SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS MARKET ANALYSIS

Superconducting magnets are produced with superconducting wire coils. Superconducting magnets are able to carry currents without loss of energy, owing to their superconductivity. Due to this, it allows the user to produce tremendously high magnetic fields without providing high power supplies. These properties offer economic striking analytic and economic advantages over electromagnets. Moreover, the high magnetic fields produced by superconducting magnets require comparatively lower cost than electromagnets. Superconducting magnets find application in various industries such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), medical devices and equipment, particle accelerators, fusion reactors, mass spectrometers, and separation process.

Market Outlook
