Ceramic Matrix Composites Market: What Are The Key Industry Insights? What Will

Posted by Market Research Future on August 2nd, 2018

Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) are ceramic matrix reinforced with short or continuous fibers or whiskers. CMC’s are reinforced with fibers to reduce brittleness and improve fracture toughness. These composites are suitable for application operating under high-temperature conditions owing to superior properties such as high stiffness, thermal stability, good insulation, and low thermal conductivity. The product finds application in various end-use industries such as aerospace & defense, automotive, electrical and electronics, and renewable energy among others.

The global ceramic matrix composites market is driven by rapidly expanding aerospace & defense industry across various regions. These composites are being increasingly used in aircraft for applications such as gas turbine engines, turbine blades, brake disks, and brake system components owing to rising demand for lightweight aircraft. Rising air traffic and growing tourism in the developing economies such as India, China, and Thailand have increased the need for aircraft, which, in turn is driving the market growth. Furthermore, increasing spending on the military and defense equipment by various countries such as the U.S. Britain, India, and China among others to bolster the military power and is likely to provide lucrative opportunities to the global ceramic matrix composites market.

Reviving automotive industry in the developed regions combined with enlarging demand for fuel-efficient vehicles as a result of strict environmental regulations is uplifting the market growth. Additionally, increasing spending on the passenger vehicles in the developing regions coupled with rising disposable income of the consumers is likely to fuel the product demand.

Furthermore, surging demand for the electronics devices in appliances, sports goods, and semiconductors owing to strong thermal stability and high dielectric properties are propelling the market growth. Growing use of ceramic matrix composites as a substitute for metal components due to fracture toughness and damage resistance is stimulating the demand.

However, development of advanced ceramics to overcome the presence of brittleness in CMC’s, which may lead to catastrophic failure is likely to hamper the market growth. Moreover, the high manufacturing cost of ceramic matrix components may restrict the market growth over the assessment period, 2018-2023
