visibility of bone anatomy behind the implant. Hence, silicon nitride is found to be a
suitable material for the manufacturing of medical implants. Increasing occurrences of
orthopedic disorders in the geriatric population will drive the silicon nitride market in the
medical industry.
Use of sintered silicon nitride (SSN) in demanding applications will drive the growth
of the SSN type segment in the silicon nitride market.
SSN exhibits properties such as high-temperature strength, superior thermal shock
resistance, creep resistance, good fracture toughness, oxidation resistance, and excellent
wear resistance. The SSN is used in applications such as components in glow plugs in diesel
engines, pre-combustion chambers, turbochargers, rocker arm pads in spark ignition
engines, and components in exhaust gas control valves.
APAC to account for the largest share in the silicon nitride market during the
forecast period.
APAC is projected to lead the global silicon nitride market between 2018 and 2023. In
terms of growth rate, the region is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the
forecast period. The photovoltaic end-use industry was the largest in APAC in 2017. Silicon
nitride is used as an antireflective coating in solar PV panels, and, without it, the efficiency
of solar PV panel will decrease. The increasing adoption of renewable energy and
installation of solar energy will drive the silicon nitride market. Emerging markets such as
China, Japan, South Korea, and India are the major growth drivers of the APAC market.
