High Performance Ceramic Coatings Market Report 2026

The high performance ceramic coatings market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.65 billion in 2025 to $11.34 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of aerospace manufacturing, growth of chemical processing equipment demand, increasing use in automotive components, availability of thermal spray technologies, rising need for corrosion protection solutions.

The high performance ceramic coatings market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for lightweight high-performance materials, rising adoption in electric vehicle components, expansion of industrial energy systems, growing investments in advanced surface engineering, increasing focus on equipment lifecycle extension. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of thermal barrier coatings, rising demand for wear-resistant surfaces, expansion of ceramic coatings in aerospace components, increased use in high-temperature industrial equipment, advancements in coating deposition technologies.

The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the high-performance ceramic coatings market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are powered entirely or partially by electricity. They offer low running costs due to fewer moving parts and are environmentally friendly, requiring little or no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel). High-performance ceramic coatings play a crucial role in protecting the substrates and components of electric vehicles from rust and other damage, while also enhancing their aesthetics. For example, in January 2024, according to a report by Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, in 2023, a record 1.2 million car buyers in the United States chose electric vehicles, representing 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market, up from 5.9% in 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for electric vehicles is boosting the growth of the high-performance ceramic coatings market.

Leading companies in the high-performance ceramic coatings market are focusing on innovative products such as CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) coated carbide grades CA115P and CA125P to increase market revenues. These CVD coated carbide grades are specialized cutting tool inserts used in machining and metalworking, designed to provide extended tool life, improved cutting performance, and higher productivity. For instance, in May 2023, Kyocera Corporation, a Japan-based high-performance ceramic coatings manufacturer, launched new CVD coated carbide grades CA115P and CA125P. These inserts are designed for turning applications in industrial and automotive steel machining. The new coating technology enhances tool life through superior wear and fracture resistance. The CA115P and CA125P grades, used for external and internal turning of steel, feature a newly developed coating and carbide substrate.

In May 2023, Canlak Inc., a Canada-based coatings and finishing solutions company, acquired Ceramic Industrial Coatings for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition supports Canlak’s strategy to expand its specialist wood coating systems business and strengthens its focus on OEM wood coatings. Ceramic Industrial Coatings is a US-based company that manufactures high-quality coating products, including high-performance ceramic coatings.
