In 2024, Japan continued to see a significant influx of magnetic materials imports, with key suppliers being China, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand. Despite a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, the overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 remained strong at 11.0%. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, suggesting that these top exporting countries hold significant influence over Japan's magnetic materials import landscape. This data underscores the importance of monitoring market dynamics and competition within the magnetic materials industry for stakeholders in Japan.

The Japan magnetic materials market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2020 to 2026. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage solutions, and other electronic applications such as medical devices, consumer electronics, etc., which are driving the need for advanced materials like magnets in their manufacturing processes. Additionally, increased government support towards the development of advanced material industries like rare-earth magnets will further fuel market growth in this period. Major players operating in this space include TDK Corporation (Japan), Hitachi Metals Ltd (Japan), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd (Japan) and Sumitomo Special Metals Co., Ltd (Japan).

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
