The global hot surface igniters size was USD 236.9 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD 446.59 million in 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period.

A silicon nitride hot surface igniter is a tool used to start a gas burner, furnace, or boiler. The most popular type of electronic ignition is a hot surface ignitor. When energy is fed through it, it behaves like the filament of a light bulb and heats up. Most of them are constructed of ceramic silicon nitride or silicon carbide. The igniter lights the gas when the gas valve opens. Gas is ignited by sparks (also known as electrical discharge) produced by a spark plug or ignition electrode. The gas is ignited by the extreme heat of the spark, which causes the ionised gas to rapidly expand into an explosion-like state. An ignitor with a heated surface operates quite differently. The gas will automatically ignite when an electric current is delivered through a thermal resistance that produces enough heat (1100–1400°C) on the surface of the igniter.

A heating element uses the Joule heating process to transform electrical energy into heat (same principle that make incandescent light bulb glows). Resistance that the electric current through the element meets causes the element to heat up. PTC ceramic components include silicon nitride ceramic hot surface ignitor: Because of their positive thermal coefficient of resistance, ceramic materials are called PTC (i.e., resistance increases upon heating). This indicates that they have a highly nonlinear thermal response, and that their resistance increases quickly over a composition-dependent threshold temperature. Because current flows when the material is cool and does not when it is too hot as a result of this behaviour, the temperature stabilises at a certain temperature (1100–1400°C).

COVID-19 Impact: Dynamics of the Market Were Affected by Pandemic-Related Instabilities

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with hot surface igniters experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 virus has had a substantial impact on global market dynamics, causing unfavourable lockout situations, temporary factory closures, a lack of full-time workers, disruptions in the supply chain, and product interruption. The situation is anticipated to change, nevertheless, as a result of expanding immunisation campaigns and a decline in COVID-19 infections. Leading industry participants are concentrating on modifying their strategy to deal with the losses caused by the pandemic developing strain on the hot surface igniter market size.

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has had a considerable effect on the world economy, and firms from all industries are finding it difficult to deal with the consequences. The pandemic caused a substantial fall in demand, which is not an anomaly in hot surface igniters market share. The epidemic has temporarily reduced demand for hot surface igniters as construction activity throughout the world slows. This will probably result in a decrease in sales for the companies who make these items. Longer term, when the world economy recovers, the pandemic is anticipated to have a more muted effect on the demand for hot surface igniters.
