Increasing use of silicon carbide (SiC) in military applications is expected to boost demand over the forecast period. Regulatory amendments such as the U.S. Defense Protection Act for advancement and establishment of SiC for use in military operations will also benefit the market. In addition, increasing use of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide in disc brakes is expected to propel its demand in the automotive sector.

The European Commission's announcement of USD 122.1 billion investment for development of semiconductors is expected to facilitate many investors to invest in the manufacturing of semiconductors. Therefore, demand for SiC is expected to grow in semiconductor applications as well.

The Chinese government's restriction on export of silicon as a raw material is expected to tighten the supply of silicon as a raw material for the manufacturing of silicon carbide in other countries. This tightened supply is expected to be compensated by surging domestic production of silicon in various countries such as U.S., France, Norway, and Brazil. Domestic availability of raw material in these countries is expected to ensure continuous supply of silicon for production of SiC.

Silicon carbide is used as a raw material for refractories on account of its high temperature resistance. These refractory materials are used in linings of furnaces, kilns, furnaces, and reactors, which cater to numerous industries such as aluminum, steel, cast iron, and metal. Surging demand from the metal and cement industry is expected to drive the market.
