A developing apparatus, a process cartridge and an image forming apparatus of which the image density can be maintained and the fogged image and the uneven density can be within an acceptable level even when the diameter of a developer carrying member is not more than 12 mm. The outer diameter of the developer carrying member 41 is not less than 8 mm and not more than 12 mm, and a magnetic mono-component developer 43 has a saturation magnetization of not less than 20 Am<SUP>2</SUP>/kg and not more than 37 Am<SUP>2</SUP>/kg when the magnetic field of 79.6 kA/m (1000 oersteds) is applied, the magnetization of not less than 70% and not more than 80% of the saturation magnetization when the magnetic field is lowered to 55.7 kA/m (700 oersteds), and the magnetization of not less than 50% and not more than 62% of the saturation magnetization when the magnetic field is lowered to 39.8 kA/m (500 oersteds).
