The global ferromagnetic fluid market size was USD 57 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 84.7 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the ferromagnetic fluid market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Ferromagnetic fluid is a colloidal liquid made of nanoscale ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic particles suspended in a carrier fluid (usually an organic solvent or water). Each magnetic particle is thoroughly coated with a surfactant to inhibit clumping. Large ferromagnetic particles can be ripped out of the homogeneous colloidal mixture, forming a separate clump of magnetic dust when exposed to strong magnetic fields.

Ferromagnetic fluid is the oily substance collecting at the poles of the magnet which is underneath the white dish. When a magnetic field is applied to a ferromagnetic fluid, the particles align with the field and the fluid becomes magnetized. The strength of the magnetic field determines the degree of alignment of the particles. When the magnetic field is removed, the particles return to their random orientation.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the ferromagnetic fluid market share. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in demand for ferrofluids from key end-user industries, such as the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries. This was due to the slowdown in economic activity and the disruption of supply chains caused by the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic also disrupted the supply chains for ferrofluids, as many of the raw materials and components used in the production of ferromagnetic fluid are sourced from countries that were affected by the pandemic. This led to shortages of ferrofluids and higher prices. The COVID-19 pandemic also led to a decline in investment in research and development (R&D) in the market. This was due to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic and the need for companies to focus on their core businesses.

Latest Trends

"Increasing use of ferrofluids in medical applications is expected to fuel the growth in the market"

Ferrofluids can be used to separate different types of cells based on their magnetic properties. This is done by applying a magnetic field to the ferromagnetic fluid, which causes the cells to align with the field. The cells can then be separated by their different magnetic properties. This technique is used in a variety of medical applications, such as cancer research and drug development. Ferrofluids can be used to improve the contrast of MRI images. This is done by adding ferromagnetic fluid to the blood of the patient. The ferromagnetic fluid will then align with the magnetic field of the MRI scanner, which will make the blood appear brighter in the images. This technique is used to improve the visualization of tumors and other abnormalities in the body. The increasing use of ferromagnetic fluids in medical applications is a promising development. These fluids have the potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of medical conditions.
