Silicon
metal is a grey metallically glossy semi-conductive metal which is used in the
manufacturing of steel, solar panels, aluminum alloys, and microchips. It is
also known as semi-metallic or metalloid. It is generally produced by smelting
quartz & coke in a submerged in an energy-intensive, electric arc furnace.
It acts as a raw material for a huge number of industrial & consumer
products for instance sealants, lubricants, coatings, adhesives, and polishes
& cosmetics. It is necessary in the production of aluminum & chemical
products. It is also an essential material in electronics or solar industries.
Its electrical properties are modified through a process called doping, which
make it an ideal material for constructing transistors that amplify electrical
signals. It possesses a restrained energy band gap of 1.12eV at 0 K, which
makes it a stable element. The key properties are machinability, high melting
point, high corrosion resistivity and high thermal conductivity.

Based on grade type,
silicon metal market is segmented into chemical grade silicon metal and
metallurgy grade silicon metal. Metallurgical grade silicon metal segment is
pure silicon metal comprising almost ninety-nine percent purity. Based on
product type, market is segmented into content 98%-99%, content 99%-99.5% and
content > 99.5%. Based on sales channel, market is segmented into direct
sales channel and distribution sales channel. In addition, based on
application, market is segmented into aluminum alloys, solar panels
(satellites, watches, electrical fences, and calculators), electronic
semiconductors (printed circuit boards, integrated circuits and transistors),
silicones/silanes, stainless steel, laboratory reagents and other applications.
The silicon metal
market is driven by rise in demand from solar industry, followed by increase in
demand for aluminum-silicon alloys, rise in production of semiconductors,
growth of automotive sector and rise in demand for portable electronics,
automobiles, and solar panels. However, high cost of production may impact the
market. Moreover, rise in demand for solar panel is a key opportunity for
market.
Based on geography,
China and India countries hold major share in silicon metal market owing to
rise in demand for automobiles, large investment opportunities and increase in
population in the countries. USA and Europe regions are expected to witness
higher growth rate due to rise in automotive industries and increase in
disposable income of consumers over the forecast period. The worldwide market
is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 4.2% over the next five years,
will reach US $8330 million in 2024, from US $6520 million in 2019.
