Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) Market Size & Forecast Report, 2014 - 2025

The global Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC) Market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the upcoming period as the scope and its applications are rising enormously across the globe. Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) are termed composite materials that comprise ceramic fibers entrenched in a ceramic matrix.

The factors that are playing a major role in the growth of the ceramic matrix composites market are the rising concern towards the environment and strict pollution control policy, the high strength and lightweight, and the rising demand from end-users to create durable structures. However, the high initial investment and the high cost of products may restrain the overall market in the years to come. The ceramic matrix composites (CMC) industry is segmented based on product type, application, and region.

Carbon, oxide, silicon carbide, and other product types could be explored in the ceramic matrix composites (CMC) market in the forecast period. The silicon carbide (SiC) sector accounted for a substantial share of the ceramic matrix composites industry and is estimated to lead the overall market in the years to come. Also, the carbon-ceramic composites sector is estimated to grow at the fastest pace in the years to come.

The market may be categorized based on applications like electrical & electronics, aerospace, energy & power, defense, and others that could be explored in the forecast period. The aerospace sector accounted for the significant share of the ceramic matrix composites (CMC) industry and is estimated to continue its dominance in the years to come. The reason could be its properties like the outstanding thermal shock resistance, excellent load resistance, greater flexibility, and high-temperature stability. Also, the defense sector is estimated to grow at the fastest pace in the years to come.

Globally, North America accounted for the substantial share of the ceramic matrix composites market and is estimated to lead the overall market in the years to come. The reason behind the overall market growth could be the presence of the aviation industry, government initiative by rising investment in the defense & aerospace sectors, and the presence of key manufacturers in the region. The United States is a major consumer of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) in this region.

Europe and the Asia Pacific are also estimated to have a positive influence on future growth. Europe is the second-largest region with a significant market share. However, Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR in the forecast period. Developing countries like India and China are the major consumers of ceramic matrix composites (CMC) in this region.

The key players of the ceramic matrix composites industry are COI Ceramics, Inc., General Electric Company, UBE Industries, Ltd., and Coorstek, Inc. These players are concentrating on inorganic growth to sustain themselves amidst fierce competition.
