Magnet Wire Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Copper, Aluminum and Other Types), Material (Polyetherimide, Polyether Ether Ketone, Polyimides, Polyamide-Imide and Other Materials), Form, Product type, Application, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Magnet Wire Market is accounted for $35.1 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $52.8 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period. Magnet wire is a term for the wire used to wind electrical apparatus. It is constructed of copper or aluminium and has a thin insulating layer covering to create electromagnetic fields. Films like polyvinyl formal, polyamide, and others are used to create the insulating layer. Through the use of electrical energy, a magnetic field is created. It is used to make coils for a variety of devices, including transformers, inductors, and motors. Copper is the most often used material for magnet wire, which is utilised in electric motors.
According to a study by Copper Development Association Inc., the stator windings of a pure electric car can use approx. more than a mile of copper wiring.
Market Dynamics
Driver:
Growth and expansion of electric vehicles
Electric vehicles have significantly contributed to a cleaner, safer, and more energy-efficient environment. All types of electric automobiles require varying amounts of magnet wire. These cables are utilised in bus bars, electric motors, and a variety of other applications in addition to charging infrastructure. As a result of this, the increasing production of hybrid and electric vehicles ultimately drives the growth of the market.
Restraint
Cracking and bulging of insulation
Magnet wires used for winding are produced in a very thin strand in order to wind a greater number of winds. The magnet wires are subjected to intense tensional and temperature stress, which alters their physical characteristics. As a result, the insulation on the magnet wires cracks. This damages the magnet wires, which affects their performance and limits market expansion.
Opportunity
Numerous benefits associated with magnet wire
Magnet wire features include heat resistance, good electrical qualities such as resistance to chemicals, varnishes, and solvents, insulation resistance, dielectric strength, and hydrolytic degradation. High-end electric and electronic items will be in high demand for both home and commercial uses, which will help the industry thrive. Furthermore, the rapid development of the consumer electronics sector will generate new opportunities for the market.
Threat
Shift towards compact motors
Increased demand for high-efficiency, high-performance motors and coils with small footprints the use of aluminium magnet wires is negatively impacted by upgrading larger-sized equipment since they take up more space than copper magnet wires. The use of magnet wires in these applications is declining as a result of the rising demand for small-sized applications. This is impeding market expansion.
Covid-19 Impact
Magnet wire demand has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 because to a decline in demand from a number of end use sectors. The pandemic's negative and immediate effects have been noticed by transportation, one of the main consumers of magnet wires. Due to the government-imposed shutdown and low demand from the electronics and electrical industries, the need for magnet wire is anticipated to decline. In order to respond to urgent situations, makers of equipment and machinery must prioritise protecting their workers, operations, and supply networks.
The round magnet wire segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The round magnet wire segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, owing to their properties. The magnet wires exact shape also determines the coil's tightness. Due to its characteristics of less space consumption and greater mechanical strength as compared to other shapes, round magnet wires hold a significant market share. These wires offer excellent flexibility, abrasion resistance, and strong mechanical strength.
The motor segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The motor segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to they are also utilized in a wide range of industrial applications that require rotating motion. The function of an electric motor is to convert electrical current into mechanical power. Magnet wires are furthermore utilised as winding coils in motors due to their superior dielectric strength, insulation resistance, and temperature resistance.
