Silicon Carbide (SiC) fibers represent a class of advanced ceramic materials primarily composed of silicon carbide molecules, known for their exceptional performance characteristics. The increasing demand for SiC fibers is attributed to their distinctive properties, including low density, lightweight, high stiffness, superior chemical resistance, remarkable tensile strength, and tolerance to high temperatures.
The global market for SiC fibers is categorized based on applications into aerospace, energy and power, industrial, among others, with the aerospace sector currently leading the market. This trend is anticipated to persist in the foreseeable future. SiC fibers find extensive application in aerospace engine components such as turbine blades, nozzles, and combustor liners. The market value of SiC fibers within the aerospace industry was estimated at USD 343 million in 2023, and it is projected to escalate to USD 1,112 million by 2029, achieving a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.3% during the forecast period.
Continuous fibers are increasingly preferred by end-users due to their high strength, resistance to heat and corrosion, especially under conditions exceeding 1000°C. These fibers are commonly used alongside ceramic fiber, carbon fiber, polymeric materials, and reinforced metals. The market for continuous SiC fibers was valued at USD 357 million in 2023, with projections indicating growth to USD 1,164 million by 2029, registering a CAGR of 18.4% throughout the forecast period.
In 2023, North America held the largest market share, a trend that is expected to continue until 2029. The region's dominance can be attributed to the strong presence of major SiC fiber manufacturers such as General Electric Company, American Elements, COI Ceramics, and Free Form Fibers. These companies are responding to the growing demand from the aerospace, energy, and power industries. Furthermore, the increase in production activities related to aerospace components significantly contributes to the growth of the SiC fiber market in this region. The North American market for SiC fibers was estimated at USD 224 million in 2023, and it is forecasted to reach USD 723 million by 2029, with a CAGR of 18.2% during the forecast period.
