Silicon Nitride Market Overview
Silicon Nitride Market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8%
during
COVID-19 Impact
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, many industries had suffered a
tumultuous time, and it was no different for the Silicon Nitride Market. Many
governments across the globe implemented lockdown regulations and factories
& production facilities in many sectors came to a halt. The supply chain
was greatly disrupted as many businesses followed the lockdown protocols. The
Automotive industry is one of the key end-users of silicon nitride. During the
pandemic, there was a sharp decline in the production of automotive products
which greatly affected the market. According to the Organisation Internationale
des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA), the total production of vehicles in
2020 was 22.7% lesser than in 2019. However, some industries were resilient
during the pandemic, namely the electronics industry. According to the Japan
Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), the
production value of the global electronics and IT industry is projected to have
grown by 2% year-on-year in 2020 and is estimated to be USD$ 2,972.7 billion.
Most of the growth is attributed to the Asia-Pacific region as the European
region had seen a net decline in production and sales. However, the overall
global situation is improving as the world population is getting vaccinated and
production facilities are reopening as lockdown protocols are being lifted. As
such, the demand for the Silicon Nitride Market is expected to grow within the
forecast period of

Silicon Nitride Market Drivers
The growing Automotive and Aerospace sector:
As mentioned above, some of the key
applications of silicon nitride are in the automotive industry and aerospace
industry among others. As such, the growth in these industries proves to be a
great driver for the Silicon Nitride Market. According to the Organisation
Internationale des Cosntructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA), the total production of
vehicles increased to 57.3 million in 2021 which was a 9.1% increase from the
production values of 2020. These factors are ideal for the growth of the
Electrical Steel Coatings Market within
Silicon Nitride Market Challenges
Alternatives to Silicon Nitride Ceramics:
One of the key challenges for the
Silicon Nitride Market is the availability of substitutes to silicon nitride
ceramics such as syalon 101 which is a Si-Al-O-N ceramic material. It has
excellent qualities similar to silicon nitride ceramic however it proves to be
more cost-effective than silicon nitride. Some more examples of different types
of ceramic are silicon carbide ceramic, which has good wear resistance and is
widely used as an abrasive, and tungsten carbide ceramic, which has excellent
thermal conductivity and outstanding thermal properties. As such, they prove to
be strong competition for silicon nitride.
