The high-purity silicon nitride industry refers to an industrial field that focuses on the research and development, production, and sales of silicon nitride materials with a purity of over 99.99%. Silicon nitride, as an important structural ceramic material, has excellent properties such as high hardness, stable structure, low thermal expansion coefficient, oxidation resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Market analysis of high-purity silicon nitride industry
High purity silicon nitride grinding balls have shown strong application potential in the photovoltaic industry due to their high hardness, wear resistance, cleanliness, and corrosion resistance. Its hardness is close to that of steel, while also possessing a certain toughness, which enables the silicon nitride grinding ball to maintain stable grinding effect during high-speed grinding and reduce damage rate. In addition, silicon nitride grinding balls also have good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties, which can maintain excellent performance in high temperature environments and effectively extend the service life of equipment.
According to data released by the China Research Institute Puhua Industry Research Institute, the market size of high-purity silicon nitride in China reached 246 million yuan in 2024 and is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. By the end of 2029, the market size is expected to reach 1.887 billion yuan, demonstrating strong growth potential.
From historical data, the market size of high-purity silicon nitride shows a steady growth trend. For example, between 2021 and 2023, the market size of high-purity silicon nitride in China has increased from 169 million yuan to 246 million yuan. It is expected that the total output value of the high-purity silicon nitride industry will increase from 341 million yuan to 1.975 billion yuan from 2024 to 2029.

The competition between enterprises is mainly reflected in technological innovation, product quality, production costs, and marketing. In order to occupy a favorable position, enterprises need to continuously increase their research and development investment and improve their independent innovation capabilities.
From a production perspective, North America and Europe are the main production regions for high-purity silicon nitride, holding a significant market share. At the consumer level, certain regions may be the world's largest consumer markets with significant market share. However, it is expected that in the coming years, the growth rate of certain regions may exceed that of others, thereby changing the distribution pattern of the global market.
