Innovative New Material Grades Driving Transformational Growth by Catering to Emerging Applications
This study on technical ceramics takes a deep dive into the following product types: Alumina, Zirconia, Other Oxides, Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Boron Nitride and Carbide, and other Non-oxides. The study considers the volume and revenue generated in the market from 2020 to 2030. This is an updated version of the MA84-39 study published in 2018.
Ceramic materials are crucial to the rapidly growing renewable energy and energy storage markets. The increasing adoption of ceramics over competing materials is driving revenue growth, with some ceramic materials expected to show significant growth due to their current low market penetration. Every material used in technical ceramics has a unique route to market, and each offers different opportunities for chemical companies to supply raw materials.
This study emphasizes revenue from pure ceramic powder sales. Powder producers can increase revenue by expanding into formulations, prepared bodies, or semi-finished parts, though opportunities are limited by in-house processing by fabricators. Long-term growth will be driven by innovative new material grades, particularly nano-scale powders, which cater to emerging applications such as energy storage in electric vehicles.
