Silicon Metal Global Market Opportunities And Strategies To 2033

Description

Silicon metal is a refined, high-purity form of silicon primarily used across various industries due to its unique properties. It is produced from quartz and other raw materials through a carbothermic reduction process in electric arc furnaces.

The silicon metal market consists of sales, by entities (organizations, sole traders or partnerships), of silicon metal that is used in the manufacturing of aluminum alloys, semiconductors, solar panels and stainless steel, making it an essential component in modern technology and manufacturing.

The global silicon metal market was valued at $6,031.03 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 2.0%.

Increasing Demand For Electric Vehicles

The increasing demand for electric vehicles drove the growth of the silicon metal market during the historic period. An electric vehicle is driven by an electric motor powered by a battery that can be charged externally. The silicon metal ensures energy efficiency, resistance to corrosion, durability and thermal expansion characteristics, which helps electric vehicles gain more battery-specific volume and energy density, thus boosting the demand. According to the International Energy Agency, a Paris-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, sales of electric cars (including fully electric and plug-in hybrids) doubled in 2021 to set a record of 6.6 million and on the world's roads by the end of 2021 was about 16.5 million. Therefore, the increasing demand for electric vehicles supported the growth of the silicon metal market.

Technological Advancements In Liquid Silicone Rubber Formulations

Companies operating in the silicon metal market are adopting new technologies in liquid silicone rubber formulations to enhance product performance and meet evolving market demands. Liquid silicone rubber (LSR), derived from silicon metal, possesses distinctive properties such as flexibility, durability and heat resistance, rendering it highly suitable for a diverse array of applications including automotive, electronics, medical devices and consumer goods. For instance, in January 2023, Dow, a US-based plastic and chemical manufacturer and synthetic fiber supplier, launched the SILASTIC SA 994X Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) series, a selective adhesion liquid silicone rubber. It is uniquely designed for two-component injection molding with thermoplastic substrates across multiple automotive applications with primerless, self-adhesive, general-purpose, self-lubricating, one-to-one mix ratio LSRs. It has durable adhesion under heat and humidity, 12-month shelf-life stability and can develop full bond strength instantly.

The global silicon metal market is highly concentrated, with large players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up 79.6% of the total market in 2023.
