Ceramic matrix composites are a subgroup of composite material and ceramic. These composites consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix, thus forming a ceramic fiber-reinforced composite material. These materials possess a unique combination of both physical and mechanical properties which include high refractoriness and toughness. These composites are produced by the hot pressing method or sintering method. The key benefits of ceramic matrix composites over other materials include high thermal resistance, hardness, corrosion resistance, and lightweight and non-magnetic. Over years, ceramic matrix companies have gained significant importance in industrial applications due to their high thermal and physical properties over single-phase ceramic materials.
Ceramic Matrix Composites Market Dynamics and Trends
Growing industrial demand for high temperature resistant, low-weight, and density equipment is the primary factor driving the global ceramic matrix composites market. The ceramic matrix composites are majorly used in the production of aero-entry systems, propulsion subsystems, high-temperature radiators, insulations, and coatings. The extensive usage of CMC as an individual material component in the production of brake discs, clutches, and braking systems is another factor driving the global ceramic matrix composites market. The increasing adoption of lightweight composites by electrical vehicle manufacturers is expected to further boost the market of ceramic matrix composites market during the forecast period. Additionally, the growing production of aircraft and the growing addition of CMCs in the production of various subsidiary parts are contributing to the global ceramic matrix composites market. According to General Aviation Manufacturers Association, total airline shipments globally increased from 2,324 units in 2017 to 2,442 units in 2018 is expected to boost the market for CMCs globally.
However, growing environmental regulations and high production costs associated with CMCs are the primary factors hindering the growth of the global ceramic matrix composites market.
Ceramic Matrix Composites Market Segmentation analysis
The global ceramic matrix composites market is segmented on product type into C/C Ceramic Matrix Composites, C/SIC Ceramic Matrix Composites, Oxide/Oxide Ceramic Matrix Composites, SIC/SIC Ceramic Matrix Composites, and Others
Oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composites are dominating the global ceramic matrix composites market owing to growing attention by the industrial players to replace major refractory materials with these composites in the production of high-temperature components in aerospace and advanced energy sectors. Oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composites now have significant application momentum in oxidation-sensitive component applications Lack of availability of effective material alternatives for titanium and the presence of suitable physical and chemical properties with titanium are the primary factors driving the oxide-oxide ceramic matrix composites.
The use of CMC is on the surge, and among the fastest-growing trends in the aerospace industry. These materials have broad advantages in high-pressure zones, including a reliable performance at extreme temperatures up to 1300 degrees C, significant weight savings compared with nickel alloys, and no need for cooling air requirements. CMC offers up to 260 degrees C higher than nickel alloy at one-third the weight. Thus, most aircraft manufacturers are replacing nickel alloys with CMCs in both low-pressure and high-pressure engines. Moreover, increasing aircraft deliveries and demand for fuel-efficient aircraft will further propel the market for CMC in aircraft engines.
