Global NCSMM market forecast by Fact.MR

Market share analysis of NCSMM based on application and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the application segment, the motor sub-segment dominates the market in 2022.

“Potential Applications in Power Electronics Design Promises Lucrative Opportunities”

With the value for cost-efficiency gaining higher emphasis among electronic systems manufacturers and end-users alike, designing inductive components using nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials has become the new normal.

Substantially smaller build-up volume, bigger safety margins, more stable operation, lightweight, and extended temperature range (-25 °C to 120°C (standard) or 180°C (special)) associated with nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials are factors that have led to its adoption in power electronics applications.

The current trend of increased power density, compact size, and higher frequencies in power electronics will further propel the consumption of nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials in the foreseeable future.

“Flexibility to be Shaped in Complicated Geometries to Increase Preference for NCSMM”

The high flexibility offered by nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials and the efficacy to achieve complicated geometries provides it a significant advantage over other conventional soft magnetic materials.

Two-dimensional (2D) characteristics and features of steel laminations confine molding of shapes and modifying component designs of electronic circuits.

In contrast, exceptional properties and three-dimensional (3D) structures of nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials have enabled a wide range of possibilities.

Built-in features, smooth modular structures, and 3D flux paths in new spatial arrangements in electronic circuits are key design areas where immense opportunities lie for players offering nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials in the coming years.

“Growing Demand for Ultra-Wide & Ultra-Thin Products Rises Production Complexity”

Amorphous soft magnetic material is a precursor of nanocrystalline soft magnetic material which is prepared by spraying the melted alloy on the water-cooled rotating copper roller to form a thin strip.

The highly complex manufacturing process demand high temperature ranging up to 1500oC. Further, to achieve instant solidification it requires a very high cooling rate, ranging up to the level of one million degrees per second with a speed of strip ejection up to 100 km/hr.

The thickness of ejected amorphous strip should be between 20-20 μm which requires high precision control and automation. In addition to these difficulties, the nanocrystalline product has to pass through heat treatment in which annealing temperature, annealing time, and cooling rate requires high precision.

Furthermore, different raw material ratios and different applications, and various downstream products need customized crystallization annealing process parameters.

After final production, the product has to go through the certification process and a number of tests like the high and low-temperature test, salt spray test, etc, the entire certification cycle accounts for over six months.

Moreover, continuous downsizing and compact designs coupled with the trend of miniaturization have pushed players to invest millions of dollars to align with emerging trends.

Above mentioned facts and scenarios are set to hamper the profit margins and revenues of the market players during the forecast period. Other than these facts, soaring prices of rare earth metals due to ongoing trade war tensions between China and the US will create an additional challenge for market players.
