About Ceramic Matrix Composites
Ceramic matrix composites are composite materials produced by embedding ceramic matrices with refractory fibers. Because of their superior properties, such as heat and wear resistance, and high strength, these materials have found extensive usage in various applications in mechanical and chemical, aerospace and defense, and energy and environmental sectors. Although the potential market for these composites is high, their application and sales are limited to the aforementioned sectors only. However, due to extensive research being carrried out to develop and use ceramic matrix composites as replacements for metal alloys in 'hot-zone' structures, and as thermal interface materials in electronic equipment, their applications are expected to increase over the coming years.
The ceramic matrix composites market in the US is expected to grow at a rapid pace because of increased demand from the aviation industry. Ceramic matrix composites are used in applications that require materials that can withstand high temperatures and excessive wear. They are also being tested for potential use in various commercial and industrial applications. The US was the leading country in terms of global demand in 2014.
Technavio's analysts forecast the ceramic matrix composites market in the US to grow at a CAGR of 11.45% over the period 2014-2019.
