Vast Demands for Solar-grade Silicon Metals Open New Avenues
Rising automotive sales in numerous Asian countries over the past few years have led to the fuel consumption of silicon metals. Producers of silicon-based aluminum alloys have been able to meet the rising consumption of lightweight and high-strength materials for vehicles bodies, This has spurred the demands for silicon metal. The automotive industry has thus emerged out one of the key revenue contributors of the silicon metal market.
Another sizable growth potential has come from the strides made in solar energy generation. High-purity polycrystalline silicon or polysilicon, solar-grade silicon metal, has been increasingly being consumed in making solar cells. Chemical companies have been benefitting from various processes in making solar-grade silicon metal, thereby catalyzing the prospects of the silicon metal market. Growing inclination of governments to transition to renewable energy products has led them to offer several stimulus to the solar energy production, immensely benefitting manufacturers of silicon cells.
Meanwhile, the consumptions of electronics grade silicon in the semiconductor industry has helped catalyze large chunks of revenue generation. The application segment is expected to rise at a prominent CAGR during 2019 – 2027”, notes observers.
