About magnetic media, not recorded, except cards with a magnetic stripe

cpc code 4753 covers the production and distribution of magnetic media, excluding recorded media and cards with a magnetic stripe. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electronics and information technology sectors, providing the essential storage and data transfer components that enable the functioning of a wide range of electronic devices and systems. As the demand for digital storage and data management continues to grow, the importance of this industry in supporting the broader economy cannot be overstated.

Production process

The production of magnetic media, as described by cpc code 4753, typically involves a multi-step process. First, the base material, often a polymer or metal alloy, is prepared and coated with a magnetic layer. This magnetic coating is then precisely calibrated and applied to the base material using specialized machinery. The coated material is then cut, shaped, and packaged to meet the specific requirements of the end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of magnetic media under cpc code 4753 include the base materials (such as polymers or metal alloys), magnetic coating materials (such as iron oxide or chromium dioxide), and specialized production equipment (such as coating machines, slitting machines, and packaging equipment). Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating and maintaining the production machinery, as well as ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by cpc code 4753 is magnetic media, such as magnetic tapes, disks, and other storage devices. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 4741 Computers and peripheral equipment, 4742 Telecommunications equipment, and 4749 Other electronic and electrical equipment and components, n.e.c., which use them for data storage, backup, and information transfer purposes.
