炭化ケイ素(SiC)繊維の市場規模は、2024年に8億2,500万米ドルとなり同市場は、2025年から2035年にかけて28.1%のCAGRで拡大し、2035年には70億米ドルに達すると予測されています。SiC繊維産業の成長は、半導体、航空宇宙、エネルギー産業におけるSiC繊維用途の増加によって牽引されています。高い剛性、大きな引張強度、卓越した耐薬品性、過酷な条件下での熱膨張の少なさなど、その卓越した品質を考慮すると、SiC繊維はSiCセンサーやエレクトロニクスのパッケージングに理想的です。2024年2月、米国エネルギー省(DOE)の電力局(OE)は、米国製炭化ケイ素(SiC)パッケージング賞を立ち上げました。この225万米ドルのコンテストは、エネルギー貯蔵のような高電圧環境でこれらのデバイスがより効果的に機能することを可能にする、最先端のSiC半導体パッケージのプロトタイプを提案、設計、製造、テストする競技者を募るものです。
原子力用途に使用される炭化ケイ素繊維は、他の産業で使用される通常の炭化ケイ素繊維とは異なる組成と微細構造を持っています。原子力用途に使用される典型的な炭化ケイ素繊維とマトリックスは、平均粒径が数10~数100ナノメートルの多結晶β相SiCで構成されています。原子力グレードのSiC繊維の最初の2世代(第1世代、第2世代、第3世代)は、酸素、過剰炭素、SiCナノ結晶などの不純物の存在により、耐照射性が不十分です。SiC-SiC複合材料は、主にその高温での機械的安定性から、鉛冷却高速炉(LFR)、ガス冷却炉(GCR)、溶融塩炉(MSR)など、いくつかの先進的な非軽水炉案での使用が検討されています。
炭化ケイ素繊維は、電気自動車と再生可能エネルギー市場で需要が増加しています。炭化ケイ素繊維は、電気自動車のパワーエレクトロニクスやバッテリーにも使用されています。これらの繊維は、その優れた熱伝導性と非常に高い電力密度に対する優れた耐性により、より速く充電し、より効率的にエネルギーを変換します。これは、太陽エネルギーや風力エネルギーを取り込み、エネルギー貯蔵システムや超高出力トランスミッション用に設計された機器の開発におけるアプリケーションとして炭化ケイ素繊維を含みます。加えて、持続可能性の成長と、この軽量で効率的に機能する側面に対するエネルギー効率を求めるソースからの要求は、双方の要求をそれに応じてより高く成長させます。

Silicon Carbide Fibers Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Phase (Amorphous and Crystalline), by Form (Continuous, Woven, and Other Forms), by Usage (Composite and Non- Composites), and by End-User Industry (Aerospace & Defense, Energy & Power, Industrial and Others) Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Industry Overview
Silicon carbide fibers market was valued at $825 million in 2024 and is projected to reach $7 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 28.1% from 2025 to 2035. The SiC fiber industry growth is driven by the increasing SiC fiber application in the semiconductor, aerospace, and energy industries. Considering its exceptional qualities, which include high stiffness, significant tensile strength, exceptional chemical resistance, and little thermal expansion under harsh conditions, SiC fibers are ideal for the packaging of SiC sensors and electronics. In February 2024, the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Electricity (OE) launched the American-Made Silicon Carbide (SiC) Packaging Prize. This $2.25 million contest invites competitors to propose, design, build, and test state-of-the-art SiC semiconductor packaging prototypes to enable these devices to work more effectively in high-voltage environments such as energy storage.
Market Dynamics
Advancements in Nuclear-Grade SiC Fibers
SiC fibers used in nuclear applications have different compositions and microstructures than regular SiC fibers that might be used in other industries. Typical SiC fibers and matrices used in nuclear applications are composed of polycrystalline beta-phase SiC with average grain sizes between tens and hundreds of nanometers. The first two generations of nuclear-grade SiC fibers (Generation I, Generation II, and Generation III) have insufficient irradiation resistance due to the presence of oxygen, excess carbon, and impurities such as SiC nano-crystallites. SiC-SiC composites are being explored for use in several advanced non-light water reactor ideas, such as lead-cooled fast reactors (LFRs), gas-cooled reactors (GCRs), and molten salt reactors (MSRs), mainly because of their high-temperature mechanical stability.
Increasing Expansion of Electric Vehicle and Renewable Energy Sectors
Silicon carbide fibers are in increasing demand in the electric vehicle and renewable energy market. SiC fibers are also used in the power electronics and batteries of EVs. These fibers charge faster and convert energy much more efficiently owing to their superior thermal conductivity and impressive resistance to very high-power densities. This incorporates solar and wind energy and includes SiC fibers as applications in developing the energy storage system and equipment designed for the delivery of very high-power transmissions. In addition, growth in sustainability, and demands from the sources seeking energy efficiency for this lightweight use efficiently performing aspects make both side requests grow higher accordingly.
Market Segmentation
