Global Silicon Carbide Market To Witness High Growth As A Result Of Strong Demand From Steel And Energy Sectors�
Silicon Carbide is a synthetically manufactured chemical compound of silicon and carbon. It is strong, oxidation resistant, thermal shock resistant, and chemical resistant. It is characterized by low density, low thermal expansion and high temperature strength. Hexa Research observes that these factors will contribute to the global silicon carbide market growing strongly at a CAGR of 15% from 2014 to 2020. Browse Details of Report @ http://www.hexaresearch.com/research-report/silicon-carbide-industry Silicon carbide’s applications include aerospace & aviation, electronics & semiconductors, steel & energy, military & defense and medicine & healthcare. Steel and energy, with a total demand of more than 300 kilo tons, was the largest application area in 2013. Silicon carbide is used as a deoxidizing agent in steel manufacture. It is also a manufacturing component for semiconductors. Pure silicon conductors are increasingly being replaced by silicon carbide semiconductors. Hexa Research opines that growing market for steel and semiconductors will prove favorable for future demand of silicon carbide. The revival of automobile industry, especially in Asia Pacific countries like China, will also boost demand. Silicon Carbide is used as an oil additive in automobiles. Medical and Healthcare application segments will grow rapidly at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2014 to 2020. Key market growth inhibitors include high manufacturing costs and low tolerance levels.
