India Soft Magnetic Materials Market to Surpass USD 4.18 Billion by 2032

India’s soft magnetic materials market is undergoing a clear transition, moving from import-led, low-grade electrical steel and basic ferrite supply toward indigenous, high-efficiency, and EV-grade chemistries used across power transformers, distribution networks, electric vehicle motors, renewable energy inverters, and high-frequency electronics applications.

According to Market Research Outlook’s latest research report, the India Soft Magnetic Materials Market is projected to grow from USD 1.92 billion to USD 4.18 billion at a CAGR of 11.7%, driven by electric vehicle expansion, RDSS-led grid modernisation, and rising demand from renewable energy and electronics manufacturing.

The market is transitioning from import-dependent commodity electrical steel toward indigenous high-grade CRGO and CRNGO laminations, advanced soft ferrites, amorphous ribbons, and nanocrystalline cores used across EV powertrains, smart transformers, and high-frequency power electronics.

What is changing is the nature of demand. OEMs, transformer manufacturers, and EPC players are prioritising energy efficiency, low core losses, BEE star ratings, and long-term supply reliability over purely cost-driven sourcing strategies.

With tightening BEE energy efficiency norms, BIS transformer standards, FAME II and PLI Auto schemes, RDSS-driven distribution upgrades, and PLI Specialty Steel investments, the market is accelerating localisation. Soft magnetic materials are increasingly positioned as performance-critical inputs directly linked to system efficiency, reduced energy losses, and grid resilience.

The growth of the India soft magnetic materials market is closely linked to rapid expansion in electric vehicle manufacturing and large-scale grid infrastructure investments. Global players such as Proterial, Vacuumschmelze, TDK, JFE Steel, and POSCO are expanding local manufacturing and enabling technology transfer, while domestic companies including Tata Steel, JSW Steel, ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India, Cosmo Ferrites, MIDHANI, and Sundram Fasteners are strengthening capabilities across CRGO and CRNGO electrical steel, soft ferrites, specialty alloys, and soft magnetic composite components.

At the same time, transformer manufacturers, EV motor producers, and electronics OEMs such as BHEL, Crompton Greaves, Voltamp Transformers, Siemens India, ABB India, Bharat Forge, Tata Motors, Mahindra Electric, Ola Electric, and Bajaj Auto are scaling capacity, creating sustained downstream demand across automotive electrification, grid modernisation, and consumer electronics.

Product development is increasingly centred on higher-performance and lower-loss chemistries, including ultra-thin CRGO laminations, low-core-loss CRNGO grades for EV traction motors, advanced Mn-Zn and Ni-Zn ferrites for high-frequency converters, amorphous ribbons for distribution transformers, and nanocrystalline cores for fast charging and power electronics. This shift is driving demand toward performance-graded materials that deliver higher energy efficiency, durability, and grid resilience, supporting premiumisation and stronger value realisation.

Despite this momentum, the market continues to face structural challenges. Volatility in raw material prices linked to silicon, nickel, cobalt, rare earth elements, and steel scrap, along with dependence on imported CRGO electrical steel and amorphous materials, remains a concern. Rising compliance requirements under BIS, BEE, IEC, RoHS, and REACH standards are also increasing cost and complexity for manufacturers targeting both domestic and export markets. However, ongoing investments in indigenous CRGO capacity by Tata Steel and JSW Steel, along with specialty alloy development by MIDHANI, are gradually improving localisation and supply security.

Looking ahead, the market is expected to benefit from rising adoption of EV-grade soft magnetic materials, continued expansion in grid modernisation and renewable energy systems, and growing export opportunities across the Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Increasing collaboration between steel producers, OEMs, and government-led PLI initiatives is accelerating indigenisation, technology transfer, and application-specific innovation, positioning the India soft magnetic materials market for sustained, value-driven growth.
