This report studies the Super Hard Material (Superhard Materials) market, from angles of Company, regions, product types and end industries, to analyze the status and the future.
A superhard material is a material with a hardness value exceeding 40 gigapascals (GPa) when measured by the Vickers hardness test. They are highly incompressible solids with high electron density and high bond covalency. As a result of their unique properties, these materials are of great interest in many industrial areas including, but not limited to, abrasives, polishing and cutting tools and wear-resistant and protective coatings.
Diamond is the hardest known material to date, with a Vickers hardness in the range of 70–150 GPa. Diamond demonstrates both high thermal conductivity and electrically insulating properties and much attention has been put into finding practical applications of this material. However, diamond has several limitations for mass industrial application, including its high cost and oxidation at temperatures above 800 °C. In addition, diamond dissolves in iron and forms iron carbides at high temperatures and therefore is inefficient in cutting ferrous materials including steel. Therefore, recent research of superhard materials has been focusing on compounds which would be thermally and chemically more stable than pure diamond.
Superhard materials can be generally classified into two categories: intrinsic compounds and extrinsic compounds. The intrinsic group includes diamond, cubic boron nitride (c-BN), carbon nitrides and ternary compounds such as B-N-C, which possess an innate hardness. Conversely, extrinsic materials are those that have superhardness and other mechanical properties that are determined by their microstructure rather than composition. An example of extrinsic superhard material is nanocrystalline diamond known as aggregated diamond nanorods.
The global Super Hard Material market was valued at US$ 1307.4 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 1270.8 million by 2030, witnessing a CAGR of -0.4% during the forecast period 2024-2030.
According to the report, Asia-Pacific accounts the biggest market share of the global total Super Hard Materials market, both for production and consumption. The production of Super Hard Materials in China took over 85% of total global output. However，high end products are still concentrated in Europe, North America, Japan and Korea area, due to the technology and R&D restrictions.
There are many participants in this market, Element Six, Sandvik, ILJIN Diamond, Zhongnan Diamond, Huanghe Whirlwind and some others are leading the market with about 68% market shares.
Superhard materials are widely used for Composite Polycrystalline Tool, Abrasives and Construction machineries. The downstream market is continuing to expand.
Superhard materials market is segmented into diamond, cubic boron nitride and others including boron carbon nitrides, metal borides, etc. Diamond covers over 80% of the total market. It is majorly used for grinding, cutting, and machining materials including titanium alloys, cemented carbides, ceramics, quartz stone, asphalt, glass, etc. These are also used in wire drawing dies, dressers and drill bits.
This report aims to provide a comprehensive presentation of the global market for Super Hard Material, with both quantitative and qualitative analysis, to help readers develop business/growth strategies, assess the market competitive situation, analyze their position in the current marketplace, and make informed business decisions regarding Super Hard Material.
