對節能解決方案的需求以及建築翻新的增加刺激了對玻璃的需求,從而提升了硼市場的未來前景。硼有助於生產具有優異化學耐久性和低熱膨脹係數的玻璃。此外,對太陽能基礎設施的投資也推動了對太陽能玻璃的需求。值得注意的是,2021年,北馬其頓政府與北馬其頓電力公司(ESM)合作,建造了一座裝置容量為300-350兆瓦的太陽能發電廠,併計劃到2024年將其擴建至400兆瓦。法國、德國和盧森堡等國已實施嚴格的法規,鼓勵光電建築補貼,進一步加速了太陽能玻璃的普及應用。
歐洲建築師擴大將太陽能玻璃融入建築設計中,以提升建築價值並符合新的法規要求。硼矽酸鹽玻璃是太陽能熱水系統的關鍵組件,也是高效能真空管集熱器(ETC)的必備材料。此外,歐洲是製藥中心,德國、法國、瑞士和義大利是主要的生產國。在製藥領域,硼因其具有保濕和調節pH值的功能而被應用於眼科護理產品中。
市場區隔
歐洲硼市場按衍生物和終端應用產業進行細分。衍生物包括硼砂、硼酸、氮化硼、碳化硼、氧化硼等,其中氮化硼在2023年佔據最大的市場。就終端應用產業而言,市場分為農業化學品、玻璃、陶瓷、洗滌劑、製藥、電氣和電子等,其中玻璃領域在2023年佔據主導地位。
市場展望
硼纖維和碳化硼是輕質高強度材料,在航太領域的應用日益廣泛。航太和國防領域對輕質材料的需求推動了硼市場的發展。氮化硼等硼化合物因其耐高溫性能而備受青睞,適用於熱防護系統和隔熱罩等應用。此外,硼也可用作半導體摻雜劑,提升航太航太和國防領域先進電子產品的性能。
歐盟於2021年啟動的「地平線歐洲」計劃,預算約1,030億美元,重點航太的研究與創新,這反映出各國政府因安全情勢日益嚴峻而加大對該領域的投資。法國擁有多家大型飛機製造商,包括空中巴士公司和達梭航空公司,這些製造商為法國蓬勃發展的航太產業做出了貢獻。
國家概況
歐洲硼市場主要由德國、法國、義大利、英國、俄羅斯等國家組成,其中德國在2023年佔據市場主導地位。德國對硼的需求主要受玻璃纖維和太陽能玻璃使用量不斷成長的驅動。絕緣級玻璃纖維通常含有5-12%的硼,有助於降低纖維化過程中的黏度。諸如Niedax集團與GIGA FIBER GmbH之間的策略合作,正在加強德國的玻璃纖維市場。此外,德國的《建築能源法》(GEG)鼓勵再生能源和提高能源效率,進一步推動了太陽能玻璃市場的發展。

The Europe boron market is projected to grow significantly, reaching approximately USD 1,406.94 million by 2031, up from USD 1,053.56 million in 2023, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during this period.
Executive Summary and Market Analysis
The glass industry stands as one of the largest manufacturing sectors in Europe, with the region being the leading global producer, accounting for about one-third of total world production, as reported by the European Commission. Europe encompasses a mix of developed and developing economies, including Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Spain, and Russia. Major glass manufacturers such as Saint-Gobain, Schott, and AGC Inc. are actively expanding and innovating their product lines to cater to the increasing demand from various end-use industries. For example, AGC Inc. invested approximately USD 10.57 million in February 2022 to enhance its laminating line at the Osterweddingen Plant in Germany, aiming to meet the growing demand for high-performance glazing that offers safety, security, and acoustic comfort.
The demand for energy-efficient solutions and the rise in building renovations have spurred the need for glass, thereby enhancing the prospects for the boron market. Boron contributes to the production of glass with superior chemical durability and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. Additionally, investments in solar power infrastructure are driving the demand for solar glass. Notably, in 2021, North Macedonia's government, in collaboration with Elektrani na Severna Makedija (ESM), constructed a solar power plant with a capacity of 300-350 MW, with plans to expand to 400 MW by 2024. Countries like France, Germany, and Luxembourg have implemented strict regulations promoting photovoltaic (PV) building incentives, further accelerating the adoption of solar glass.
Architects in Europe are increasingly incorporating solar glass into their designs to enhance building value and comply with new regulations. Borosilicate glass, a key component in solar water heating systems, is essential for efficient solar collectors known as evacuated tube collectors (ETC). Furthermore, Europe is a hub for pharmaceutical manufacturing, with Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy being the primary producers. In this sector, boron is utilized in eye care products due to its moisture-retaining properties and pH control capabilities.
Market Segmentation
The Europe boron market is segmented by derivatives and end-use industries. The derivatives include borax, boric acid, boron nitride, boron carbide, boron oxide, and others, with boron nitride holding the largest market share in 2023. In terms of end-use industries, the market is divided into agrochemicals, glass, ceramics, detergents, pharmaceuticals, electrical and electronics, and others, with the glass segment dominating in 2023.
Market Outlook
Boron fibers and boron carbide are lightweight, high-strength materials increasingly used in aerospace applications. The demand for lightweight materials in the aerospace and defense sectors is propelling the boron market. Boron compounds like boron nitride are valued for their ability to withstand high temperatures, making them suitable for applications in thermal protection systems and heat shields. Additionally, boron serves as a dopant in semiconductors, enhancing the performance of advanced electronics in aerospace and defense.
The European Union's Horizon Europe program, launched in 2021 with a budget of around USD 103 billion, emphasizes research and innovation in aerospace, reflecting increased government investments in this sector due to rising security concerns. France hosts several major aircraft manufacturers, including Airbus SE and Dassault Aviation, which contribute to the robust aerospace industry.
Country Insights
