Hexagonal Boron Nitride Market by Type (Powder, Sheets), Application (Composite Materials, Electrical Insulation, Lubrication) - Global Forecast 2024-2030

The Hexagonal Boron Nitride Market size was estimated at USD 827.65 million in 2023 and expected to reach USD 873.09 million in 2024, at a CAGR 5.65% to reach USD 1,216.45 million by 2030.

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h-BN) is a crystalline state of boron nitride, which consists of a layered structure similar to graphite. Each layer is composed of hexagonally arranged boron and nitrogen atoms, connected through strong covalent bonds, whereas the forces holding the layers together are relatively weak. This unique structure endows h-BN with several exceptional properties, notably its excellent thermal conductivity, high electrical resistance, and significant thermal and chemical stability. The growth of industries such as electronics, aerospace, and automotive that heavily integrate h-BN in their applications boost the demand for the hexagonal boron nitride market. In addition, environmental and safety regulations promote the use of eco-friendly and non-toxic materials, including h-BN. However, the high production cost and complexity of manufacturing processes limit the expansion of hexagonal boron nitride. Furthermore, innovations in material science and engineering to enhance the properties of hexagonal boron nitride pose significant opportunities for market growth.
