Global Silicon Nitride Market Definition

Silicon Nitride is an advanced ceramic material that has better physical properties in comparison to other ceramic materials. Silicon Nitride has a chemical formula of Si3N4, which offers it better hardness, strength, toughness, and other physical characteristics. Silicon Nitride also has better resistance to high temperatures, making it an ideal material for such production operations.

It is particularly used commonly in gas turbines and automotive engines, which involve combustion at extremely high temperatures. In the automotive industry, various engine components, such as plugs and rotors, are manufactured using Silicon Nitride because of their resistance to temperature and shock. Furthermore, Silicon Nitride also has excellent conductivity and resistance to wear and tear, offering it higher demand in the market.

Global Silicon Nitride Market Overview

There are many applications of Silicon Nitride which has offered it excellent market demand throughout the years. The primary drivers for the global Silicon Nitride Market are its applications in the automotive industry. In the automotive industry, Silicon Nitride is used for producing rotors for turbochargers due to Silicon Nitride having excellent resistance to higher temperatures and being lightweight.

Generally, the turbocharger rotors are manufactured using metals, which can get extremely hot upon exposure to higher temperatures and relatively heavy weight. On the other hand, rotors manufactured using Silicon Nitride are lightweight and can withstand higher temperatures without being damaged. Thus, the preference for Silicon Nitride has increased in recent years in the automotive industry.

The demand for Silicon Nitride in the automotive industry is estimated to increase more during the forecast period. However, the availability of alternative ceramic materials for Silicon Nitride is expected to hinder the market growth for Silicon Nitride products.
