Ceramic Matrix Composites Market | Potential Benefits, Challenges, Gross Margin, Top Manufacturers and Forecast 2020-2028
The global Ceramic matrix composites Market is studied in the latest research report from Market Research Future (MRFR). The report profiles the global ceramic matrix composites market’s historical background, present structure, and future growth prospects.
Ceramic matrix composites are composites wherein the ceramic matrix is reinforced with fibers. This adds to the structural integrity of the composites and removes brittleness. This makes these materials suitable for use in applications involving extremely high temperatures.
The growing use of ceramic matrix composites in the aerospace and defense sector is likely to be a major driver for the global ceramic matrix composites market over the forecast period. Aerospace sector manufacturers are obsessed with getting the most strength out of the lightest materials in order to make aircraft lighter and stronger. This has led to a large-scale reliance on ceramic matrix composites, which have proven to be the perfect material for use in various aerospace applications such as engine building, brake disks, turbine blades, and others. The increasing government spending on fighter jets in countries such as China, the U.S., the UK, and India is likely to remain a major driver for the global ceramic matrix composites market over the forecast period. The rising commercial airliner industry is also likely to bode well for the global ceramic matrix composites market over the forecast period.
The automotive industry is also a major consumer of ceramic matrix composites and is likely to remain in the position over the forecast period. The growing government support to lightweight vehicles, which emit less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases than conventionally built vehicles, has led to growing demand for lightweight materials that can molded into the variety of shapes needed in a modern automobile. The high structural integrity of ceramic matrix composites has been vital in driving the demand for the same from the automotive industry.
Competitive Analysis:
Leading players in the global ceramic matrix composites market include 3M, CeramTec, CoorsTek Inc., Kyocera Corporation, SGL Carbon India Pvt. Ltd., Rolls-Royce plc, Lancer Systems, General Electric, COI Ceramics Inc., and Applied Thin Films Inc.
