SiC Fibers Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028
The global SiC fibers market size reached US$ 689.9 Million in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1,222.1 Million by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5% during 2023-2028.
Silicon carbide (SiC) fiber is a high-performance ceramic material that improves mechanical parts and extends the lifespan of different products. It is widely utilized in the fabrication of ceramic brake discs for sports cars. Apart from this, it is employed in the aerospace industry for turbine engines, nozzles, propulsion units and combustor liners as SiC contributes to environment sustainability by increasing fuel efficiency and lowering carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) emissions. As it also offers various advantages, such as high thermal and corrosion resistance, limited thermal expansion, high melting point, low density, excellent shock resistance, and strong tensile strength, the demand for SiC is rising around the world.
SiC Fibers Market Trends:
At present, there is an increase in the demand for SiC fibers in nuclear power plants due to their high tolerance to heat and radiation. This, along with the growing employment of SiC fibers in the hot section elements of next-generation gas turbines, is driving the market. In addition, SiC fibers are used in vanes, thermal protection systems (TPS), thruster nozzles, and turbo pump components of space vehicles, which are offering lucrative growth opportunities to key players operating in the industry. Besides this, governments of several countries are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities for making SiC fibers more effective in high temperatures. This, coupled with the escalating demand for enhanced materials to instruct complex shapes in the defense industry, is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, automobile manufacturers worldwide are considerably focusing on the utilization of SiC fibers in future engine models, which is projected to propel the market growth in the forecasted period.
