Domestic Market Booms Driven by New Energy and Environmental Protection, Surging Demand for Dry Powder and Electromagnet

In 2026, China’s magnetic separator industry enters a high-growth and structural upgrading stage, with the annual market size expected to reach RMB 3.04 billion, a year-on-year increase of 11.4%. The market growth is mainly driven by four core sectors: new energy material purification, photovoltaic silicon iron removal, municipal sewage ultra-magnetic treatment, and steel slag resource utilization. Equipment such as dry powder electromagnetic separators, slurry electromagnetic separators, and drum magnetic separators have become essential standard equipment in industrial production. Permanent drawer grate magnets and rotary grate magnets have achieved a penetration rate of over 60% in food, chemical, and building material industries. High-gradient electromagnetic separators show the fastest growth in lithium battery recycling and rare earth purification fields, with a year-on-year demand increase of 25%. Industrial clusters in Shandong, Liaoning and Jiangxi gather more than 70% of domestic production capacity, greatly supporting large-scale manufacturing and export supply capacity. In the second half of the year, modular, high-magnetic-strength and energy-saving magnetic separation equipment will dominate the market, and customized industrial solutions will bring obvious product premium.
