Market Overview:
The global crystalline silicon market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for solar energy across the globe. Crystalline silicon is used in photovoltaic solar cells, which are used for converting sunlight into electrical energy. Additionally, rising demand for semiconductors and aluminum industry are also propelling the growth of this market. However, high cost of crystalline silicon compared to other materials is restraining the growth of this market.
Product Definition:
Crystalline Silicon is a type of Silicon that has been purified and cut into small, regular crystals. It is an important component of solar cells and computer chips.
Content 98.0%-99.0%:
The content 98.0%-99.0% is the range of silicon dioxide to about 2%, inclusive, of silica in a solid solution and includes grades such as C-SiO2, H-SiO2 and L-SiO2.
Content 99.0%-99.5%:
The Content 99.0%-99.5% is used for manufacturing crystalline silicon and it's major application is in the production of microchips which are used in almost all the electronic products from computers to smart phones, and every product has a chip inside it.
Application Insights:
Crystalline silicon is widely used in the aluminum industry on account of its superior properties such as high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. The product is used to manufacture primary and secondary aluminum alloys, which are further utilized in various end-use industries including automotive, construction, consumer electronics and packaging.
The application of crystalline silicon in silicone compounds offers benefits such as enhanced mechanical strength, thermal stability & insulation against heat & cold along with improved processing characteristics during molding & extrusion. These properties have resulted in increased product utilization across a wide range of applications including building materials (frames), industrial components (molded rubber products) and pharmaceuticals (vitamins).
Crystalline silicon is widely used for the production of photovoltaic solar cells owing to its low cost compared to other raw materials such as polycrystalline Silicon or monocrystalline gallium nitride.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to rising demand for solar panels and electronic devices in countries such as China, India, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. In 2016, China was estimated to have installed 17 GW of new photovoltaic capacity which accounted for more than half of all global installations that year. Crystalline silicon is used across a broad range of applications in these solar cells owing to its high efficiency at low cost per unit power generation.
The market in Europe is anticipated to grow moderately over the coming years on account of increasing investments towards research & development activities related to crystalline silicon products along with growing demand from microelectronics industry for semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for solar energy: Crystalline silicon is the most common type of solar cell material. The global market for photovoltaic (PV) cells, which use crystalline silicon to convert sunlight into electricity, is expected to grow from .7 billion in 2016 to 1.6 billion by 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. This growth is being driven by declining costs and increasing government support for renewable energy sources.
- Rising demand from the semiconductor industry: Crystalline silicon is also used in the manufacture of semiconductors, one of the fastest-growing segments of the electronics industry. The market for semiconductors is projected to grow from 1 billion in 2016 to 1 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5%. As this segment grows, so too will demand for crystalline silicon materials and products.
