KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Supply and Demand Chain were Interrupted Due to Restrictions Imposed

Due to mandatory lockdown and other restrictions set by the relevant regulating bodies in the wake of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the activities of multiple industries have either been temporarily shut down or are running with a small personnel.The restrictions put in place globally to stop the spread of the coronavirus caused the construction of new buildings to stop, numerous companies to shut down, and a decrease in the consumption of energy that has impacted the superconductors market share. However, the market size has indirectly grown due to the rising use of medical equipment and the use of MRI machines, which has also increased demand for superconductors. Superconductor demand is increasing due to a number of factors, including businesses restarting operations and adjusting to the new normal as they recover from the effects of COVID-19.

LATEST TRENDS

The Intensive Utilization in Medical Sector to Attract the Consumers and Inflate the Market

Technological advancements and advances in the realm of superconductivity are expected to be the main drivers of demand for these materials for a variety of applications, including transmission and transformation. The market for superconducting materials worldwide is now dominated by the medical industry. Due to the growing health difficulties and concerns around the world, there has been a significant increase in the demand for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices in recent years. In order to maintain the strong magnetic fields, energy must be provided via superconducting materials in MRI machines. In order to virtually completely eliminate resistance in the cables, superconducting materials are used. Additionally, governments in a number of developing nations have boosted their spending in the medical sector in an effort to improve the effectiveness of equipment. The demand for superconducting materials is anticipated to be highest in the medical sector during the forecast period due to the aforementioned reasons.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the deployment of superconducting circuits in quantum computing saw a significant boost in 2024, with more than 60% of U.S. national labs adopting superconducting qubits for quantum simulation and modeling. 

• Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), over 55,000 MRI systems globally now incorporate superconducting magnets for enhanced imaging, indicating a steady shift towards superconductive components in healthcare technology.

DRIVING FACTORS

The Growing Energy Demand Across the Globe to Uplift the Market Demand

Global energy consumption is predicted to increase as a result of daily activities, which will help drive up demand for goods and services. Energy firms employ superconducting components to improve the efficiency of the power system. For instance, the Center for Sustainable Systems projects that between 2019 and 2050, the annual growth rate of renewable energy consumption will be 1.9% on average, compared to a 0.3% growth rate for overall energy use.

• According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), superconducting magnets are now used in 85% of experimental fusion reactors, including ITER and SPARC, due to their ability to maintain strong magnetic fields with minimal energy loss. 

• Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) notes that superconducting cables have been deployed in over 18 pilot smart grid projects across Europe and Asia for lossless power transmission, with up to 30% efficiency gain reported in transmission lines.

The Intensive Use in Automotive Industry to Drive the Market Growth

A rise in the demand for electric motors is a result of increased per capita disposable income and expanding vehicle demand, notably in Asia Pacific. The rise in motor demand is anticipated to fuel market expansion. The need for magnets is anticipated to soar in a number of end-user applications, including high-speed trains and cryogenics and bio magnetism. These are also employed in information processing and quantum computers.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The Raw Materials Price Fluctuations to Restrain the Market Growth

Titanium metal, bismuth metal, yttrium metal, and other metals are the main raw materials for superconductors. Changes in the upstream product's pricing will have an impact on the superconductor's production costs, which will subsequently have an impact on the superconductor's price. However, the growth is being hampered by the insufficient supply of feedstock materials, such as yttrium and it will likely limit the superconductors market growth in the coming years.

• As per the European Cryogenics Council, more than 72% of superconducting systems face operational limitations due to inadequate or expensive cryogenic cooling systems, which require temperatures below -196°C (77K).

• According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the global supply of rare earth elements like yttrium and bismuth—critical for high-temperature superconductors—declined by 8.3% in 2023, limiting production scalability.
