Boron Market Trends and Forecast

The future of the global boron market looks promising with opportunities in the building and construction, electrical and electronics, pharmaceutical, consumer, and agriculture industries. The global boron market is expected to reach an estimated $3 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5% from 2024 to 2030. The major drivers for this market are increasing demand for glass and ceramics in the building and construction industry, growth in the pharmaceutical packaging market, and the growing consumption of micronutrient fertilizers.
Boron Market

Borate minerals like borax (sodium borate), kernite, and colemanite are the key sources of boron. These minerals are mined and processed for boron extraction. Important raw materials include sodium borate, boric acid, and other boron compounds. Minerals are crushed; they dissolve in water as a result of which it is possible to isolate boron by means of chemical reactions that take place during this process. For instance, applications could be in glass, ceramics, detergents or even micronutrients.
The price of boron depends on how pure it is or if it’s deformed and also the demand in the market for it. Boric acid and Borax are relatively cheap when compared to other boron compounds used in industries such as glass making, ceramics productions as well as agriculture among others. On the contrary however, high purity boron used in advanced sectors like semiconductors and aerospace tend to be more costly than one can imagine. The price of silicon or rare earth elements is competitive with that of Boron but can be volatile depending on supply limits and technology improvements since they are alternative materials which one can use instead of using this material.. It therefore remains cheaper than any other element due to its many uses in industries.
• Lucintel forecasts that glass will remain the largest segment, and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period. Stringent government regulations for energy efficiency and reduction in carbon emission is driving the demand for glass wool and E-glass (fiberglass) in various end use industries.
• Building and construction will remain the largest end use industry by value and volume due to increasing demand for glass wool insulation and ceramic tiles in residential and commercial buildings. Pharmaceutical is expected to witness the highest growth during the forecast period due to the growing preference for borosilicate glass in the pharmaceutical packaging industry.
• APAC is projected to remain the largest region, and it is also expected to witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to growth in building and construction activities and increasing healthcare expenditure.
