Hexagonal boron nitride market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The hexagonal boron nitride owing to its properties such as thermal and chemical stability hexagonal boron nitride oxide is largely used for high-temperature operations in coatings and lubrication that is acting as a key determinant favoring the growth of the hexagonal boron nitride market. The growing adoption of hexagonal boron nitride-based materials for enhancement of the mechanical properties of polymer composites is the key factor supporting the growth of the market globally. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), in February 2023, a hexagonal boron nitride-based wide-bandgap semiconductor with high thermal conductivity and chemical inertness is expected to aid the development of novel devices for application under extreme conditions such as high temperatures. Hence, the market players are also focusing on introducing hexagonal boron nitride-based semiconductors which will further bolster market growth. For instance, in August 2023, AzoNano launched a nanocomposite that interacted with light and heat. Hexagonal boron nitride is widely used in a variety of products, such as coatings, lubricants, and cosmetics. It is quite soft and it is a great lubricant, and very lightweight. It is also cost-effective and very stable at room temperature and under atmospheric pressure.

Global Hexagonal Boron Nitride Market Growth, by Region 2023-2030

global hexagonal boron nitride market growth, by region

Asia-Pacific Region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the Global Hexagonal Boron Nitride Market

Among all regions, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to the presence of India and China, which boosts a high consumption volume of HBN due to the growing demand from various applications. The vast manufacturing activities in different sectors and the rapid growth in the industrial and automotive sectors pushed the country to stand among the major lubricant consumers and producers in the global landscape. For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2022, automobile production in China amounted to 2,70,20,615 units, which showed an increase of 3.3% compared to 2021.

The rapid urbanization and growth in the disposable income of its citizens gave impetus to the growth in the consumption of consumer electronics products in the region. For instance, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA), in 2022, the total production value of the electronics industry in Japan reached close to US 84,546 million. It is an increase of 10.3% compared with 2020. Therefore, increasing the production of electronics in the country is expected to create an upside demand for the hexagonal boron nitride market in the country. The key market players include Denka Company Ltd., Mizushima Ferroalloy Co., Ltd. Resonac Holdings Corp., and others.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the hexagonal boron nitride market include Saint-Gobain SA, Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Showa Denko Materials Co., Ltd., Dandong Chemical Industry Institute Co., Ltd., Grolltex, Inc., JFE Steel Corporation, and other. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market.
