Samarium Market Analysis
The global samarium market size reached 2,316 Tons in 2023. By 2032, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 3,048.36 Tons, at a projected CAGR of 3.10% during 2023-2032.
- The increasing demand for electric vehicles is driving the samarium market growth. Samarium is a vital component in the production of samarium-cobalt (SmCo) permanent magnets, which are used in electric vehicles (EV). As countries throughout the world ramp up their efforts to shift to renewable energy sources to tackle climate change, the demand for efficient and dependable magnets grows. Wind turbines, for example, use SmCo magnets because of their high magnetic strength and temperature stability, which are critical for efficient energy generation. Similarly, the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), driven by government policies and consumer preferences for environmentally friendly transportation, increases demand for samarium-based magnets. As per U.S. Energy Information Administration 2023, electric vehicles make up 6.7% of light-duty vehicles sold in the US and EVs comprise 16% of light-duty vehicles sold. Besides, in California, zero-emission vehicles made up 25% of new vehicle sales in the second quarter of 2023.
- One of the key drivers of the samarium market is the growing need for renewable energy solutions. McKinsey estimates that by 2026, global renewable-electricity capacity will rise more than 80% from 2020 levels to more than 5,022 gigawatts. Of this growth, two-thirds will come from wind and solar, an increase of 150% (3,404 gigawatts). By 2035, renewables will generate 60% of the world’s electricity. Samarium is a vital component in the production of samarium-cobalt (SmCo) permanent magnets, which are used in a variety of clean energy applications such as wind turbines. As the demand for clean and sustainable energy sources increases, the need for high-performance materials like samarium in renewable energy technologies also rises. This trend underscores the importance of samarium in advancing green energy initiatives and reducing carbon emissions globally. Wind turbines, for example, use SmCo magnets due to their high magnetic strength and temperature stability, which are critical for efficient energy generation.

Latest developments in the samarium industry:
- May 17, 2024: The Leningrad NPP (a branch of Rosenergoatom JSC, Rosatom Power Division) included samarium-153 in the range of isotopes produced for medical purposes. Today, radiopharmaceuticals with samarium-153 are widely used in palliative care to relieve pain that occurs with bone metastases, as well as in traumatology in the case of chronic musculoskeletal diseases. Samarium-153 isotope treatment can make it possible to avoid opioid analgesic use, while also inhibiting the progression of bone metastases and ensuring a lasting pain relief.
- June 9, 2024: Nissan Motor's goal to drive down the cost of electric vehicles is expected to hinge on a motor magnet it created using inexpensive material, samarium-iron, a rare-earth alloy. The Japanese automaker plans to bring the magnet to commercial feasibility by fiscal year 2030, which ends March 2031.
Product Description
Samarium is a chemical element with the symbol Sm and the atomic number 62. It is a member of the lanthanide series, which consists of 15 chemically related elements known as rare earth elements. Samarium has a bright silvery look and is reasonably stable in air, although it will tarnish over time if exposed to moisture. Besides, these are strong permanent magnets with a high resistance to demagnetization, exceptional thermal stability, and the ability to function at high temperatures. They find use in precise motors, electronic gadgets, and a variety of aeronautical applications. Samarium compounds, particularly samarium(III) oxide, are utilized as catalysts in several chemical processes, including the generation of ethanol and polymerizations.
