The global disilane market size was USD 224.3 million in 2022 & the market is expected to reach USD 643 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 12.4% during the forecast period.

Disilane is a chemical compound with the formula Si2H6. It is a colourless, flammable gas that belongs to the group of silanes, which are compounds consisting of silicon and hydrogen. Disilane is similar in structure to the more well-known compound, methane (CH4), except that two silicon atoms are present in the molecule instead of carbon. Disilane is used as a source of silicon in the production of thin films of silicon for use in the semiconductor industry. It is also used in the manufacture of certain types of ceramics and as a dopant in the production of optical fibres. Disilane has been shown to have potential as a fuel in certain types of fuel cells.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Hamper the Demand of Disilane to Market Growth

The semiconductor industry, which is a major consumer of disilane, has been impacted by the pandemic due to supply chain disruptions, production shutdowns, and reduced demand for some products. This could potentially lead to a decrease in demand for disilane, as the production of some types of electronic devices may slow down. On the other hand, there may also be increased demand for certain types of electronic devices and equipment, such as those used in healthcare and remote communication, which could increase demand for disilane in the long term.

Latest Trends

"Increasing Demand for Semiconductor Will Support Market Growth"
