Global CBN Market: Growth Projections, Key Drivers, and Forecast (2025-2035) with a 7.8% CAGR

Cubic Boron Nitrides (CBN) are among the hardest known materials, second only to diamonds. They are synthesized under high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, resulting in exceptional hardness, thermal conductivity, chemical stability, and wear resistance. These properties make CBN invaluable in various industrial applications, particularly in machining hardened steels and superalloys. The global CBN market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 1,021.2 million in 2025 and expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8%, culminating in a market size of USD 2,164.3 million by 2035.
