Silicon: United States

Report Overview

This report forecasts to 2022 and 2026 US silicon demand and production in metric tons of silicon content. Total demand is segmented by product in terms of: silicon metal; ferrosilicon; and other silicon alloys such as magnesium-ferrosilicon, silicon carbide, and silvery pig iron. Total demand is also segmented by application as follows: steel; cast irons; aluminum and other alloys; and silicones and other applications such as silanes, fumed silica, and miscellaneous chemicals.

To illustrate historical trends, total demand, total production, and the various segments are provided in annual series from 2011 to 2021.

Semiconductor and solar grades of silicon are excluded from the scope of this report. Further, silicon carbide for abrasive or refractory uses is omitted.

Key macroeconomic indicators are also provided with quantified trends. Other various topics, including profiles of pertinent leading companies, are covered in this report. A full outline of report items by page is available in the Table of Contents.
