Silicon Nitride Market by Type (Reaction Bonded Silicon Nitride, Hot Pressed Silicon Nitride, Sintered Silicon Nitride), End-use Industry (Photovoltaic, Automotive, General Industrial, Aerospace, Medical), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
[109 Pages Report] The market size of silicon nitride is projected to grow from USD 90 million in 2018 to USD 127 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period. Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is an inorganic, non-metallic compound of silicon and nitrogen. It is used as a ceramic material. It offers excellent resistance against abrasion, corrosion, and most chemicals. Among the advanced ceramics, silicon nitride has the highest fracture resistance than other advanced ceramic. Hence, these desirable properties make silicon nitride a suitable material for use in end-use industries such as solar photovoltaic, automotive, general industrial, aerospace, and medical among.
Medical is projected to be the fastest-growing end-use industry during the forecast period.
In the medical industry, silicon nitride is used as a material for manufacturing surgical screws, plates, and bearings for use in applications such as prosthetic hips, knee joints, and dental implants. Silicon nitride composites are also used in cervical spacers and spinal fusion devices. It is biocompatible, bioactive, bacterial resistant, and shows excellent bone affinity.
Also, silicon nitride can provide an exceptionally smooth and wear-resistant surface for applications, such as bearings for hip and knee replacements in the medical industry. The market for silicon nitride in the medical industry is in the nascent stage and is expected to grow the fastest in the coming years.
Sintered silicon nitride (SSN) is projected to be the largest segment of the silicon nitride market during the forecast period.
SSN exhibits properties such as high-temperature strength, superior thermal shock resistance, creep resistance, good fracture toughness, oxidation resistance, and excellent wear resistance. SSN is used in applications such as components in glow plugs in diesel engines, pre-combustion chambers, turbochargers, rocker arm pads in spark ignition engines, and components in exhaust gas control valves.
APAC is projected to be the largest market during the forecast period.
APAC is the largest silicon nitride market, and this trend is expected to continue until 2023. China accounted for the largest market in the region, followed by Japan, South Korea, and India in the year 2017. China is also projected to grow the fastest, in terms of consumption, between 2018 and 2023. There is an increase in the consumption of silicon nitride in the automotive industry. Growing innovation and the rising demand for improved products in the end-use industries are driving the use of silicon nitride in the region.
