Description

The global Silicon Carbide Rods market size is predicted to grow from US$ 246 million in 2025 to US$ 380 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2026 to 2032.

Silicon carbide rods are tubular or rod-shaped heating elements made from high-purity silicon carbide (SiC) as the main raw material and sintered at high temperatures. They have advantages such as high operating temperature (up to 1600℃), strong oxidation resistance, stable resistance, and long life. They are widely used as core heating elements in ceramics, glass, metallurgy, semiconductors, and laboratory high-temperature electric furnaces. Their working principle is to generate Joule heat in silicon carbide by passing electricity, and a silicon dioxide protective film is generated on the surface under an oxidizing atmosphere, thereby achieving long-term stable operation. Silicon carbide (SiC) heating elements are tubular electric heating elements made primarily from silicon carbide through high-temperature sintering. They are widely used in high-temperature electric furnaces in industries such as ceramics, glass, semiconductors, and lithium battery materials. The upstream of the industry chain includes raw materials such as petroleum coke and quartz sand, as well as energy-intensive sintering equipment. The midstream requires mastering core technologies in formulation, molding, and recrystallization sintering. The downstream covers industrial kiln manufacturers and high-end manufacturing sectors such as new energy and electronics. As of 2025, the average price of domestically produced SiC heating elements was ¥80–1,200 per piece (depending on specifications and performance), while imported products could be 2–4 times more expensive. The overall industry gross profit margin was between 25% and 55%, with higher gross profit margins for high-end applications due to technological barriers and customized requirements. Driven by the "dual carbon" (silicon carbide and silicon carbide) and advanced manufacturing, market demand continued to grow steadily. In 2024, global SiC heating element production was approximately 5,255,000 pieces, with a global average market price of approximately US$45 per piece. Global SiC heating element production capacity was approximately 7,000,000 pieces in 2024.
