Electrical & Electronics is Expected to be the Largest Advanced Ceramics Consumer Amongst All End-Use Industries
The global advanced ceramics market size is estimated to be USD 11.2 billion in 2023 and projected to reach USD 15.1 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 6.1%. Advanced ceramics are highly specialized materials offering high-temperature stability, hardness, low thermal expansion, and a variety of electrical properties. These ceramics are inorganic and non-metallic and have a high potential to resolve a wide range of material challenges such as high strength and durability in end-use industries, such as electrical & electronics, medical, transportation, environmental, chemical, and defense & security. The application of these ceramics helps in reducing energy consumption and pollution.
One of the key advantages of advanced ceramics lies in their exceptional strength and hardness. These materials exhibit superior mechanical properties, enabling them to withstand extreme conditions and resist wear and tear. Their high strength-to-weight ratio makes them ideal for applications where lightweight yet durable materials are required. For example, in aerospace engineering, advanced ceramics are used to manufacture components such as turbine blades, heat shields, and thermal insulators, enhancing the efficiency and performance of aircraft.
Another notable advantage of advanced ceramics is their exceptional heat resistance and thermal stability. These ceramics can withstand high temperatures without deformation or structural degradation, making them invaluable in applications involving extreme heat, such as in gas turbines, furnaces, and kilns. Their ability to retain their mechanical properties even at elevated temperatures allows for increased energy efficiency, extended component lifetimes, and improved overall system performance.
Alumina ceramics is the largest segment of the advanced ceramics market, by material
Alumina ceramics led the advanced ceramics market, accounting for more than quarter of the overall market in terms of value in 2022. One of the primary advantages of alumina ceramics is their outstanding mechanical strength and hardness. These ceramics exhibit excellent resistance to wear and abrasion, making them ideal for applications where components are subjected to high stress and friction. Their superior hardness allows alumina ceramics to maintain their structural integrity even in harsh environments, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability.
Monolithic ceramics accounted for the largest market share amongst other applications in the advanced ceramics market
The advanced ceramics market was dominated by the monolithic ceramics segment in 2022, in terms of value. Advanced ceramics find application in monolithic ceramics for electrical insulation purposes. Ceramics such as alumina and steatite offer high dielectric strength and low electrical conductivity, making them ideal for manufacturing insulating components. These ceramics are used in the production of electrical insulators, circuit boards, and high-voltage applications where effective electrical isolation is necessary to prevent electrical breakdown and ensure reliable operation.
Electrical & electronics is expected to be the largest advanced ceramics consumer amongst all end-use industries
Electrical & electronics is the largest end-use industry of advanced ceramics. Ceramic-based components are essential in products such as smartphones, computers, televisions, and automotive electronics. Advanced ceramics are used in manufacturing various electronics components, including capacitors, insulators, integrated circuit packages, piezoelectric components, transistor dielectrics, magnets, cathodes, superconductors, high voltage bushings, and antennas. Ceramic components possess good insulation, piezoelectric & dielectric properties, and superconductivity, which make them highly preferred in the electronics industry. Ceramic capacitors have experienced rapid growth lately due to strong demand from mobile devices and communications.
Asia Pacific is the largest and fastest growing region in advanced ceramics market
Asia Pacific was the largest market for advanced ceramics in 2022. One of the key factors driving the growth of advanced ceramics in the Asia Pacific is the rapid industrialization and urbanization observed in countries such as China, Japan, South Korea, and India. These nations have become major manufacturing hubs and are investing heavily in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and healthcare.
