In 2018, the size of the global boron carbide market was US$ 136.7 million. The demand for boron carbide is anticipated to increase to US$ 256.8 million by 2033. The boron carbide market is expected to display a CAGR of 5.3% from 2023 to 2033. In 2023, its value is projected to increase to US$ 153.9 million.
The extraordinary physical properties of boron carbide are set to drive its demand in laser drilling and cutting applications primarily. Boron carbide is a highly sought-after product due to its incredible hardness, which is only surpassed by diamond, and its extraordinary endurance to high temperatures. These properties are crucial for precision machining, high-tech industries and research applications where extreme conditions are expected.

Industries seeking accurate and effective material processing prefer boron carbide nozzles and focusing lenses since they can withstand the tremendous heat produced by strong lasers during laser cutting. In industries such as electronics and aerospace, where precise and clean drilling and cutting procedures are required, its hardness ensures life and lowers the frequency of replacements in laser systems.
Boron carbide is still in great demand as these high-tech industries develop. It is essential for use in contemporary production and research facilities to retain structural integrity under harsh conditions. The unique hardness and heat resistance combination is estimated to position boron carbide as an indispensable material in the laser cutting and drilling industry.

For instance,
- Researchers from the University of Florida (UF) used Expanse at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at UC San Diego in September 2023. They sought to investigate the atomic-level effects of stress on the useful but naturally brittle boron carbide. Expanse-powered molecular dynamics simulations were utilized by the researchers to demonstrate bond breakdown caused by stretching or an artificial tensile shock. The results were reported in the European Journal of Mechanics – A/Solids.
- In April 2023, Flex B4C, a cutting-edge boron carbide-enhanced filament, was introduced by Nanovia, a manufacturer of distinctive 3D printing filaments based in France. In the nuclear energy sector, it can be used for neuron shielding. Nanovia Flex B4C is conceptually equivalent to Nanovia’s PLA XRS, which filters X-rays using barium sulfate. The company has been using B4C on ceramic filament in the Cr range that is intended for sintering for an extended period.
