However, the availability of other magnetostrictive materials such as iron, cobalt, nickel, rare earth materials, and more are projected the restrain the ferrite magnetostrictive materials market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact

The virus epidemic has ravaged the worldwide industrial market, resulting in economic crises across all verticals of the industry. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the global electronics industry had been growing at a slow rate. After the pandemic, the global electronics industry faced a dual impact. Many factories were pressured by the COVID-19 pandemic to temporarily shut down their production units, owing to which the electronics industry saw a drop in trade from January to November 2020. The production facilities of the electronics parts were halted owing to the logistics slowdown and unavailability of the workforce across the globe. On the other hand, various e-commerce companies across the globe discontinued the delivery of non-essential items (including most of the electronics products), which affected the electronics industry. And since ferrite magnetostrictive materials are often used in the electronics products such as magnetic stress sensors, ultrasonic radiators, and more; the hindrance in the electronic sector functioning, also affected the ferrite magnetostrictive materials market revenue growth in 2020.

Ferrite Magnetostrictive Material Market Segment Analysis – By Application

The magnetic stress sensor segment held a significant share in the ferrite magnetostrictive material market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 8.2% during 2021-2026. Manganese-substituted cobalt ferrite magnetostrictive materials are promising candidate materials for use in magnetic stress sensors, due to their large magnetostriction and high sensitivity of magnetization to stress. Also, substituting manganese for some of the iron in the cobalt ferrite can lower the curie temperature of the material while maintaining suitable magnetostriction for stress sensing applications. Thus, ferrite magnetostrictive materials are often a preferred material of choice for the production of magnetic stress sensors.

Ferrite Magnetostrictive Material Market Segment Analysis – By End-Use Industry

The consumer electronics segment held the largest share in the ferrite magnetostrictive material market in 2020 and is growing at a CAGR of 13.7% during 2021-2026. For applications requiring torsion and stress, cobalt ferrites substituted with manganese are one of the most promising materials. The magnetostriction properties of these signposts for manganese-substituted cobalt ferrites can be implemented successfully in different directions. They can be used as friction, torsion, ultrasonic radiators, stress sensors as well as magnetic cores, as a gigantic material. Ferrite magnetostrictive materials are commonly used for sensing mechanical pressures and magnetic fields in magnetoelastic transducers. Ferrite magnetostrictive material possesses piezoelectric and magnetostrictive properties, which help it in converting both mechanical and magnetic energies into electricity. These characteristic features of ferrite magnetostrictive materials make it a promising material of choice for consumer electronic products manufacturing.
