The increase in demand for silicon carbide fiber in the aerospace sector is notably driving the silicon carbide fiber market growth, although factors such as high costs associated with silicon carbide fibers may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the silicon carbide fiber industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Silicon Carbide Fiber Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the silicon carbide fiber market is the increase in demand for silicon carbide fiber in the aerospace sector. Silicon carbide fibers possess advantageous properties of high heat resistance, chemical stability, high modulus, lightweight, and durability, among others. This makes them appropriate for use in a variety of aerospace-related applications, including insulation for heat engines, nanotubes in turbines, ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), and substitutes for metallic alloys. Also, with a drastic decline in weight and increase in the fuel efficiency of aircraft engines, the use of Silicon carbide fibers in the aerospace sector, in turn, improves the environment and the economy for aircraft makers. Due to advantageous features, composites such as Silicon carbide fibers are widely used in the aircraft manufacturing business. As several countries look to modernize their defense aircraft fleet, demand for aircraft materials has also increased over the past decade. The development of advanced materials has benefited from increased defense spending. These factors will contribute to the Silicon carbide fiber market growth.
Key Silicon Carbide Fiber Market Trend
The rising preference for lightweight materials is a silicon carbide fiber market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. The global growth in the aerospace and defense industry has fueled the demand for lightweight materials, such as silicon carbide fiber, that exhibit high strength, and excellent durability. As lightweight materials and innovative designs are crucial for aircraft manufacturers to increase their market shares, such materials are increasingly being used in the aerospace and defense industry. As silicon carbide fibers are lightweight and exhibit high strength, they are increasingly used as a replacement for steel and aluminum in engines. Silicon carbide fibers have been identified as a potential new raw material to improve the efficiency and durability of aircraft engines. Silicon carbide fiber's ability to endure high temperatures without distortion renders it perfect for the fabrication of ceramic brake discs for sports cars in the automobile sector. Thus, the rising preference for lightweight materials will drive the demand for silicon carbide fibers, thereby propelling the growth of the market.
Key Silicon Carbide Fiber Market Challenge
The high costs associated with silicon carbide fibers will be a major challenge for the silicon carbide fiber market during the forecast period. With the rise of industrialization and the expansion of aerospace, power generation, and industrial and chemical industries across the globe, the demand for silicon carbide fibers is increasing. However, the development of Silicon carbide fibers has been largely influenced by high raw material costs. Silicon carbide composites are more expensive than their substitutes, such as metals, plastics, and polymers. The costs of manufacturing and R&D associated with Silicon carbide fibers are very high, which can reduce the demand for silicon carbide fiber in composites and increase the demand for substitute products. Thus, the high cost of raw materials may hinder the growth of the global silicon carbide fiber market.
