Description

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global SmCo Permanent Magnetic Material market size was valued at US$ 425 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 590 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.7% during review period.
Global sales of SMCO permanent magnet materials reached 3,000 tons in 2025, with an average price of $123/kg.
Samarium-cobalt (SMCO) permanent magnet materials are rare-earth permanent magnet alloys with samarium (Sm) and cobalt (Co) as the main components, belonging to the second generation of rare-earth permanent magnet materials. Their general chemical formula is usually SmCo₅ (1:5 type) or Sm₂Co₁₇ (2:17 type), and they are manufactured through sintering using powder metallurgy. Samarium cobalt permanent magnets possess extremely high magnetic energy product (BHmax up to 15–32 MGOe), excellent high-temperature resistance (maximum operating temperature up to 300–350°C, some high grades exceeding 500°C), outstanding demagnetization resistance, and good corrosion resistance. Furthermore, they do not contain neodymium (Nd), a rare earth element with low strategic sensitivity, and perform better than neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) in extreme environments.
The raw material supply chain for SmCo permanent magnets is heavily concentrated in two sectors: rare earths and strategic metals. Core raw materials include samarium (Sm) and cobalt (Co). Samarium is primarily extracted from rare-earth ores such as monazite and bastnäsite, with China possessing the world's largest rare-earth reserves and smelting/separation capacities. Cobalt supplies rely heavily on copper-cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and nickel-cobalt mines in Indonesia; the global supply chain is highly concentrated, and prices are subject to significant volatility. Additionally, the production of 2:17-type SmCo requires the inclusion of small amounts of elements such as iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zirconium (Zr) to optimize magnetic properties. Upstream industry segments include rare-earth oxide smelting, metal reduction, and alloy melting; China holds a dominant global position in upstream rare-earth separation and master alloy production. In 2025, China's Ministry of Commerce implemented export licensing controls on rare-earth-related products, further highlighting the geopolitical sensitivity of the supply chain. In terms of cost structure, Samarium-Cobalt (SmCo) permanent magnet materials are classic examples of products where costs are overwhelmingly driven by raw materials; cost fluctuations are determined almost entirely by the prices of upstream rare earth elements and cobalt. Based on the industry benchmark where magnets account for approximately 30% of the total cost of permanent magnet synchronous motors—and reflecting the typical cost composition of the rare earth permanent magnet sector—direct raw materials (samarium metal, cobalt metal, minor amounts of iron/copper/zirconium, and auxiliary materials) constitute 70–85% of the total cost. Cobalt metal is often the most significant variable in this cost structure due to its high price volatility (with prices fluctuating sharply between $15 and $40 per pound during 2024–2025). Energy consumption and equipment depreciation associated with the powder metallurgy sintering process account for approximately 5–10%; precision machining (grinding, wire-cut EDM, surface treatment) accounts for about 5–8%; and labor and administrative expenses account for roughly 5–10%.
