Dublin, Ireland -- (SBWire) -- 10/11/2018 --Market Introduction: Metallurgical grade silicon is a purified form of silicon with a purity of around 98% or higher. Silicon is mostly found in the form of silica in the earth's crust and this silica is then further reduced to metallurgical grade silicon. Metallurgical grade silicon is not highly pure due to the presence of impurities such as iron and aluminum. It has a wide application range in the semiconductor industry and is further purified for applications in the solar industry. Polysilicon, which is a key material in the manufacturing of solar cells, uses purified metallurgical grade silicon as a raw material. Polysilicon is also used in the manufacturing of various microelectronic devices.
Electronic grade polysilicon is made from a purer form of metallurgical grade silicon than that used in the manufacture of solar grade polysilicon. A more purified form of metallurgical grade silicon is also known as upgraded metallurgical grade silicon. Metallurgical grade silicon is also used in the manufacture of silicones and silanes, which find a wide range of applications in the personal care industry as well as the chemical industry.

Market Dynamics
As metallurgical grade silicon is used in the manufacture of solar cells, the growth of solar cell installations will help in boosting the sales of metallurgical grade silicon. The use of metallurgical grade silicon in the metal industry will also boost sales over the forecast period. Technological developments have also provided a platform for the growth of the electronics industry, which in turn will aid the growth of the metallurgical grade silicon market. Silicones and silanes have a wide range of applications in various industries and thus, the use of metallurgical grade silicon in the manufacture of silicones and silanes will boost the growth of the metallurgical grade silicon market. The ongoing trade war between China and the U.S. will negatively affect the sales of metallurgical grade silicon and thus, retard the market growth of metallurgical grade silicon.
