Market Overview:
The global high purity Germanium tetrachloride market is expected to grow at a CAGR of xx% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for optical fiber and other applications. Some of the key players operating in this market are Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. (Japan), and OCI Company Ltd. (South Korea).
Product Definition:
A colorless, nonflammable liquid with a pungent odor. It is used as a semiconductor material in electronic devices.
6N:
6N, also known as hexachloroplatinate, is an inorganic compound. It's a solid material that dissolves in water to give a green solution and is mainly used for the de-icing of aircraft. The compound has no commercial use other than this application and hence it's produced synthetically by the chlorination of germanium tetrafluoride which is itself an industrial chemical.
8N:
8N is the chemical formula for high purity germanium tetrachloride. It is a pale yellow solid and has a slight odor. Germanium tetrachloride (Ge(Cl4)2) can be considered as an industrial by-product, which was obtained during the production of other chemicals such as hexane and terephthalic acid.
Application Insights:
Optical fiber application is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Optical fibers are used in a variety of applications including telecommunication, lighting and laser applications. High purity germanium tetrachloride is used as an essential material for manufacturing optical fibers owing to its high refractive index and low dispersion properties. It has been observed that the addition of HPGCl increases the light-gathering ability of an optical fiber which leads to increased transmission speed with minimal loss, thereby making it suitable for use in long-distance communication applications.
Other than being used as a material for manufacturing optical fibers, HPCI finds application as a chemical intermediate in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides and lubricants among others.
Regional Analysis:
Europe was the dominant regional market in 2017 and accounted for over 35% of the global revenue share. Germany is one of the major producers as well as consumers of high purity germanium tetrachloride globally. The region is expected to dominate the industry on account of growing demand for high purity germanium from various end-use industries such as electronics, automotive, optoelectronics, etc.
Germany has been a major producer and consumer in Europe owing to easy availability of raw materials coupled with technological advancements in manufacturing processes. However, stringent government regulations regarding VOC emissions are expected to hamper growth over next eight years due to phase out period associated with halogenated hydrocarbon used for manufacturing germanium tetracHLOide by 2030; this will especially affect downstream companies that utilize halogenated solvents such as trichloroethylene (TCE) or tetrachloroethylene (TEA).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries
- Growing application of high purity Germanium tetrachloride in solar energy systems
- Rising demand for high purity Germanium tetrachloride from research institutes and universities
- Increasing use of high purity Germanium tetrachloride in optical fiber communication systems
- Growing popularity of LED lighting
