The global market for Superhard Material was valued at US$ 1383 million in the year 2024 and is projected to reach a revised size of US$ 1673 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 2.8% during the forecast period.
A superhard material is a material with a hardness value exceeding 40 gigapascals (GPa) when measured by the Vickers hardness test. They are highly incompressible solids with high electron density and high bond covalency. As a result of their unique properties, these materials are of great interest in many industrial areas including, but not limited to, abrasives, polishing and cutting tools and wear-resistant and protective coatings.
Diamond is the hardest known material to date, with a Vickers hardness in the range of 70–150 GPa. Diamond demonstrates both high thermal conductivity and electrically insulating properties and much attention has been put into finding practical applications of this material. However, diamond has several limitations for mass industrial application, including its high cost and oxidation at temperatures above 806 °C. In addition, diamond dissolves in iron and forms iron carbides at high temperatures and therefore is inefficient in cutting ferrous materials including steel. Therefore, recent research of superhard materials has been focusing on compounds which would be thermally and chemically more stable than pure diamond.
Superhard materials can be generally classified into two categories: intrinsic compounds and extrinsic compounds. The intrinsic group includes diamond, cubic boron nitride (c-BN), carbon nitrides and ternary compounds such as B-N-C, which possess an innate hardness. Conversely, extrinsic materials are those that have superhardness and other mechanical properties that are determined by their microstructure rather than composition. An example of extrinsic superhard material is nanocrystalline diamond known as aggregated diamond nanorods.
Global Superhard Materials main players include Element Six, Sandvik, ILJIN Diamond, Zhongnan Diamond, Huanghe Whirlwind, Sino-Crystal Diamond, etc., totally accounting for about 75% of market. Asia-Pacific is the largest market, with a share over 53%. As for the types of products, it can be divided into Synthetic Diamond and Cubic Boron Nitride. The most common product is Synthetic Diamond, with a share over 92%. In terms of applications, it is widely used in Stone and Construction, Abrasives Category, Composite Polycrystalline Tool and Others. The most application is in Stone and Construction, with a share over 46%.
