Magnetic Polymers Market Overview
The Magnetic Polymers market size
is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Magnetic
Polymers such as paramagnetic, ferromagnetic and ferrimagnetic are broadly
characterized as functional polymers with magnetic properties. Polyaniline or tetracyanoquinodimethane
combinations are used in Magnetic Polymers because they are ferromagnetic
compounds with the ability to attract metals. Magnetic Polymers often contain
magnetic particles such as iron oxide, cobalt ferrite, strontium ferrite and
nickel, while matrix materials such as epoxies, polyurethanes and polyimides
are frequently used. The Magnetic Polymers market is anticipated to be driven
by the rising end-user requirements and demand for consumer electronics
products in developing economies. Increased consumer demand for electronic
automobiles, mobile phones and other devices has led to an increase in
expenditures across several end-use industries, which is anticipated to offer
considerable prospects for Magnetic Polymers manufacturers. The
covid-19 pandemic majorly impacted the market due to restricted production,
supply chain disruption, logistics restrictions and a fall in demand. However,
with robust growth and flourishing applications across major industries such as
transportation, building & construction and others, the Magnetic
Polymers
industry is anticipated to grow rapidly during the forecast period.
