, high corrosion resistance and high magnetic strength as compared to neodymium (NdFeB) magnets. In addition to this, samarium cobalt magnets require proper handling owing to their brittle nature and need to be stored in atmosphere with mild temperatures as they are highly susceptible to cracking. A new research report by IMARC Group, titled “Samarium Cobalt Magnets Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Forecast and Opportunity 2018-2023”, estimates that the market reached a volume of nearly 3,825 Metric Tons in 2017.

Global Samarium Cobalt Magnets Market Drivers/Constraints:

  • These magnets are essentially used in various military weapon along with electrical systems in aircrafts for generating power. This is one of the major factors which is driving the growth of the market.
  • Owing to their high working temperature, samarium cobalt magnets are being increasingly utilised for the applications of aerospace and military. This is another factor which is positively influencing the market growth.
  • There has been a rise in the demand for miniaturisation of equipment and high magnetic strength in emerging and existing applications. This has highly contributed towards an augmented demand for samarium cobalt magnets across the globe.
  • However, these magnets are costlier than ferrite magnets and have to be handled with care owing to their brittle nature. This, in turn, has hindered the growth of the market.
