Ceramics Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and post COVID-19 era. The increased investment in the development of infrastructure is notably driving the ceramics market growth, although factors such as high production cost may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the ceramics market industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Ceramics Market Driver

The increased investment in the development of infrastructure is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global ceramics market. Various end-user industries are adopting lightweight and high-performance materials for different industrial applications. These materials have energy-saving and wear-resistance properties. They are used as thermally conductive materials in high-friction applications. Aerospace and defense and automobile industries extensively use these materials. Industrial ceramics is the most preferred high-performance material due to its various properties such as high-temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance, and non-conductive nature. Research analysis on the ceramics market identifies that the increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on market growth. The adoption of ceramics will continue to increase because they are used in IR domes, electromagnetic (EM) radomes, multi-spectral windows, and sensor protection. Such factors will increase the demand for the market in focus during the forecast period.

Key Ceramics Market Trend

The increasing use of ceramics in medical applications will fuel the global ceramics market growth. High-tech ceramics have been a significant part of modern medical devices; currently, they are used as acetabular cups and femoral heads for total hip replacement, restorations and dental implants, bone scaffolds, and fillers for tissue engineering. The need for strong, tough, and stable bioinert ceramics should be met by either alumina and zirconia-based ceramics and composites, Nano-structured, or by non-oxide ceramics. Nano-structured is possibly combined with an organic phase of calcium phosphate ceramics and porous bioactive glasses, which exhibit the desired properties for tissue engineering and bone substitution. The demand for ceramics in a gradual medical approach, from tissue regeneration to conventional implants, is increasing tremendously. In addition, ceramic materials are used in a wide range of applications in the medical sector, such as bone implants, biomedical pumps, drug delivery devices, dentistry, and stimulators. The dental industry uses ceramic materials to make artificial teeth that match the original teeth. It is also used to make small, complex parts that are required in hearing-aid devices, valves, implantable heart pumps, fillers, and bone screws.

Key Ceramics Market Challenge

The high production cost is a major challenge for the global ceramics market growth. Consequently, there has been an increase in the regional requirement and supply of ceramics, which creates a demand imbalance. The fluctuation in the price of vital energy resources, such as atomic and crude oil, is affecting the manufacturer of these materials, which hinders the growth of the market. The primary use of energy in the production of ceramic is for kiln firing and in the drying of intermediates or shaped ware. All sectors of the ceramic industry require a high amount of energy, as a key part of the production process involves drying, followed by heating at temperatures ranging between 1472ºF to 3632ºF Currently, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), comprising propane and butane, natural gas, and fuel oil are primarily used for heating, while heavy fuel oil, biogas/biomass, liquefied natural gas (LNG), electricity, and solid fuels (e.g., coal, petroleum coke) can also play a role as sources of energy for burners. The ceramic industry uses a wide range of raw materials for various applications, such as high tonnages, main body forming materials, and various binders, additives, and decorative surface-applied materials.
