SIALON MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global sialon market size was USD 1.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 1.69 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

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.
