Increasing Application of HTCC in Power Electronics Signals Lucrative Growth Prospects in Energy Sector

Posted by Jack Martin on November 8th, 2023

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC) are ceramics that are fired at low temperatures (below 900 °C). Ceramic powder, organic binder, glass frit, and other additives are used to make it. Medical devices, automotive electronics, and electrical components are among the many applications for LTCCs. Electrical insulation, thermal insulation, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance are all advantages of LTCCs.

HTCC (High Temperature Co-fired Ceramics) are ceramics that are fired at high temperatures (over 900 °C). Ceramic powder, organic binder, glass frit, and other additives are used to make it. HTCCs are employed in numerous applications such as high-power electronics, microwave components, and laser systems. HTCCs provide exceptional electrical insulation, thermal insulation, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance.

The use of co-fired ceramic is increasing due to its useful properties such as excellent physical, chemical inactivity, hermicity, and high thermal stability. The LTCC market and HTCC market size is estimated to be USD 916 million in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 1.1 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2019 and 2024. The increasing use of co-fired ceramic in the automotive, telecommunications, and aerospace & defense is bolstering the market growth, globally. 

Based on material used, the market for co-fired ceramic is segmented as glass-ceramic and ceramic. Glass-ceramic material type dominated the overall LTCC market and HTCC market in 2018, in terms of volume & value both. This is due to the high demand for glass-ceramic material used in LTCC process for automotive, telecommunications, aerospace & defense applications. In the automotive industry, it is primarily used to make advanced wireless technology such as Bluetooth, used in high radio frequencies. In the telecommunications sector, co-fired ceramics are used in mobiles, play stations, and high radio frequency data transfer. 

The co-fired ceramic is divided into five end-use industries, such as automotive, telecommunications, aerospace & defense, medical, and others. The automotive end-use industry is expected to witness the highest growth in the coming years. The demand for excellent mechanical properties such as excellent physical, chemical inactivity, hermicity, and high thermal stability is expected to boost the market for co-fired ceramic in various end-use industries.
