Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) Market Restraint Analysis and Forecast by 2014-2024

5 Oct 2018 - Global Ceramic Composites (Cmc) Market was valued over USD 1.80 billion in the year 2015. It is anticipated to experience substantial market growth. The product is popular owing to its higher temperature stability as well as low weight and significant strength.

Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) Market

These composites are characterized by high thermal stability as well as electrical conductivity, thus are used in thermal management and electronic which requires high efficiency. Ceramic compounds are being utilized by aerospace, defense, thermal management, and electronics to improve performance and bring stability to structures.

In the coming year's CMC are expected to replace traditional alloys & other metals components as owing to its high thermal stability they can perform with little cooling. Huge demand from the aerospace industry is most likely to drive the ceramic matrix composite market.

Cost of ceramic fibers significantly influence the value this product. The production capacity of alumina and silicon carbide are still small in the case of carbon matrix compounds, and the market is dominated by only a few major players in the North America and Europe, unlike carbon fibers whose mass production has brought down the prices positively. The manufacturing process for the product is energy intensive, which is expected to increase the raw material costs, hence raising the overall price of the product.

High product price acts as a restraint and bound their functions to niche application segments. A number of multinational brands are participating and investing in the emerging parts of the world to fulfill the growing need for these products from various applications.
