Global Metallic Silicon Market: An Analysis |
|
|
|
Silicon metal is used by the chemical and aluminum industries as a key input
or raw material into large number of consumer and industrial products, which
range from cosmetics, sealants, computer chips to solar panels. Worldwide
silicon metal market entered an average-growth phase in 2010, in response to
increase in production capacity and growth in demand from the end markets. It is
expected that the demand for silicon metal will continue to increase at an
annual average growth rate of approximately 10% in the next 2-3 years. China has
emerged as the major destination for silicon metal production.
The automobile and semiconductor industries, the fastest growing consumers of
polysilicon and aluminum, are expected to drive the demand of silicon metal in
years to come. Globally, the development of construction, infrastructure,
commitment to energy conservation and the increasing production of electronic
devices are expected to contribute to a continued strong demand for silicon
metal in the years to come.
The supply and production of silicon metal is largely dominated by a few global
companies such as Globe Specialty Metals, AMG, Dow Corning, Timminco Ltd, among
others. But the growth of aluminum, chemical and semiconductor industry, in
recent years, has attracted new entrants, mainly from countries in Asia and
Europe. As a result, the already established companies’ as well as new entrants
are aggressively implementing capacity expansion programs in an effort to stay
competitive.
The report titled “Global Metallic Silicon Market: An Analysis” analyzes the
global production trend and trade pattern of silicon metal. The report analyzes
the factors driving growth of the industry, the major trends in the industry and
also the major challenges faced by the industry. The report also profiles the
major players, with a brief discussion of their business, financials and major
strategies.
Further, we have predicted the future growth of the Global Metallic Silicon
Market by combining SPSS Inc.’s data integration and analysis capabilities with
our relevant findings. We employed various significant variables that have an
impact on this industry and created regression models with SPSS to determine the
future direction of the industry. |
