Electronic ceramics, also called a electroceramics, are a subclass of advanced ceramic materials. Dielectrics, piezoelectric, and semiconducting & superconducting ceramics are the various types of electroceramics available in the market. They exhibit unique electronic, optical, and electro-magnetic properties, thus making them ideal in several specific electronic applications such as consumer electronics, transportation, power engineering, medicine & healthcare, and communication. Titanate, zirconia, alumina, silica, and niobates are some of the major electroceramic materials. Products made from electroceramics include various types of ceramic capacitors, transducers, sensing elements, timing devices, radio-frequency identification tags (RFIDs), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), noise suppression filters, ferroelectric RAM (FRAM), and LEDs. Every electronic device or electronic system incorporates some sort of electroceramic components. For instance, a typical smartphone has more than 700 electroceramic components.
The growth of the global electronic ceramics market is driven by the advancements in the semiconductor and electronics industry. The global smartphone market is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period, owing to increase in availability of low-segment models and low cost of internet. MEMS and sensors are indispensable components in a smartphone that is responsible for various features. In addition, newer technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G connectivity demand newer infrastructure that involves development of new grades of electroceramics. Owing to its nonvolatile and low-power consumption advantage over conventional memory storage device, FRAMs are expected to witness strong demand during the forecast period. The process of producing electroceramic components from electroceramic powder is capital-intensive and a technology-based sector. Hence, the forward integration of electroceramics is majorly done by few consolidated players. The development of new electroceramics involves huge R&D expenditure and intensive in-house research capabilities. Electroceramics play a crucial and indispensable role in the electronics and semiconductor industry. The development of electric vehicles has opened a new application area for electroceramics, where they are used in various sensors and power electronics. Furthermore, the development of ceramic solid-state battery technology has the potential to offer remunerative opportunities for the expansion of the market. Ceramic solid-state battery technology offers all the benefits associated with a MLCC. They do not contain liquid electrolyte, thus eliminating the risk of leakage or explosion.
