Global Hexagonal Boron Nitride Market 2026 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2032
Description
According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Hexagonal Boron Nitride market size was valued at US$ 371 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 513 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.8% during review period.
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) is an inorganic ceramic material with a layered structure, often referred to as white graphite. White graphite is the simplest boron-nitrogen polymer. Similar to the hexagonal carbon network in graphite, nitrogen and boron in hexagonal boron nitride also form hexagonal network layers that overlap to form crystals. Like graphite, the crystals exhibit diamagnetic properties and high anisotropy, and their crystal parameters are quite similar. Boron nitride is mainly used in refractory materials, semiconductor solid-phase doping sources, structural materials for nuclear reactors, neutron-protected packaging materials, rocket engine components, high-temperature lubricants, and mold release agents. In 2024, global Hexagonal boron nitride production reached approximately 6027 MT, with an average global market price of around K US$ 58.02 per unit. Global production capacity in 2024 was approximately 7700 MT. For h-BN, upstream inputs include boron sources (boric acid/boron oxide), nitrogen sources (NH₃/N₂, electronics-grade), and vapor precursors (ammonia-borane/borazine/BCl₃); key upstream suppliers: U.S. Borax (Rio Tinto), Air Liquide, Linde. Downstream applications: thermal management (electrically-insulating TIM fillers), electrical insulation/semiconductor tooling, release & high-temperature coatings, cosmetics (slip/mattifying); representative customers: Henkel Bergquist® TIM, 3M BN cooling fillers, semiconductor users of Denka BN shapes, and cosmetic brands.
As a high-performance ceramic material, hexagonal boron nitride is widely used in the electronics, automotive, and aerospace industries due to its excellent thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and chemical stability. With the increasing performance of electronic devices, the demand for materials with high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation is constantly growing, driving the growth of the hexagonal boron nitride market. Furthermore, the automotive industry's demand for high-temperature lubrication and thermal management materials has also brought new growth points to the market. With advancements in production technology and reductions in costs, hexagonal boron nitride is expected to enter more niche markets, such as high-temperature lubrication, electronic packaging, and aerospace.
