Description

The global ceramic matrix composites market size is estimated to be USD 7.9 billion in 2021 and reach USD 15.59 billion in 2027, registering a CAGR of 12% during the forecast period, 2021-2027. The enormous demand for lightweight, fuel efficiency-compatible materials with superior mechanical and thermal properties from the automobile, aerospace, and defense industries are projected to drive the market for ceramic matrix composites. Ceramic matrix composites are replacing titanium metal and other composites-based components in many industries. The rising rate of production of the significant aircraft programs and rapidly widening application base of the ceramic matrix composites are collectively fueling the market growth. Exceptional performance delivery of ceramic matrix composites at higher temperatures is particularly driving the sales in the defense industry. One of the world’s key industrial sectors – the energy industry, has also been responsible for generating substantial demand for ceramic matrix composites in the global market.

Top Market Influencers for Global Ceramic Matrix Composites Market over Forecast Period

The ceramic matrix composites are finding increased application in automobile and aerospace & defense industries due to their high damage tolerance, corrosion resistance, and fracture toughness, among others. This burgeoning demand is projected to propel the growth of the market over the forecast period. The tightening of government regulations regarding fuel efficiency is a major concern for automobile and aircraft manufacturers. To comply with these regulations, manufacturers are shifting towards lightweight ceramic matrix composites, which enables them to achieve high efficiency. This rapid shift towards ceramic matrix composites is expected to boost the demand for ceramic matrix composites.

Higher costs of ceramic matrix composites compared to other metals and alloys, limiting its application to premium products, are a major hurdle for the market's rapid growth. The use of ceramic matrix composites leads to issues concerning reparability and recyclability. The damages in ceramic matrix composites are extremely hard to find, and skilled human resources are required for the job. However, the increasing awareness regarding ceramic matrix composites repair techniques is likely to tackle this issue in a short time span and support the market's growth over the forecast period.

Impact of COVID-19 on Ceramic Matrix Composites Market

The COVID-19 crisis has significantly affected the ceramic matrix composites market, causing a dramatic decline in overall demand and calls for quick actions from every stakeholder, including manufacturers, vendors, distributors, and consumers. The economic slowdown has caused a major decrease in demand for products of the end-use industries, which is expected to negatively impact the ceramic matrix composites market in the initial years of the forecast period. However, the negative impact of the pandemic is expected to be compensated over the medium-term future.
