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

cpc code 47530 covers the classification of magnetic media, excluding recorded media and cards with a magnetic stripe. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader electronics and technology sector, providing the essential storage components for a wide range of digital devices and systems. As the demand for data storage and transfer continues to grow, the importance of this industry in supporting the digital economy cannot be overstated.

The production of magnetic media, as described by cpc code 47530, involves the precise manufacturing of magnetic coatings and substrates. This typically includes the application of magnetic particles, such as iron oxide or chromium dioxide, onto a flexible plastic or metal base material. The coated material is then cut, shaped, and packaged to create the final magnetic media products.

The main inputs required for the production of magnetic media under cpc code 47530 include raw materials such as magnetic particles, binders, and base substrates. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as coating and slitting machines, are essential for the manufacturing process. The industry also relies on skilled technicians and engineers to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 47530 are various types of magnetic media, including tapes, disks, and other storage formats. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 47540 Magnetic media, recorded, 47550 Optical media, not recorded, and 47560 Optical media, recorded, as well as the broader electronics and information technology sectors.
