Global Injection Molding Permanent Magnetic Material Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Injection Molding Permanent Magnetic Material market size is predicted to grow from US$ 1,229 million in 2025 to US$ 2,027 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global sales volume of injection-molded permanent magnetic materials reached 40,000 metric tons, with an average price of $31/kg.

Injection-molded permanent magnetic materials represent a key segment of bonded permanent magnets. They are produced by uniformly mixing and granulating magnetic powders (such as rapidly quenched NdFeB, ferrite, or SmCo powders) with thermoplastic resin binders (e.g., Nylon PA12, PPS) and minor additives (lubricants, coupling agents, antioxidants). The mixture is then injection-molded—often under a magnetic field for orientation—to create isotropic or anisotropic permanent magnets with complex geometries. Key characteristics include near-net-shape capability, high dimensional precision (up to ±0.05 mm), suitability for high-volume automated production, and the ability to integrate inserts (such as metal shafts or plastic brackets) during molding; however, their magnetic properties are lower than those of sintered magnets (magnetic energy product typically ranges from 8 to 48 kJ/m³).

The raw material system for these magnets comprises three main components: magnetic powder, binder, and additives. Magnetic powder is the primary cost driver; for injection-molded NdFeB magnets, melt-spun NdFeB powder (typically Nd₁₄Fe₈₀B₆) is predominantly used—supplied largely by international companies like Magnequench—with a loading level typically reaching 86–92% (by volume). For injection-molded ferrite magnets, SrFe₁₂O₁₉ or BaFe₁₂O₁₉ calcined powders are used, which are significantly less expensive than rare-earth powders. Binders primarily consist of Nylon 12 (PA12) and PPS, accounting for approximately 7–12% of the volume; these materials must exhibit good thermal flow characteristics, compatibility with the magnetic powder, and sufficient mechanical strength after molding. The additive system comprises silane coupling agents (e.g., KH550, used for surface coating modification of magnetic powder), internal and external lubricants (EBS, zinc stearate), antioxidants (Type 168), and phosphating solutions (for anti-oxidation pretreatment of magnetic powder); the total additive content is typically less than 2%.

In terms of cost structure, injection-molded permanent magnet materials exhibit a characteristic profile where magnetic powder is the dominant cost factor, followed by binders and processing fees. Taking injection-molded NdFeB as an example, magnetic powder procurement accounts for 60–75% of the total cost (prices of rapidly quenched magnetic powder fluctuate with rare earth oxide prices; in 2025, the price of praseodymium-neodymium oxide exceeded 1.1 million RMB/ton, directly driving up powder costs); binders (PA12/PPS) and additives account for approximately 8–15%; injection molding processing fees (including equipment depreciation, energy consumption, and mold amortization) account for about 10–15%; and labor and administrative costs account for roughly 5–8%. For injection-molded ferrite, the cost share of magnetic powder drops to 40–50%, while the proportions of binders and processing fees rise relatively.
