The rising demand for consumer electronics is expected to drive the growth of the spintronics market in the coming years. Consumer electronics, which include everyday devices such as smartphones, laptops, TVs, gaming consoles, and smart home products, are becoming more integrated into daily life, boosting communication, productivity, and convenience. This integration is also evolving to meet changing consumer needs and lifestyles. Spintronics plays a vital role in enhancing consumer electronics by providing faster, more efficient data processing, reduced power consumption, and improved magnetic storage capabilities, which enhance performance in speed, energy efficiency, and data storage. For instance, in May 2023, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, a Japan-based trade association, Japan’s electronic equipment production reached 771.45 billion yen (approximately USD 5.6 billion). The production of consumer electronics increased to 32.09 billion yen (around USD 233 million), up from 25.26 billion yen (about USD 183 million) recorded in May 2022. As a result, the rising demand for consumer electronics is significantly contributing to the expansion of the spintronics market.

Key players in the spintronics market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as spin-memristors, to improve data storage efficiency and enable ultra-low-power neuromorphic computing. Spin-memristors are advanced memory devices that combine spintronics (spin-based electronics) with resistive switching to deliver ultra-low power, non-volatile data storage and neuromorphic computing capabilities. For instance, in October 2024, TDK Corporation, a Japanese electronics company, unveiled a cutting-edge spin-memristor designed for neuromorphic devices. This breakthrough utilizes spintronics technology to reduce AI power consumption by up to 1/100th of current levels. Unlike conventional digital memory, which uses binary signals (0 or 1), the spin-memristor stores data in analog form, mimicking the brain's energy-efficient processing. Similar to magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM), the spin-memristor uses magnetic domains that change conductance in response to applied currents, boosting computational efficiency and promoting sustainability in AI systems.

In October 2023, Allegro MicroSystems, a semiconductor company based in the United States, acquired Crocus Technology for $420 million. This acquisition is aimed at accelerating Allegro MicroSystems' tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) strategy, strengthening its leadership in the magnetic sensing market, enhancing its advanced sensor technology capabilities, and expanding the use of TMR technology in high-growth industries. Crocus Technology, also based in the United States, specializes in spintronics, particularly in the development of advanced magnetic sensors based on TMR technology.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have influenced the spintronics market by increasing costs for imported magnetic materials, semiconductor wafers, and advanced fabrication equipment used in MRAM and spin-based devices. These impacts are most evident in data storage, automotive electronics, and industrial sensing segments, with Asia-Pacific and North America being the most affected regions due to concentrated manufacturing and cross-border supply chains. Higher duties have prompted delays in capacity expansion and increased device pricing. However, tariffs have also encouraged localization of manufacturing, regional supply chain development, and greater investment in domestic spintronics research and production capabilities.
