MAGNET WIRE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global magnet wire market size was USD 25.94 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow from USD 26.46 billion in 2024 to USD 31.06 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 2% during the forecast period. Asia-Pacific holds leading position in magnet wire market share in 2023.

In basic terms, magnet wire is used to synthesize electrical energy into magnetic energy.  It is an insulated medium composed of copper or aluminum that has application in wind propellers, transformers, power systems, and all kinds of industrial appliances that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Usually made of copper or aluminum, magnet wire produces an electrical field when coiled into a circuit and activated. 90% of all electrical energy needs to be modified with the help of an electromagnet in order to be usable. Magnet wire is utilized in everything from telephones to high-voltage transformers.

The demand for magnet wire is growing owing to its uses to make electromagnets, hard disc drive actuators, motors, speakers, transformers, inductors, and other devices that need tightly wrapped insulation. In the motors, it turns electrical power into mechanical mobility, primarily via the interplay of magnetic flux and current-carrying circuits, and electric motors incorporate coils to provide the necessary magnetic fields. Copper magnet wire is used to make transformer windings in two different forms, strips for bigger electronics and wire for smaller devices.

COVID-19 Impact: Market Experienced Decline Due To The Low Demand

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

The COVID-19 was unusual and created significant societal turbulence. It altered the way of life, had an effect on enterprises, and constrained medical resources. The healthcare industry put tremendous pressure on the economy's limited resources. During such periods, various industries' manufacturing processes were impacted and shut down. Additionally, demand has decreased to unexpectedly low levels across all industries. As a result, the decline in the number of goods made with magnet wire during the pandemic had a detrimental effect on the demand for the material.

Latest Trends

High-Powered Magnet Wires To Increase The Market Share

The extremely versatile electric motors used in high-end electric vehicles like Tesla have elevated the status of electric vehicles, which were formerly thought of as substandard to fuel-based vehicles. Due to the critical function that magnet wire performs it has been made possible in electric vehicles that now electric automobiles are on par with or even superior to their fuel-based counterparts. The future of vehicular transportation resides in the use of magnet wire-based electric motors. The adoption of such application of magnet wire has the allure that the improved performance and a smaller carbon footprint generate for buyers, producers, and other market players in the industry.
