According to Business Market Insights' research, the North America boron market was valued at US$ 929.85 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 1,196.20 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 3.2% from 2023 to 2031. Growth of glass & ceramics industry and surging utilization of boron nanoparticles in several industries are among the critical factors attributed to the North America boron market expansion.
Boron is a key compound used in the production of glass products such as borosilicate glass, insulation fiberglass, super-fine glass fiber, textile fiberglass, display glass, and special glass. Textile fiberglass or E-glass is used in electronics as well as for reinforcement of composites. Borates are used in the insulation of fiberglass, whereas glass wool contains 4-7% borates. In addition, boric oxide is used to manufacture high-quality handmade decorative ware. Cesium borosilicate glass is used to protect solar cells on satellites from the harmful radiation encountered in space.
The use of boric oxide in the manufacturing of neutral glass offers increased resistance to chemicals. In the production of optical glass, the use of boric oxide offers specific optical properties with respect to refractive index and light dispersion. Boron nitride is an advanced ceramic material, synthetically produced and available in powder form. It offers thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance. In the ceramics industry, boric oxide and sodium borate are used to improve strength as well as resistance to scratches and chemicals. With the growth of the glass & ceramics industry, boron has found various applications. Thus, the growth of the glass & ceramics industry drives the boron market.
On the contrary, fluctuations in boron prices hamper the growth of North America boron market.
