Medical end-use industry to witness the highest CAGR in the global silicon nitride
market during the forecast period.
In the medical industry, silicon nitride is used as a material for manufacturing surgical
screws, plates, and bearings for use in applications such as prosthetic hips, knee joints, and
dental implants. Silicon nitride composites are also used in cervical spacers and spinal
fusion devices. It is biocompatible, bioactive, bacterial resistant, and shows excellent bone
affinity.
The usage of silicon nitride for implants is in the nascent stage, and its long-term durability
is yet to be studied. However, it is found to be better than currently used materials. The
other advantage of silicon nitride is that it can be easily seen on X-rays as it does not block
the imaging of bone anatomy behind the implant and its dielectric and non-magnetic
nature will eliminate any distortions in CAT and MRI scans. On the other hand, plastic
implants on X-rays are invisible, and metal implants appear solid, thus obscuring the
