Market Overview:
The global silicon nitride and silicon nitride ceramics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for silicon nitride and silicon nitride ceramics in aerospace components, cutting tools, bearing rolling elements, and other applications. Silicon nitride is a high-performance ceramic material that offers superior thermal shock resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and electrical insulation properties as compared to other ceramic materials such as alumina or zirconia. Silicon nitride ceramics are also available in different grades depending on the application requirements such as CPS (ceramic powder sintered), RS (reaction bonded), GPS (green machined part sintered), and other types.
Product Definition:
A compound of silicon and nitrogen, Si3N4, having a very high melting point and used especially as a ceramic.
CPS:
Ceramic Coatings & Sol-Gel Technologies, LLC (CPS) is a technology and service provider for specialty ceramic coating solutions. Ceramic coatings are used in various end-use industries including medical, automotive, aerospace & defense among others.
RS:
RS is short for Room Temperature. It is the temperature range where materials are stable and can be easily handled by most processes used in manufacturing semiconductors, electronic devices, etc. Silicon nitride and silicon nitride ceramic material has been widely used in making components of nuclear reactors which are critical for energy production & distribution as well as military applications such as rail guns ammunition carriers & storage magazines.
Application Insights:
Aerospace components was the largest application segment in 2016 and is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The product has a wide range of applications in aerospace components, such as fasteners, bushings, thrust washer, bearing races and rolling elements. Silicon nitride ceramics are used for manufacturing high-performance aircraft parts that deliver enhanced strength with low weight compared to conventional alloys.
The cutting tools segment is anticipated to register a CAGR of XX% from 2017 to 2030 owing to its properties including wear resistance and hardness which make it suitable for grinding & machining operations in industries like metalworking and construction equipment industry. Silicon nitride ceramic products are used as cutting tools for woodworking machines like table saws where they provide higher speed stability against kickback during operation along with better accuracy than steel or aluminum alternatives due largely their superior wear resistance property when exposed to keratinous materials (wood).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a share of more than 30% in 2016 owing to high product demand from various end-use industries, such as aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery and electronics. China is projected to remain a key consumer country owing to rapid industrialization along with strong economic growth.
The growing manufacturing sector coupled with increasing foreign investments in India's infrastructure development project has led to an increase in the consumption of silicon nitride ceramics for construction applications. In addition, rising automobile production by domestic manufacturers including Maruti Suzuki; Tata Motors; Hyundai Motor Company; Honda Motor Co.; and others are likely boost product demand across Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and aerospace industries due to its properties such as high strength, light weight and thermal conductivity.
- Growing demand for silicon nitride ceramics in medical implants and prosthetics due to its biocompatibility.
- Rising demand for silicon nitride ceramics in energy-efficient lighting applications as they have low heat emission characteristics.
- Increasing use of silicon nitride ceramics in semiconductor packaging and microelectronics due to their superior electrical insulation properties.
