The global hexagonal boron nitride (HBN) market size reached US$ 732.45 Million in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 952.2 Million by 2027, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.32% during 2022-2027.

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is an isostructural layered ceramic material that is isostructural to graphite. The atomic structure of HBN consists of alternating boron and nitrogen atoms, and it is considered to be a non-toxic and ecological material. By nitriding or ammonalyzing boric oxide at elevated temperatures, hexagonal boron nitride powder can be synthesized. Despite its inert properties, hBN’s chemical precursors can form interface compounds with reactive substrates at very high temperatures, especially if the hBN is formed at high temperatures. As a highly effective insulator with outstanding thermal and mechanical properties, chemical inertness, and lubricity, it finds widespread industrial applications. Consequently, it is extensively used as a diffuser and lubricant in cosmetics formulations, skincare and makeup products, and also as a vital component in the production of electronic and electrical products.

Hexagonal Boron Nitride (HBN) Market Trends:
The market is majorly driven by the escalating demand for numerous consumer and motorized electronics, such as cellular phones, portable computing devices, and gaming systems, among the masses. This can be attributed to the growing adoption of hBN in the manufacturing of coolers and semiconductors and numerous electronic parts and components. In addition to this, a considerable rise in the sales of personal care and cosmetics products is impacting the market positively. Moreover, the widespread adoption of hBN in formulating high-temperature protective release coatings and paints is providing an impetus to the market. Besides this, the rapid product utilization in emerging applications, such as deep UV (DUV) optoelectronics, neutron detectors, and electron emitters, are creating a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors that are contributing to the market growth include rapid urbanization and industrialization, the increasing sales of smart devices and appliances, the introduction of value-added product variants, continual technological advancements and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
