The increasing infrastructure development is expected to drive the growth of the ceramic fiber cloth market going forward. Infrastructure development refers to the construction and enhancement of essential facilities such as transportation, utilities, and communication systems that support economic growth and societal well-being. This development is fueled by the growing need to support urbanization and industrialization, as expanding cities and industries require improved transportation networks, energy systems, and utilities to sustain economic growth and improve living standards. Ceramic fiber cloth supports infrastructure projects by providing high-temperature insulation and fire protection for industrial equipment, pipelines, and construction materials, ensuring safety, energy efficiency, and durability in large-scale projects such as power plants, refineries, and commercial buildings. For example, in October 2024, according to Infrastructure Partnerships Australia, Australian general government infrastructure funding across all states and territories totaled USD 176 billion (A$270.4 billion) over the four years to FY 2027-28, marking an increase of USD 9.04 billion (A$13.8 billion) from the FY 2023-24 period. Therefore, rising infrastructure development is driving the ceramic fiber cloth market.

The growing demand in the automotive industry is expected to propel the ceramic fiber cloth market going forward. The automotive industry encompasses the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, along with the supporting services and supply chains that promote transportation innovation, safety, and sustainability worldwide. This demand is driven by an increasing reliance on personal and commercial transportation that enhances mobility, convenience, and economic productivity. Ceramic fiber cloth supports the automotive sector by providing high-temperature insulation and heat protection for components such as exhaust systems, engines, and braking mechanisms, enhancing vehicle efficiency, durability, and safety under extreme operating conditions. For instance, in December 2024, according to Eurostat, renewable energy represented 24.5% of total energy consumption in the EU in 2023, up from 23% in 2022. Therefore, the growing automotive demand is boosting the ceramic fiber cloth market.

Key companies operating in the ceramic fiber cloth market are focusing on developing innovative solutions such as ceramic matrix composite (CMC) reinforcement to enhance thermal resistance, mechanical strength, and durability for advanced industrial applications. Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) reinforcement involves embedding ceramic fibers within a ceramic matrix to improve toughness, thermal stability, and resistance to cracking under high temperatures or mechanical stress. For example, in December 2024, RATH Group, an Australia-based manufacturing company, successfully started a production plant for innovative oxide ceramic continuous fibers at its Mönchengladbach site in Germany. These fibers combine high strength and flexibility at temperatures up to 1200°C, with outstanding thermal shock resistance and dimensional stability. They are vital for reinforcing advanced composites in demanding applications across energy, aerospace, and automotive sectors, enabling lightweight, damage-tolerant, and long-lasting materials. As the first European supplier, RATH enhances supply security and supports the development of high-performance, energy-efficient technologies for the future.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The quick escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting strain in trade relations in spring 2025 are considerably influencing the Paper, Plastics, Rubber, Wood And Textile sector by inflating costs for imported pulp, resin, synthetic rubber, lumber, and cotton key inputs with limited domestic substitutes. Packaging manufacturers, for example, now pay more for plastic films and corrugated materials, squeezing margins in an already price-sensitive market. Textile producers face similar challenges, as tariffs on imported yarns and dyes compound pressures from rising labor costs. Some firms are shifting to recycled materials or biodegradable alternatives, while others consolidate suppliers to negotiate bulk discounts.
