Silicon Nitride Market Dynamics:
Silicon nitride exhibits good mechanical properties and is lightweight and biocompatible. These properties makes it an ideal material in end-use industries like photovoltaic, medical automotive, aerospace, and general industrial. Growing request from these end-use industries is estimated to drive the market during the forecast period.
Silicon nitride is relatively expensive, but its price versus performance is better than its alternatives. Silicon nitride manufacturing is complex, which increases its cost. For instance, hot-pressed silicon nitride needs to be diamond grounded in order to obtain the desired shape. Both the price of grinding and equipment is high. Thus, the high cost acts as a major restraint to the request for silicon nitride. However, the development of silicon nitride as a biocompatible material in the medical industry and the implementation of electric and hybrid vehicles are major opportunities for various market players.
