Superconductors Market Key Players and Forecast by 2031

The superconductors market size is projected to reach US$ 10.91 billion by 2031 from US$ 5.72 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 8.4% during 2023–2031. The integration of generative AI accelerator chips is likely to remain a key trend in the market.

Superconductors Market Analysis

Superconductors have a wide range of applications in MRI technology. This technological trend is projected to continue beyond the forecast period, indicating that the market for superconducting materials is promising. In addition, one of the primary reasons driving the demand for superconductors is the rising need for highly efficient electric motors. These factors are further contributing to the growth of the global superconductors market analysis.

Superconductors Market Overview

The term superconductor refers to those materials that conduct electricity without resistance. These can carry power for a continuous period without losing any energy. Critical magnetic field, heat capacity, critical temperature, and critical current density are all physical parameters of superconducting materials. Depending on the type of superconducting material, these qualities may differ. However, qualities like resistivity are not affected by the substance. The medical business has been changed by introducing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment that uses superconducting materials. Other industries that have benefited considerably from superconductors include transportation, military, electronics, and power utilities.

Superconductors Market: Strategic Insights

Superconductors Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Consumer Electronics Industry to Favor Market

Superconductors are critical components of electronic devices, allowing advancements in communications, computers, healthcare, military systems, transportation, clean energy, and a wide range of other uses. Computers (+34%) and TV sets (+12%) have expanded far faster than cell phones (+1%) in the last three years internationally, most likely owing to COVID-19 limitations and increased time spent working and studying from home. As a result, smartphones' proportion of total sales dollars for the three device categories has decreased from 65% to 60%. With the increasing demand for consumer electronics, the demand the superconductors is expected to rise in the coming years.

Increase in Use of Smart Manufacturing Processes

Over the years, superconductor fab facilities and outsourced superconductor test and assembly facilities (OSATs) have used IoT devices, robotics technology, artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), and analytics to achieve smart, lights-out chip factories that are completely automated. Wafer fab equipment manufacturers, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs), foundries, and back-end assembly and test (AT) facilities are all increasing their investments in smart manufacturing methods, digital tools, and technologies.
