Silicon Metal Market to be worth US$3.4 mn by 2024 | TMR
The
global silicon market is dominated by a handful of multinational
companies featuring a consolidated vendor landscape, says Transparency
Market Research in a new report. This has forced companies to introduce
innovative products and engage in supply chain integration to sustain
this challenging vendor landscape. A case in point is Dow Corning
Corporation. The company has been engaged in mergers and acquisitions to
establish an integrated and cost-effective supply chain. Consequently,
the company has acquired the silicon manufacturing facilities of several
companies and this has not only provided efficiency and stability in
its business operations but also helped integrate these operations.

Another
excellent example is Wynca Group. The strong technical support network
of the company and research and development activities through Organic
Research Institute have been instrumental in developing newer
applications of silicon in the downstream part.
Rising
at a CAGR of 5.2% between 2016 and 2024, the global silicon metal
market is expected to be worth US$3.4 mn by the end of 2024 increasing
from US$2.2 bn in 2015. The volume demand for silicon metal is poised to
rise at a CAGR of 4.3% between 2016 and 2024.
Asia Pacific to Hold Significant position in Global Market
The
application segments of the silicon metal market include silicones and
silanes, aluminum alloys, solar panels, semiconductors, and others.
Aluminum alloys account for the highest consumption of silicon metal
with segment holding a share of more than 40% in 2015 in terms of
volume. This is because silicon improves the thermal conductivity,
castability, machinability, and corrosion resistance of aluminum alloys.
Silicones
and silanes also account for significant consumption of silicon metals.
This is due to the application of silicones in the manufacture of a
number of chemicals and materials that are used in building and
construction, personal care products, plastics, textiles, and
electronics.
However,
semiconductors is expected to display the fastest growth between 2016
and 2024. Low processing and extraction costs, easy doping, reduced
temperature susceptibility, and low current leakage of silicon makes it
the most suitable for the production of semiconductors.
The
regional segments into which the global market for silicon metal is
divided are North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and
Africa. Of these, Asia Pacific led with a share of more than 40% in the
overall market in 2015 in terms of volume. The region is also expected
to be the fastest growing regional segment for silicon metal. The region
is expected to display augmented demand for silicon metal owing to easy
availability of raw materials, optimistic economic growth, and cheap
labor and power costs. In this region, government policies in place that
are directed towards increasing production of sustainable energy using
solar panels are also expected to surge the demand for silicon metal.
The rapid growth of the building and construction sector in countries
such as China and India is also expected to translate into demand for
silicon metal thereby further supporting the growth of silicon metal
market in Asia Pacific.
North
America is expected to display moderate growth in the near future due
to moderate demand for silicon metal in aluminum alloys.

Government Directives for Utilizing Solar Energy Benefits Market
In
recent years, government regulations for the development of renewable
energy sources has been instrumental in the development of solar
industry. This, in turn, has translated into the soaring demand for
installation of solar panels across a host of industries. Solar panels
are an important application of silicon metals and increasing
initiatives for tapping solar energy translates into growth of the
silicon metal market.Silicon
