(1) The production amount of Bonded Magnets in Japan was 217 hundred million yen (91%) and 13,900ton (99%) and has been decreasing by the over seas production movement. But including Japanese manufacturers production in over seas, the production value was 380 million dollars and almost same as peak value of in 1998. (2) The production amount in the USA and Europe is also decreasing. On the other hand South East Asia and China production are increasing. Total value of Bonded Magnets in the world was 935 million dollars and down by the reason of unit price down. (3) In Japan new bonded magnet materials have been developed. They are isotropic nano composite NdFeB, rapid quenched SmFeN, better thermal stability SmFeMnN, high performance hybrid anisotropic radial oriented ring and segment. (4) It is very important now "International Cooperation", I believe.
