Outlook of the global ceramic filters market
According to the research analyst at Technavio, the global ceramic filters market will grow at a steady pace and post an impressive CAGR of around 12% by 2020. One of the prime factors that will help the growth of the market will be the higher use of ceramic form filters in molten alloy processes. Applications of filters will be an integral part of the metal casting process and provides advantages in the final product filtration, foundry customers, and to the plant. Various fabricated ceramic foam filters will be used in the industry due to their low destiny, high thermal shock resistance, and adequate strength. Furthermore, efforts to construct new ceramic filters for aluminium alloy will be implemented to advance the filters and boost usage in the market. Some of the different types of filters available in the market are pyropore ceramic foam filters, partially stabilized zirconia ceramic filters, and silicon carbide filters.
Analysts predict that the ceramic filter market will grow significantly in APAC and will post a CAGR of around 13% by 2020. Emerging economies like India and China will drive the consumption of ceramic filters due to increasing activities in the energy, oil, commercial and industrial sectors. The availability of various cheap stock resources such as calcium, silica, alumina, and magnesium will urge many global players to invest in this region. The petrochemical segment will be the primary consumer of ceramic filters in this region during the forecast period.

Segmentation by type and analysis of the ceramic filters market
- Water filters
- Air filters
During 2015, water filters dominated the market by accounting for approximately 55% of the total market share, and the analyst predicts that this segment’s dominance will continue during the forecast as well. Factors such as increasing levels of toxins and pollutants in domestic water bodies and groundwater contamination will increase the demand for water filters. Ceramic filters are gaining popularity in emerging economies due to the rising demand from consumers for quality drinking and clean general purpose water.
Segmentation by application and analysis of the ceramic filters market
- Residential
- Commercial
