Silicon Metal Market by Type (Metallurgy Grade and Chemical Grade), Application (Aluminium Alloys, Silicones, Solar & Semiconductor), Region, Global Industry Analysis, Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2021 to 2028

$4700

The silicon metal market is expected to grow from USD 6.83 billion in 2020 to USD 10.25 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period 2021-2028.

Silicon is a grey-looking semiconductor metal. Silicon can be found naturally in sand and dust, and an ample amount can be explored in the earth's crust. Minerals consisting of silicon have high melting points. Two types of silicon metal can be provided in the market. One is metallic grade silicon metal, and the other is chemical grade silicon metal. Metallic silicon is pure silicon metal with a purity of 99%. Silicon minerals are used to make aluminum alloys, stainless steels, semiconductors, and more.

The silicon metal market is mainly driven by various factors such as the increasing demand for aluminum alloys in the automotive industry, the growing application of silicon, the demand from energy storage markets, and the steady demand from the global chemical industry. The growing demand for silicon minerals for semiconductor production is also a major driver. Moreover, the increasing demand for aluminum and silicon alloys will mean increased demand in the silicon metals market. Oftentimes, the high production cost of silicon metal may hinder the growth of the silicon metal market. However, the use of silicon metal to produce solar panels will create opportunities for the silicon metal market.

This study delivers a comprehensive analysis of type, application and region. The type segment includes metallurgy grade and chemical grade. The metallurgy grade segment held the largest market share, owing to its use in the automotive and construction industries. The application segment includes aluminum alloys, silicones, solar & semiconductor. The aluminum alloy sector holds the largest market share due to its use as a strengthening agent and alloying agent in aluminum production. Aside from the production of aluminum alloys, a large part of the total production of silicon metal goes to the production of silicon.

The market has been divided into North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America. The Asia Pacific holds the largest market share, owing to China being the leader in the smelting industry and uses silicon metal in its steel &aluminum alloy production. Moreover, the presence of well-established automotive and semiconductor industries in India, Japan and China is one of the fundamental factors responsible for the highest market share.

Some of the notable players in the market are FerroglobePlc, Dow DuPont, Elkem ASA, RIMA Group, Rusal, LIASA, WackerChemie AG. Market players are expected to target the solar industry to improve sales. This is because polysilicon is expected to be the energy of choice around the world as solar energy provides grid parity and ease of installation. However, silicone price volatility and diminishing profit margins due to oversupply pose major challenges for suppliers.

The quantitative segment offers the most credible information related to the industry. Based on the data gathering, we use to derive the market size and estimate their future growth prospects on the basis of global, region and country.

Our market research process involves with the four specific stages.

  • Data Collection
  • Data Synthesis
  • Market Deduction & Formulation
  • Data Screening & Validation

Data Collection: This stage of the market research process involves with the gathering and collecting of the market/industry related data from the sources. There are basically two types of research methods:

  • Primary Research: By conducting primary research, it involves with the two types of data gathering; exploratory and specific. Exploratory data is open-ended and helps us to define a particular problem involving surveys, and pilot study to the specific consumer group, knowing their needs and wants catering to the industry related product/service offering. Explanatory data gathering follows with the bit of unstructured way. Our analyst group leads the study by focusing on the key crowd, in this manner picking up bits of knowledge from them. In light of the points of view of the clients, this data is used to plan advertise techniques. In addition, showcase overviews causes us to comprehend the current scenario of the business. Specific data gathering on the hand, involves with the more structured and formal way. The primary research usually includes in telephonic conversations, E-mail collaborations and up close and personal meetings/interviews with the raw material suppliers, industrial wholesalers, and independent consultants/specialists. The interviews that we conduct offers important information on showcase size and industry development patterns.
