Major Trends in the Silicon Tetrachloride Industry:

Rising consumption of silicon tetrachloride for polysilicon manufacturing is the primary driver of the silicon tetrachloride market. Hence, burgeoning demand for polysilicon is ultimately propelling the growth of the silicon tetrachloride market. Solar technology is among the fastest-growing segment in the energy and power industry. More than 90% of the solar cells are manufactured from polysilicon. Growing energy demand, environmental concerns regarding fossil fuels, rapidly declining cost of photovoltaic cells, and increasing awareness regarding green energy are some of the factors likely to boost the demand for polysilicon. Furthermore, huge investment in solar technology from several governments across the globe is further stimulates silicon tetrachloride consumption in solar applications.

Fiber optics is considered the backbone of the 21st-century’s advanced growth, especially in the communication sector. Germanium tetrachloride (GeCl4) along with silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) are the major raw materials used for optical fiber manufacturing. Optical fibers are manufactured from processes like plasma chemical vapor deposition/modified chemical vapor deposition where high purity silicon tetrachloride is required. Since the last decade, optical fiber is witnessing significant growth owing to the rapidly advancing telecom industry, deployment of 3G/4G/5G, LTE, FTTX, and growing integration of IoT are likely to propel the demand for optical fiber. The growing need for optical fiber for a high-speed broadband network is likely to create lucrative opportunities for silicon tetrachloride, especially in under developed and developing economies. The share of internet users was less than 1% of the total population in 1995 and which is increased to around 40% in 2016. The growing trend towards IoT is likely to boost the demand for fiber optics which positively affects the silicon tetrachloride. Even during the pandemic, several companies such as Apple, Samsung, and Google among others have introduced their IoT-based products at Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and Mobile World Congress. Fiber optics are likely to grow at more than 10% of CAGR during the next five years which is likely to support the growth of the silica tetrachloride during the forecast period.

Silicon tetrachloride is the colorless inorganic fuming liquid and is used to produced high purity silicon. It can be produced by using several methods and compounds including chlorine, metal silicon, and coke among others. Moreover, it can be also produced as a byproduct after treating metallurgical grade silicon to form polysilicon. For each ton of polysilicon, 3-4 tons of silicon tetrachloride is generated. Polysilicon manufacturers further process the waste silicon tetrachloride generated and reuse it after processing. This saves the energy cost and raw material cost however, required an expensive set of machinery to process waste silicon tetrachloride.
