A metal magnetic powder core is a type of magnetic core made from a powder of ferromagnetic material, such as iron or nickel. The powder is mixed with a binder and then moulded into the desired shape. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. The shape of the core is determined by the type of device it will be used in.

They are used in a variety of electronic devices, including inductors, transformers, and motors. They offer a number of advantages over other types of magnetic cores, including high permeability, low hysteresis losses, and good thermal stability.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the metal magnetic powder core 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the metal magnetic powder core market share. The lockdown measures implemented by governments across the globe have led to a decline in demand for electronic devices. This is because people were unable to go out and buy electronic devices, or they were not willing to spend money on non-essential items. The shift to work from home has also led to a decline in demand for electronic devices. This is because people were no longer required to use electronic devices for work, and they were also saving money on transportation costs. The COVID-19 pandemic has also led to supply chain disruptions, which has made it difficult for manufacturers to get the materials they need to produce them. This has led to a decline in their supply, which has further increased prices.

Latest Trends

Improved manufacturing processes is expected to fuel the growth in the market

Manufacturers are developing improved manufacturing processes for metal magnetic powder cores that can produce cores with higher quality and lower costs. Powder metallurgy is a manufacturing process that uses powdered materials to create solid objects. This process is used to produce them because it allows for precise control over the size, shape, and composition of the powder. This results in cores with high quality and low costs. These improved manufacturing processes are expected to lead to increased demand for them. This is because they allow for the production of cores with higher quality, lower costs, and more complex shapes. This makes them more suitable for use in a wider range of electronic devices.

• According to Asia‑Pacific trade association data, over 35% of soft magnetic powder cores sold in 2023 were used in electric motor inductors across EV and hybrid vehicle applications
• Association figures show that as of 2024, Asia‑Pacific (notably China, Japan and South Korea) accounted for approximately 60% of global production volume of metal powders intended for magnetic cores

Metal Magnetic Powder Core Market Segmentation

By Type Analysis

According to type, the market can be segmented into MPP Core, Sendust Core, High Flux, Fe-Si.

• MPP Core: MPP cores offer excellent temperature stability and low core losses, making them ideal for high-frequency applications. Their high resistance to saturation and minimal hysteresis losses suit precision circuits like inductors and transformers.
• Sendust Core: Sendust cores combine low core loss with minimal magnetostriction, reducing audible noise in magnetic components. They are particularly effective in power factor correction and noise filtering due to their superior DC bias characteristics.
• High Flux Core: High Flux cores, made from 50% nickel alloy, provide exceptional saturation flux density, supporting high current handling in compact sizes. They are well-suited for uninterruptible power supplies and high-efficiency inductors.
• Fe-Si: Fe-Si cores are cost-effective and widely used in power transformers due to their low eddy current losses. Their crystalline grain orientation enhances magnetic performance in alternating current applications

 By Application Analysis

Based on Application, the market can be divided into photovoltaic, new energy vehicles, household appliances, UPS, telecommunication and others.

• Photovoltaic: Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity using solar panels, offering a clean and renewable energy source. They play a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and decentralizing power generation.
• New Energy Vehicles: New energy vehicles, including electric and hybrid cars, utilize battery and motor technology to reduce fossil fuel dependence. They are central to the shift toward sustainable and low-emission transportation.
• Household Appliances: Modern household appliances rely on energy-efficient electronics and smart controls for convenience and reduced power consumption. From refrigerators to washing machines, these devices enhance daily life while supporting green energy goals.
• UPS: UPS systems provide backup power during outages, ensuring uninterrupted operation of critical equipment. They protect data and maintain uptime in medical, industrial, and IT environments.
• Telecommunication: Telecommunication systems demand stable, high-frequency power for signal transmission and data processing. Components like magnetic cores and power converters ensure efficiency and signal integrity in networks.
• Others: Other applications span across industrial automation, medical equipment, and aerospace systems where precision and reliability are essential. These sectors leverage advanced energy solutions to improve performance and sustainability

 Driving Factors

Growing adoption of electric vehicles to foster the market growth

Electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular due to a number of factors, including government regulations, rising fuel prices, and concerns about climate change. As the number of electric vehicles on the road increases, the demand for metal magnetic powder cores, which are used in the motors of electric vehicles, is expected to grow. Metal magnetic powder cores are used in the motors of electric vehicles because they are able to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy efficiently. This is important for electric vehicles, as it helps to improve their range and performance. In addition, metal magnetic powder cores are relatively low-cost and easy to manufacture, which makes them a cost-effective option for electric vehicle manufacturers.

• Reports from international renewable energy associations indicate that installations using magnetic core inductors (e.g. wind turbine inverters) grew by 25% in unit count between 2022 and 2023
• Standards body data shows that demand for low-loss fine-grain cores rose by 40% in consumer electronics (e.g. smartphones, laptops) between 2021 and 2023

Expansion of the renewable energy sector to result in the expansion of the market

The renewable energy sector is also expected to create new opportunities for the market. Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, require a large number of electronic devices, such as wind turbines and solar panels. These devices use metal magnetic powder cores. They are used in wind turbines and solar panels because they are able to generate and store electrical energy efficiently. This is important for renewable energy devices, as it helps to improve their performance and reliability. In addition, metal magnetic powder cores are relatively low-cost and easy to manufacture, which makes them a cost-effective option for renewable energy device manufacturers.

Restraining Factors

Stringent environmental regulations to hamper the market growth

Many countries have regulations that restrict the use of hazardous materials in the manufacturing of metal magnetic powder cores. This is because these materials can pose a risk to human health and the environment. As a result, manufacturers are being forced to use alternative materials that are less hazardous. These stringent environmental regulations are impacting the market in a number of ways. First, they are increasing the cost of manufacturing them. Second, they are limiting the availability of certain materials that are used in their manufacturing. Third, they are forcing manufacturers to invest in new technologies to reduce emissions and waste.

• Industry reports state that iron-based feedstock prices fluctuated by up to ±15% during 2023, impacting production cost stability.
• Government regulations introduced in 2024 in China and South Korea required a 20% reduction in emissions per ton of powder produced by the end of 2025, adding compliance burdens.
