The global sialon market size was USD 910.6 million in 2021. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with sialon experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. As per our research, the market is projected to touch USD 1,274.3 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period.  The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Sialon is a specific class of high temperature refractory materials that have high strength and high temperature. They are known for their properties such as thermal shock resistance, high temperature, creep resistance, fracture toughness, and moderate wear resistance. They have extreme corrosion resistance and are used in the chemical industry. It is formed by combining silicon nitride, alumina, alumina nitride, yttrium, and silica. They can be made into different shapes at a very high temperature of 1200 degree centigrade.   

The growing demand for sialon from the chemical industry is attributed to its properties. They are also used in the metal industry in non-ferrous molten metals especially aluminum and alloys such as metal feed tubes for burner, aluminum die casting, immersion, injector, and heater tubes for non-ferrous metals. The demand for sialon is also derived from chemical and process industries and oil & gas industries owing to its chemical stability and corrosion and wear resistance properties.

COVID-19 Impact: Restriction on Various Industries to Hamper Market Growth

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are already being felt on a global level, the global sialon market was significantly influenced.
