Soft Ferrite Segmentation

End-user (Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Power, Telecommunications)

The soft ferrite market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end users into transformers, motors, alternators, and others. Out of these, the transformers segment is estimated to gain the largest market share of about 48% in the year 2036. The growing demand for energy-efficient power distribution systems, as well as severe regulatory requirements to reduce power waste, are boosting the segment's growth prospects. The growing demand for energy-efficient power distribution networks, as well as severe federal regulations to reduce power waste, are boosting the market's growth opportunities. Increased innovation for the building of a centralized power distribution network, continuing use of sophisticated monitoring solutions, and the advancement of power distribution infrastructure are expected to open up new potential opportunities for the transformers segment. Baoding Tianwei Baobian Electric Co. Ltd revealed the manufacturing of its 110KV natural ester oil transformer in September 2022.

Product (Mn-Zn Ferrite, Ni-Zn Ferrite)

The global soft ferrite market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product into Mn-Zn ferrite, and Ni-Zn ferrite. Amongst these three segments, the Mn-Zn ferrite segment is expected to garner a significant share of around 65% in the year 2036. Manganese-zinc ferrite (Mn-Zn Ferrite) is widely used in the electrical sector owing to its low cost and, more importantly, its favorable externalities, and numerous industries manufacture motors and transformers. These ferrites are also employed in magnetic liquids, sensors, and biosensors. Furthermore, it has superior saturation levels and conductivity than nickel zinc ferrite from a technical standpoint. Throughout the mid-term projection time frame, there is expected to be a surge in consumer demand for Mn-Zn Ferrite.
