Increased demand from industrial gas turbine (IGT) manufacturers is notably driving the market growth. The increased demand from IGT manufacturers is expected to be one of the major driving forces for the market growth and trends of the market. IGT parts are constantly subjected to extreme mechanical loads at high temperatures, resulting in the reduction of their thermal efficiency and longevity. Thermal spray ceramic coating technology is used to prevent these components from resulting in corrosion and erosion by providing them with an overlay barrier coating. Additionally, the technology is used to provide components with thermal barrier protection, which helps them sustain their thermal efficiency at extreme temperatures.
Moreover, thermal barrier protection is necessary for IGT, as overlay coatings and component materials are unable to function efficiently at extreme temperatures. IGT is increasingly being used in aerospace, defense, automotive, transportation, and industrial industries for power generation. Thus, growing end-user industries and increasing usage of IGT in end-user industries are expected to increase the use of ceramic coating, which, in turn, is anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Increasing use of HVOF in aerospace and automotive industries is an emerging trend shaping the market growth. Owing to the ability to produce dense carbide-based ceramic coating without degeneration, the HVOF process is increasingly used to replace other processes in the aerospace and automotive segment in the global ceramic coatings market. As the HVOF process is carried out at lower temperatures in comparison with other thermal spray processes, it is ideal for providing thermal barriers to large industrial workpieces.
Moreover, with the efficiency of this process being dependent on the kinetic energy of the powder particles instead of the temperature, it is cheaper and easier to use. Additionally, owing to the low life cycle cost and the use of titanium dioxide (titania), the fastest-growing product type in the market for the HVOF process, this trend is expected to have a major positive impact on the market during the forecast period.
Constraints regarding thermal spray ceramic coating durability are a significant challenge hindering the market growth. The lack of data about the durability and efficient working period of the thermal spray ceramic coating technology-based thermal barriers is one of the challenges encountered by manufacturers in the global ceramic coatings market in recent years. Consumers, especially the manufacturers of engines and engine components across the world, are reluctant to use thermal spray ceramic coating-based thermal protection because of the inability of the technology providers to produce data regarding the effect of thermomechanical fatigue on the longevity of the thermal spray ceramic coating.
Additionally, the inability of providers to simulate the effects of various mechanical factors acting during service conditions on these thermal spray ceramic coatings is displeasing consumers. Such factors may restrain the use of thermal spray ceramic coating in end users products, which may restrict the growth of the global ceramic coatings market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the thermal spray segment will be significant during the forecast period. Thermal spray ceramic coating is mostly used for wear resistance, friction resistance, thermal protection, and corrosion resistance. The most commonly used materials are alumina, alumina-magnesia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and zirconia-based compositions. The global market for ceramic coatings is expanding owing to the high demand for thermally protected vehicle engines.

The thermal spray segment was the largest and was valued at USD 5.22 billion in 2018. Engine components, including combustion chambers, cylinders, valves, and pistons, are required to be protected with this type of coating. Thermally sprayed ceramic coatings are highly cost-effective and are generally used to increase product life and decrease maintenance costs. Wire arc, flame, and plasma are the three heat sources that are most commonly used for thermal spray ceramic coatings. The global market for ceramic coatings is expected to be driven by growth in the aerospace, marine, automotive, mining equipment, power generation, textile, orthopedics, petrochemicals, and pulp and paper industries. It is expected to gain from the increase in the number of innovations concerning the efficiency and overall cost of thermal spray ceramic coating technology-based products. Thereby propelling the growth of the thermal spray segment of the global ceramic coatings market during the forecast period.
Based on the product, the market has been segmented into oxides, carbides, nitrides, and others. The oxides?segment will account for the largest share of this segment. Oxides are expected to dominate the global ceramic coatings market with the major share of the market due to their high availability and extensive application areas. Generally, metallic coatings go through oxidation during thermal spraying in the air. Products of oxidation are generally encapsulated within the coating. Most oxides are harder than the parent metal. High oxide coatings provide wear resistance. Oxides in coatings can be prone to corrosion, strength, and machinability properties. Growing demand for wash-proof coatings from the automotive and aerospace industries is expected to drive the oxides segment of the market during the forecast period.
