Silicon Metal Market to Surpass US$ 8.2 Bn By 2028 - Coherent Market Insights

Publish In: Jun 28, 2022

The production of silicon metal involves the reduction of quartz. Carbon is used as a reducing agent for the remaining quartz. A final reaction occurs above the centre of the furnace at a temperature of over 1835oC. The temperature is maintained by an electric arc between the electrode tips and the furnace's centre. As the silicon metal is formed, the melting process ends. The silicon metal is then extracted from the furnace. There are many different processes for the production of silicon metal. The raw materials used in silicon metal production are coal, quartz, and wood chips.

Market Statistics:

The global Silicon Metal Market was estimated to account for US$ 6.1 Bn in terms of value by the end of 2021.

Global Silicon Metal Market: Drivers

Growing demand for silicon metal from construction industry is driving growth of the market. Silicone sealant or adhesive is majorly used in commercial and residential construction for materials that may be exposed to extreme weather conditions, such as rain, direct sunlight, strong wind, or freezing temperatures. Thus, increasing global construction industry is expected to boost the sale of silicon metal market.

Global Silicon Metal Market: Opportunities

Post Covid-19 various companies are rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID- 19 impact by adopting the remote working model. This is expected to provide significant growth opportunities to the key players. Moreover, additional applications, such as wire-wound components, electrical connectors, lithium-ion batteries, and UPS power backups, are growing constantly which is again anticipated to impact the market growth positively.

Global Silicon Metal Market: Restraints

Impact of Covid-19 on wide range of manufacturing industries such as automotive, construction, semiconductor, and others is expected to hinder the silicon metal market.

Global Silicon Metal Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

Key players functioning in the market are adopting new strategies in order to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Mining industries in China have returned to normal operations in Q3 of 2020 as enterprises indicated towards the returning of their workers soon. Moreover, Iron ore producers are known to be the least impacted. Steel and iron ore industry globally has regained strength which is expected to lower the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on silicon metal industry.
