Scope of the Report

The global Magnetic Cartridges market size is predicted to grow from US$ 103 million in 2025 to US$ 135 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2026 to 2032.

A magnetic cartridge, more commonly called a phonograph cartridge or phono cartridge or (colloquially) a pickup, is an electromechanical transducer that is used to play recordson a turntable. There are two types of cartridges, moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC), both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges are tiny electromagnetic generators, converting the mechanical movement (vibration) created by their stylus riding in a record’s groove into an electrical signal that will be amplified and processed by a sound system for us to enjoy. Both use magnets and coils of wire to generate the signal, with one or the other vibrating in unison with the stylus assembly to which they are attached.

At present, advanced magnetic cartridges mainly in the hands of Japanese and European and American companies, and the industry has a strong technology monopoly. Global leading companies include Audio-Technica, Goldring, Nagaoka, Grado Labs, Ortofon, Gemini Sound, Denon, Dynavector, etc. The main sales areas of magnetic cartridges are in Europe and the North America, which together account for about 65% of the global revenue market share. The Asia-Pacific market also plays an important role in driving the development of the global market, thanks to the rapid growth of Japan, China and India in particular. Magnetic cartridges are divided into two type, Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC), which account for less than 60% and 40% respectively.
