The Asia-Pacific Ceramic Fiber Market was valued at USD 970.6 million in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% to reach USD 1.9 billion by 2035.
Manufacturers are increasingly adopting ceramic fibers over traditional dense refractories to reduce heat loss, optimize fuel usage, and comply with decarbonization initiatives. The region is transitioning from conventional refractory ceramic fibers (RCF) to low-bio-persistent alternatives such as alkaline earth silicate (AES) and polycrystalline wool (PCW), driven by stringent occupational health and safety regulations in countries including Japan, South Korea, and China. Energy efficiency, retrofitting of furnaces and kilns, and faster thermal cycling are key factors fueling the adoption of lightweight ceramic fiber linings, reflecting the growing emphasis on sustainable and efficient industrial operations across the region.
The refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) segment accounted for 61% share in 2025 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.1% through 2035. While the industry increasingly favors AES and PCW for new installations, high-purity RCF remains critical for legacy furnaces and chemically aggressive environments in steel, glass, and petrochemical industries. RCF with zirconia offers particularly high-temperature resistance, making it indispensable for challenging industrial conditions.
Among product forms, the blankets segment held 47% share in 2025, projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% through 2035. Blankets are preferred for furnace, kiln, and duct linings due to ease of handling, fast installation, and adaptability for retrofits. For large continuous process furnaces, modules are increasingly specified for their prefabricated, anchored systems, which enhance alignment, improve lining integrity, reduce hot spots, and enable predictable maintenance cycles.
China Ceramic Fiber Market generated USD 340.9 million in 2025. The country’s extensive industrial base in steel, cement, glass, and petrochemicals, along with ongoing efficiency upgrades and energy-saving policies, drives adoption of blankets, modules, and high-spec AES and PCW products.
Key companies operating in the Asia-Pacific Ceramic Fiber Market include Morgan Advanced Materials, Unifrax LLC, Luyang Energy-Saving Materials Co., Ltd., IBIDEN Co., Ltd., Isolite Insulating Products Co., Ltd., RATH Group, Nutec Group, Toshiba Materials Co., Ltd., Thermo Ceramic Fibres, Yeso Insulating Products Co., Ltd., HarbisonWalker International, and Hiltex Semi Products B.V. To strengthen their presence, companies in the Asia-Pacific Ceramic Fiber Market are focusing on expanding production capacities and upgrading product offerings to meet stricter safety and environmental regulations.
