The global advanced ceramics market size was estimated at USD 107.00 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing demand for advanced ceramics in various industries, coupled with growth in the medical and telecom sectors, is expected to drive market expansion. Advanced ceramics, also known as technical ceramics, possess improved magnetic, optical, thermal, and electrical conductivity. End-users can reduce their production and energy costs by utilizing advanced ceramics that provide high efficiency to end products. Asia Pacific is a leading market for advanced ceramics in the world in terms of their consumption.
The rise in demand for advanced ceramics in the U.S. can be attributed to an increasing preference for lightweight materials across various industries. The production and consumption of these materials and components for the electrical and electronics sectors have been on the rise due to the growing need for uninterrupted connectivity. Furthermore, flourishing electric vehicle (EVs) and defense sectors have also contributed to market growth.
For instance, in 2023, under the National Defense Authorization Act of the U.S., the country authorized USD 32.6 billion for Navy shipbuilding, an increase of USD 4.70 billion. Also, in April 2023, the EPA announced new and stricter environmental rules for light- and medium-duty vehicles. The rules are expected to apply to vehicles manufactured from 2027 to 2032, covering greenhouse gases (GHG) and other pollutants, including ozone, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide.
