The rapid uptake of the market during the first half of the forecast period is attributed to massive demand from electronics, automotive, construction & other end use industries.
Demand for silicon tetrachloride is also anticipated to rise due to its increase in application in the production of polysilicon via trichlorosilane as well as in the production of optical fibres preforms.
Tetrachlorosilane is used in a wide range of industries, which has led to an increase in both its uses and consumption. Globally, the use of solar cells has increased significantly, as a result of people's rising need for electricity and power. This is expected to increase demand for polysilicon and open up new markets for silicon tetrachloride.
Sales of silicon tetrachloride increased at a 3.6% CAGR, between 2012 and 2021, with increasing applications in various sectors. The covid-19 epidemic, which reduced demand for tetrachlorosilane, had an influence on sales projections in 2020 and 2021, although growth is expected to resume in the second half of 2021. The key growth driver boosting the demand of silicon tetrachloride is its use in polysilicon manufacture.
As a result, the growing demand for polysilicon all over the globe is enhancing the consumption rate of silicon tetrachloride. High purity Silicon tetrachloride is a major raw material used for the manufacturing of optic cable preform, which is used in the manufacturing of optic cables, growing demand of optic cables are expected tobenefit the consumption of the tetrachloride compound.
Due to the diverse applications of tetrachlorosilane in various sectors, its apllications as well as consumption has increased. Use of solar cells across the globe has witnessed a significant growth mainly due to their growing demand for power and electricity, this is estimated to benefit the polysilicon consumption providing significant growth opportunities for silicon tetrachloride.

Fumed silica is used as an anti-sedimentation agent in production of silicones. Fumed silica improves storage process ability, stability, has a wide hardness range, offers chemical weather resistance and other beneficial electrical properties. Owing to these features, the demand for fumed silica is increasing in silicone rubber applications.
Silicone rubber is widely used in a variety of industries, including construction, electronics, sealants, and adhesives. Furthermore, due to its conductive properties, silicone rubber is becoming more popular in the automotive industry, where its use indirectly improves fuel efficiency and reduces emissions.
The expansion of the electronics, automobile, and construction sectors is expected to boost the growth of the market. The silicone rubber segment is forecasted to reach a market value of US$ 96.5 Mn by 2027 end.
The Covid-19 pandemic has impacted practically all industries due to logistical challenges caused by Covid norms and regulations. The rapid spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the silicon tetrachloride business. COVID-19 has caused supply chain disruptions in major silicon tetrachloride users and producers such as, China, the United States, India and Europe.
Solar technology and fiber optics, two major end users of silicon tetrachloride, are also among the worst-affected sectors, thus exacerbating the impact on the silicon tetrachloride industry. However, the market is expected to expand during the forecast period as a result of its applications in various segments, which are expected to have a positive impact on the market.

As per FMI, the U.S. is projected to account for a fair share in the global market of silicon tetrachloride. The U.S. is estimated to dominate the North American market accounting for a significant value share in term of consumption. Strong development in the chemical industries and electronic sector are expected to remain key factors for the market growth in the country.
North America is also expected to be a key market, owing primarily to the presence of skilled professionals and the early adoption of cutting-edge communication technologies. The presence of major companies in the North American region, particularly in the United States, is also expected to boost demand for silicon tetrachloride over the forecasted time period. U.S. is expected to reach about US$ 540.5 Mn by the year 2027.
China is projected to create an incremental business opportunity of about US$ 290.0 Mn during the period of 2022 and 2027. Over the forecast period, China is expected to dominate the global silicon tetrachloride sector with a significant value share in terms of consumption. Increasing demand for silicon tetrachloride in the manufacturing of polysilicon through trichlorosilane, as well as in optic fiber preform manufacturing, is expected to boost the demand for the silicon tetrachloride over the forecast period.
China is expected to account for a key share in the global market, owing to high demand for fibre optics, widespread smartphone use, and population growth. Furthermore, the launch of 5G connectivity and the availability of a large labour force aided China's high market share.
However, the Chinese government has enforced rules and regulations on the production of silicon tetrachloride, which is manufactured as a byproduct during the polysilicon manufacturing process. This could have a negative impact on the growth of the silicon tetrachloride market over the forecast period.
The chemical intermediate segment is expected to grow at a prominent value of 4.6% CAGR, over the forecast period of 2022 to 2027. Trichlorosilane is used in the production of polysilicon, which is then used in the solar and electronics industries. The significant growth of the solar and electronics industries, increased government and industrial investments in the power sector, and new solar energy projects around the world are expected to drive up demand for polysilicon.
As a result, the demand for trichlorosilane is increasing, which will lead to an increase in silicon tetrachloride consumption. Furthermore, the production of silicon tetrachloride as a byproduct of polysilicon manufacturing, as well as its continuous recycling, aid in the maintenance of a continuous supply of silicon tetrachloride for the manufacture of trichlorosilane. Moreover, rising demand for trichlorosilane in silane coupling agent applications will propel the silicon tetrachloride market.
Fumed silica is also a key application of a chemical intermediate. Fumed silica is used in a variety of industries, including the production of paint, silicone rubber, ink, and chemical mechanical polishing. As a result, increased demand for fumed silica will drive the sales of silicon tetrachloride.
The optic fiber preform segment is projected to create an absolute dollar opportunity of more than US$ 55.3 Mn during the period of 2022 to 2027. Highly pure silicon tetrachloride is a key raw material for the production of optic cable preforms, which are used in the production of optic cables. The emerging field of Internet of Things (IOT), 4G, 5G, LTE, and FFTx, among other technologies, has resulted in a significant increase in demand for optic cables around the world in recent years.
The growing optic cable market, especially in Asia Pacific, will help to boost the demand for silicon tetrachloride over the forecast period. Rise in the demand of tablets, smartphones, and other communication devices are also expected to propel the growth of the market. These optic fibers are also being used in military, aerospace, oil & gas and other industries.
In order to address the growing demand for silicon tetrachloride, producers have shifted their focus to rising countries in recent years. Several major players are also concentrating on boosting their production capabilities, R&D investments, collaborations, and mergers and acquisitions. For Instance,
