by Market Overview:
Advanced ceramics are synthetic, non-metallic materials composed of inorganic compounds that are formed through the application of heat and other manufacturing techniques. They exhibit superior properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, stability at high temperatures, low thermal expansion, etc. compared to conventional engineering materials. Advanced ceramics are used across industries such as electronics and electrical, transportation, medical, defense and security, and industrial applications owing to their strength and durability. They find applications in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, electronics substrates, optics lenses, sensors, armours, and engine components among others.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the advanced ceramics market is its growing adoption in the electronics industry. Advanced ceramics like alumina, zirconia and ferrites find applications in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards, semiconductor packages and other electronic components due to their high strength, thermal resistance and electrical insulation. With the increasing demand for miniaturization and performance enhancements across consumer electronics and automotive electronics, the use of advanced ceramics is growing rapidly. Another major trend is the increasing R&D to develop advanced ceramics with nanoscale engineering which exhibit superior properties compared to conventional ceramics. Nations like the U.S., Germany, Japan and China are heavily investing in nanoceramics research.
The global Advanced Ceramics Market Growth is estimated to be valued at US$ 91617.4 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
