MARKET DYNAMICS
Growing Demand for Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals to Drive Market Growth
Global solar PV installations reached 268 GW in 2024, driving unprecedented demand for solargrade silicon. Polysilicon consumption in PV applications grew by 23% year-over-year as governments worldwide implement aggressive renewable energy targets. China's dominance in solar manufacturing, producing over 80% of global photovoltaic components, creates concentrated demand for high-quality silicon feedstock
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Government policies promoting domestic semiconductor supply chains are generating significant opportunities in North America and Europe. The U.S. CHIPS Act has allocated $39 billion for semiconductor manufacturing incentives, while the European Chips Act commits €43 billion. These programs are driving over $200 billion in announced fab investments that will require local silicon material sources. Regional players can capitalize on this trend by establishing production partnerships with chipmakers and qualifying for government subsidies. Already, three new silicon material facilities have been announced in the U.S. since 2023, representing $6 billion in planned investments.
COMPANY MISSION
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is emerging as a promising cancer treatment modality, particularly for difficult-to-treat tumors like glioblastoma. Japan has led clinical adoption with over 200 patients treated since 2020, while China and Europe are ramping up clinical trials. The precision targeting capability of boron-10, when irradiated with low-energy neutrons, minimizes damage to healthy tissues - a significant advantage over conventional radiotherapy. Pharmaceutical companies are investing in boron-containing drug development, with several boron-10 based compounds currently in Phase II/III trials for various oncology indications.
REGIONAL MARKET OUTLOOK
America
North America remains a critical hub for silicon material production and consumption, driven by robust demand from the semiconductor and solar industries. The U.S. dominates the regional market owing to major semiconductor manufacturers like Intel and semiconductor-grade silicon suppliers such as Hemlock Semiconductor. Government programs like the CHIPS and Science Act, which allocated $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing, provide significant market momentum.
Europe
Europe's silicon material market is characterized by stringent environmental regulations and a focus on sustainable sourcing. The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the push for clean energy are driving demand for responsibly produced polysilicon, particularly for the solar PV sector. Wacker Chemie (Germany) and REC Silicon (Norway) are key players, leveraging energy-efficient production methods to align with Europe’s Green
