Global Silicon Carbide Fibers Market is valued at approximately USD 0.53 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 18.6% over the forecast period 2023-2030. SiC (silicon carbide) fiber refers to a type of composite material made primarily of silicon carbide molecules. It is a high-performance fiber known for its exceptional mechanical properties, including high stiffness, tensile strength, and excellent resistance to chemicals. They are typically manufactured using methods such as the Yajima process, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), or laser-driven chemical vapor deposition (LCVD). The global SiC fiber market is experiencing significant growth driven by increased demand in the aerospace sector and the adoption of SiC fiber in the energy and power industry. The utilization of silicon carbide-based fibers in Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) is a key factor contributing to market expansion. The rising demand for SiC fibers has attracted the attention of manufacturers and investors, leading to increased research and development efforts to enhance their effectiveness in high-temperature environments.
Moreover, the growing aerospace industry is playing a significant role in supporting the growth of the Silicon Carbide (SiC) Fibers Market. The aerospace industry has a constant demand for lightweight and high-strength materials to improve fuel efficiency and enhance overall performance. Silicon carbide fibers offer a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications such as aircraft structures, engine components, and rocket nozzles. Their use enables manufacturers to reduce weight while maintaining structural integrity. According to the Aerospace Industries Association, in 2022, the Aerospace industry generated USD 892 billion in sales, showing a 2.1 percent increase from the previous year in 2021. Furthermore, the aerospace and defence industries contributed USD 391 billion to the US economy, representing 1.7 percent of total nominal GDP. Also, according to the IBEF in 2020, the Indian aerospace and defence (A&D) market is projected to reach USD 70 billion by 2030. Additionally, increasing technological advancement and the energy power sector provide lucrative opportunities to the market. However, the high manufacturing cost of Silicon Carbide Fibers stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
