Silicon carbide is produced synthetically and posses properties such as oxidation resistance, low density, high strength, high temperature strength, high thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion, and good chemical resistance. These tangible properties are expected to be a major factor for the market development. Replacement of pure silicon semiconductors with silicon carbide technology semiconductors is anticipated to have positive impact on the market over the next five years. Low tolerance level coupled with high manufacturing cost due to low manufacturing volumes and yields are expected to restrain the market growth over the forecast period.
Product Insights:
Based on products, silicon carbide is segmented into types such as black, green, coated, refractory, metallurgical briquettes, metallurgical, and micro grit. Among all, green and black are the major product segments and are anticipated to experience stagnant growth in near future. Demand for black silicon carbide is likely to boost over the forecast period on account of its increasing usage in ceramic, refractory and steel industries.
