According to Business Market Insights' research, the Asia Pacific boron market was valued at US$ 3,322.79 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 4,654.81 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.3% from 2023 to 2031. Growing investments in aerospace & defense industry and surge in demand from agrochemicals industry are among the critical factors attributed to the Asia Pacific boron market expansion.
Boron fibers and boron carbide are high-strength and low-weight materials used in aerospace structures. The growing use of lightweight materials in the aerospace & defense industries is driving the demand for boron. Boron compounds such as boron nitride can withstand high temperatures, thereby having applications in heat shields, thermal protection systems, and other high-temperature applications. Boron is used as a dopant in semiconductors to improve the properties of advanced electronics utilized in the aerospace & defense industry. Governments of various countries have increased investments in aerospace-related research, including defense and ballistic protection, owing to a rise in security risks and the need to enhance national border security. For instance, the Ministry of Defense (India) published a report in 2022 stating its target of increasing defense production to US$ 22 billion by 2025. The report also revealed that the government started initiatives such as Innovations for Defense Excellence and Technology Development Fund to provide financial assistance for product innovations for the Armed Forces. Thus, the rising investments in the aerospace & defense industry are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the boron market growth during the forecast period.
On the contrary, fluctuations in boron prices hampers the growth of Asia Pacific boron market.
