Silicon Carbide Market To Witness Commendable Growth At 11.7% % CAGR By 2030, Due To Rising Usage To Manufacture Refractory Materials For Steel Secotr | Grand View Research, Inc.

“Grand View Research, Inc. – Market Research And Consulting.”
According to a new report published by Grand View Research, the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic directly impacted the steelmaking operations in 2020. However, the steel industry is projected to make a strong rebound from 2021, which is likely to aid the global silicon carbide (SiC) industry growth.

The global silicon carbide market size was valued at USD 2.96 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 7.98 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 11.7% over the forecast period.

The increased use of the product to manufacture refractory materials for the steel industry is projected to aid the market growth during the forecast period. Silicon carbide is used as a raw material for refractory on account of its high-temperature resistance. The refractory products are widely used in the linings of kilns, furnaces, and reactors in various industries, such as cast iron, steel, aluminum, and metal. The production growth in the aforementioned ferrous and non-ferrous industries is expected to drive the market for refractory materials.

The silicon carbide consumption trends in the U.S. remain largely stable from 2017 to 2019, with wider product penetration observed in the domestic semiconductor sector. The use of the product in wafer form remained among the key point of applications. The vendors of the domestic market posted healthy growth, with Washington Mills emerging to be the front–runner in the U.S. silicon carbide industry. However, the global pandemic and resultant closure of manufacturing activities directly impacted the new order bookings, which ultimately led to the shortfall of FY 2020. The restriction on movement coupled with social distancing impositions directly affected the productivity rate of domestic manufacturers.

 

U.S. silicon carbide market size, by product, 2020 - 2030 (USD Million)

 

Since the U.S. is the largest producer of wafers and substrates for the semiconductor industry, the impact level was mildly reduced, especially by the last quarter of FY 2020. The industry dynamics are likely to improve significantly in FY 2021 as the industrial and electronic manufacturing in the country resume their operations. The pent-up demand is estimated to play a key role in boosting the demand for the product, especially from the local chips marketspace. Such trends are projected to positively influence the market growth of silicon carbide and associated products during the forecast period.
