Boron Market Analysis
Boron oxide is used in the glass industry for the manufacturing of borosilicate glass, known for its low thermal expansion. Boron nitride is an advanced ceramic material, synthetically produced and available in powder form. It offers thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance. Boron is a key micronutrient with a wide scope of applications in the agrochemical industry, as it promotes the growth and health of plants. In 2023, Markab Capital invested US$ 180 million to build a civil aircraft manufacturing facility in the UAE by signing an agreement with Super Jet International. The first production phase included an annual production capacity of 10–15 aircraft. Such investments in the development of lightweight aircraft structures are likely to create numerous opportunities for the market players in the coming years.
Boron Market Overview
Borates are naturally occurring minerals containing boron and have several important characteristics such as metabolizing, bleaching, buffering, dispersing, and vitrifying properties. Boron mining involves a series of steps for the extraction of low-cost and high-grade minerals. Boron derivatives such as borax, boric acid, boron carbide, and boron oxide are used across several end-use industries. Boric acid or hydrogen borate is used in antiseptics, insecticides, flame retardants, glass, and ceramics. Its properties enhance the durability, heat resistance, and clarity of glass and ceramics. Fertilizer manufacturers incorporate boron into products to improve crop yields. Boron compounds are used in the production of household and industrial cleaning products due to their whitening and stain-removing properties. Borax naturally occurs in evaporite deposits extracted through surface as well as underground mining.

Boron Market Drivers and Opportunities
Rapid Growth of Glass & Ceramics Industry
Borates are used in the insulation of fiberglass, whereas glass wool contains 4–7% borates. In addition, boric oxide is used to manufacture high-quality handmade decorative ware. A cesium borosilicate glass is used to protect solar cells on satellites from the harmful radiation encountered in space. The rapid development of thin film transistor liquid crystal displays (TFT LCD) has been enhanced by the use of specialized borosilicate glasses. Borates are used in the production of sealed headlights, lamp covers, halogen bulbs and fluorescent tubes, designed for high electrical resistance, strength, chemical durability, and thermal shock resistance. Thus, the growth of the glass & ceramics industry is one of the major drivers of the boron market
Growing Investments in Aerospace & Defense Industry
Boron fibers and boron carbide are high-strength and low-weight materials used in aerospace structures. The growing use of lightweight materials in the aerospace & defense industries is driving the demand for boron. Boron compounds such as boron nitride can withstand high temperatures, thereby having applications in heat shields, thermal protection systems, and other high-temperature applications. Boron is used as a dopant in semiconductors to improve the properties of advanced electronics utilized in the aerospace & defense industry. The aerospace manufacturing industry in Canada significantly produces aircraft components for commercial use, supported by funding from the government. According to the report by the International Trade Association, the government of Canada provided support of US$ 1.36 billion to the aerospace sector during 2021–2022 through the Federal Strategic Innovation Fund. Thus, the rising investments in the aerospace & defense industry are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the boron market growth during the forecast period.
