Market Definition

The Ceramic Matrix Composites Market size was valued at USD 7.92 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach USD 22.31 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.2% from 2022-2030.

Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are a sub group of ceramics and are obtained either by liquid or gas phase infiltration of carbon. CMCs consists of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix and has better feasibility than alumina, silicon nitride, zirconia, and silicon carbide like substances. They have remarkable properties such as resistance to high temperatures, thermal shock, good creep resistance, enhanced toughness, as well as high electrical conductivity. Moreover, they are widely used in the aerospace industry for thermal protection, and in energy sector as heat exchangers.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The demand for ceramic matrix composites market is increasing due to the high adoption of CMC in the defense, aerospace, and energy power industries. In addition, factors such as rise in the demand of lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles in the automotive industry and increased adoption of CMCs by the governments of developing countries is further expected to propel the growth of the market.

Also, surge in the demand for electrical appliances by the consumers and the growth of the electronics industry is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. Due to high durability and stiffness, the demand for ceramic matrix composites is increasing in the making of turbine engines and other high temperature components and appliances as well. Moreover, the application of nanotechnology in recent years has helped in reducing the overall cost of production of ceramic matrix composites, which in turn drives the growth of the market.

However, high cost of production and issues related to recyclability as well as repairability are factors expected to restrain the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the other hand, huge production of sports cars and vehicles, along with increase in R&D by the manufacturers are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities for the ceramic matrix composites market players in the future.
