Global Silicon Tetrahydride Market Overview:
Silicon Tetrahydride is also known as Monosilane, Silane, or Silicane Hydride. It is a colorless, flammable and poisonous gas, with a strong repulsive odor. It is easily ignitable in air, reacts with oxidizing agents, and is very toxic by inhalation. It is a strong irritant to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Silicon tetrahydride is lighter than air. Under prolonged exposure to fire or heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. It is used in the production of amorphous silicon. Some of the key players profiled in the study are WD Silicone Company Limited (China), Evonik Industries (Germany), Dow Corning Corporation (United States), Momentive Performance Materials Holdings LLC (United States), Shin-Etsu Chemical Company Ltd. (Japan), Wacker Chemie AG (Germany), Gelest, Inc. (United States), Nitrochemie Aschau GmbH (Germany), Jingzhou Jianghan Fine Chemical Co. Ltd. (China), Nanjing Shuguang Chemical Group Co. Ltd. (China) and China National Bluestar (Group) Co. Ltd. (China). According to Market Analyst at AMA, the Global Silicon Tetrahydride market may see a growth rate of 4.45% and would reach the market size of USD2470.72 Million by 2024.
On the basis of geography, the market of Silicon Tetrahydride has been segmented into South America (Brazil, Argentina, Rest of South America), Asia Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (Germany, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Rest of Europe), MEA (Middle East, Africa), North America (United States, Canada, Mexico). Asia Pacific region held largest market share in the year 2018. North America on the other hand stood as second largest market due to the presence of key companies into the region and high technological advancement. If we see Market by Production Process, the sub-segment i.e. Commercial-scale routes will boost the Silicon Tetrahydride market. Additionally, the rising demand from SMEs and various industry verticals gives enough cushion to market growth.

Challenges
Major Market Developments:
In January 2017, Evonik Industries acquired the specialty additives business (Performance Materials Division) of Air Products, Inc., a U.S. based company. The acquisition amounted to USD 3.8 billion. The Air Products Performance Materials business was merged with Evonik Industries.
In October 2016, Gelest Inc. launched a new product SIVATETM A200, activated acrylate functional silane. This product was developed to use as a primer for fiber optic cladding, a coupling agent for light-cure acrylic nanocomposites, or as an adhesion promoter for high-speed UV acrylated urethane cure systems. Compared to conventional silicone tetrahydride, SIVATE A200 offers Radcure in UV, EB and Visible Light that reacts at high speed with a greater variety of substrates. It does not require moisture to initiate surface reactivity and inhibits moisture-initiated crack propagation on vitreous surfaces.
In Silicone Tetrahydride Market, it has been observed that most of the companies are upgrading or introducing innovative products to enhance their product portfolio.
