Market Dynamics
The global industrial ceramics market size was valued at $6,697.10 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $12,027.30 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.9% from 2022 to 2031. Industrial ceramics in general are characterized as inorganic, nonmetallic materials with beneficial characteristics like high strength and hardness, high melting temperatures, chemical inertness, and low thermal and electrical conductivity, but also with weak points like brittleness and sensitivity to defects.
Increase in substitution of metal and plastic products with industrial ceramic products is one of the main factors propelling the growth of the industrial ceramics market. The material's high hardness, high wear resistance, high compressive strength, massive electrical resistance, and strong corrosion resistance are all improved by industrial ceramics. Some ceramics offer added advantages by allowing for both some electrical conductivity and comparatively high heat conductivity, such as silicon carbide made by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In addition, the market is projected to experience growth as advanced ceramics are increasingly used in a variety of applications, including automotive, power & energy, and telecom.
In addition, the growing need for durable and dependable materials in the automobile industry, ceramic materials are frequently used in vehicle designs. Ceramic materials can be employed in a variety of sensors, mechanical seals, ceramic bearings, and valves because of their advantageous thermal and electrical qualities. Ceramics are more durable than plastic and more affordable than metal. Furthermore, Sensors, lights, LEDs, laser lighting systems, high-intensity discharge lamps, and antenna components of unpowered gliders all make use of electronic ceramics. The electrical & semiconductor product is also widely used in a variety of consumer electronics, such as computers, smartphones, and controllers for voice and signal transmission.
The market is also growing as lightweight, high-performance electronic ceramics are created that are tough, hard, resistant to chemicals, and have enhanced density, resilience to thermal shock, toughness, and hardness. For instance, on January 29, 2020, Murata, a giant in electrical components worldwide, extended its brand-new facility in Vantaa, Finland. About $45 million are being invested for roughly 16,000 square meters new plant. As a result, the market is expanding due to the expanding use of electronic ceramics in robotic surgical tools and diagnostic imaging equipment that need precise functionality. The market is anticipated to increase even more due to other factors, such as increased product demand in the electronics industry drives industrial ceramics market outlook.
Comparing industrial ceramics to metal and alloy, they are more expensive. The labor-intensive production process, which includes inspection, sintering, diamond grinding, and raw material processing, is the cause of the high costs. This technique demands the production of expensive stones and specialized machinery, raising the cost of the product overall. This lowers the demand for goods in a variety of sectors, such as electronics, and chemicals, restraining market growth. Additionally, alumina, silicon carbide, and many other materials are employed in production.
The demand for industrial ceramic decreased in the year 2020, owing to low demand from different regions due to lockdown imposed by the government of many countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down production of various industrial ceramic end-users, mainly owing to prolonged lockdowns in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of the industrial ceramic market significantly during the pandemic. The major demand for industrial ceramic was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including China, U.S., Germany, Italy, and the UK which was badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting demand for industrial ceramic. This is expected to lead to re-initiation of the manufacturing industry at their full-scale capacities, which is likely to help the industrial ceramics industry to recover by end of 2022.
Thermal expansion is a common issue that causes component breakage in a range of energy and power applications because of high temperatures and unpredictable environmental conditions. As a result of increased voltage and the resulting breakdown of ceramic components, this helps prevent accidents. For instance, in 2022 Ceram Tec unveiled its brand-new AIN (aluminum nitride) HP, a high-performance substrate that is ideal for power converters due to its outstanding thermal conductivity. When advanced ceramics are exposed to the same environmental conditions as other conventional alloys and metals, they exhibit much less thermal expansion. Industrial ceramics are employed in a range of end-use, including the power and energy sectors, as a result of this factor. Therefore, a product like that might stimulate the industrial ceramics market growth.
