Technical ceramics Market

Growing Demand For Technical Ceramics In The Aerospace And Defence Industries Drives Market Growth

Market CAGR for technical ceramics is being driven by the increasing demand in the aerospace and defence industries. Because of their superior mechanical, thermal, and electrical qualities, technical ceramics are employed in aerospace and defence applications. They are suited for use in applications such as gas turbine engines, armour systems, and missile guidance systems due to their high strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability. The growing demand for lightweight, high-performance materials in the aerospace and defence industries is likely to stimulate demand for technical ceramics in these industries.

Furthermore, the expanding trend of additive manufacturing in the aerospace and defence sectors is likely to drive technical ceramics demand in the approaching years.

Non-oxide ceramics such as silicon carbide, when dissolved in a basic oxygen furnace, are utilized as a fuel in the production of steel and have reduced emissions due to trace element levels. The rise in steel production volume as a result of rising demand from key steel end users such as construction and automotive has boosted the use of technical ceramics as raw materials in steel production. According to the World Steel Association, crude steel output for the 64 nations in June 2021 was 167.9 million tones (Mt), an 11.6% increase over June 2020.

Increased steel production will result in increased use of non-oxide ceramics as fuel in the steel manufacturing process. This will help the technical ceramics industry develop.

Aluminium oxide technical ceramics have a wide range of electrical qualities, including excellent thermal shock resistance, the ability to work at high temperatures, and exceptional chemical inertness. Semiconductors built of technical ceramics, such as oxide ceramics and non-oxide ceramics, process electricity more efficiently, and as a result, they are employed in e-vehicles and electronic equipment such as computers. The growing consumption of semiconductors by such end customers has resulted in an increase in sales volume.

According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Organization, worldwide semiconductor sector sales will hit US$555.9 billion in 2021, a 26.2% rise over the $440.4 billion total in 2020. Increased semiconductor usage will necessitate an increase in production in order to satisfy rising demand. This will have a favourable impact on the use of technical ceramics in semiconductor manufacture, which will stimulate the expansion of the technical ceramics sector.

The Global Technical Ceramics Market Industry experiences a surge in demand driven by the electronics sector. Technical ceramics are increasingly utilized in the production of capacitors, insulators, and substrates due to their excellent electrical properties and thermal stability. As the electronics industry expands, particularly in regions like Asia-Pacific, the market for technical ceramics is projected to grow significantly. In 2024, the market value is estimated at 8.61 USD Billion, reflecting the increasing reliance on advanced materials in electronic applications. This trend suggests a robust growth trajectory, with the market expected to reach 16.5 USD Billion by 2035, indicating a compound annual growth rate of 6.07% from 2025 to 2035.

By region, the study provides the market insights into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World. In 2022, the North American market accounted for the biggest revenue share of the worldwide advanced ceramics market.
