Owing to the ability to withstand high temperatures, ceramic fibres are used as insulation materials primarily for lining furnaces and kilns.

Effect of COVID-19 has a direct impact on the ceramic materials, owing to the disruption in the supply chain, longer downtime, lockdown scenario, and insufficient raw materials that would hamper the production and demand for ceramic fibres in the various end-use industries.

Ceramic Fibre Market Segment Analysis - By Type

Refractory ceramic fibre (RCF) is extensively used in the ceramic fibre market.

These fibres tend to be more durable. Refractory Ceramic Fibre has high chemical resistance due to which it is mainly used for products in industrial high-temperature applications. Refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) material used for lining fired heaters in the oil refining and petrochemical industries. It has excellent handleability, heat capacity, good resistance to pollutants, and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures. These characteristics make it ideally suited to prolong the life of fired heaters and improve their energy efficiency and reliability. Thus, increasing demand for refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) will drive the market for ceramic fibre market.

Ceramic Fibre Market Segment Analysis - By Form

Blankets are the widely used form of the ceramic fibre market. In shipbuilding, high-temperature resistant ceramic blankets and boards are used as insulation to prevent fire spread and general heating containment. The cabin walls and ceilings of ships for this purpose could be fitted with blankets, rigid boards and semi-hard boards. In automotive industry and aircraft and space vehicle engines, ceramic blankets are used as insulation for catalytic converters. Ceramic blankets on the interior of the furnaces are used in the metal industry as insulation. The use of self-melting, also the melting of the production process made of long silk spinning, double-sided acupuncture fibers made of intertwined, can be directly as a hot flame, set fire heat, insulating in one, in the long-term neutral, oxidizing and partial reducing atmosphere, can still retain a good strength, durability.

Ceramic Fibre Market Drivers

Increasing demand for ceramic fibre in aerospace industries

Owing to the lightweight, high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, high energy of ablation, resistance to corrosion, chemical stability, wears resistance, and ability to withstand vibration ceramic fibres are used in aerospace industry. In the construction of engine parts such as turbine blends, compressors and exhaust buckets, aerospace rockets, ceramic-fiber reinforced composites are used. Ceramics are used in aerospace application as they are lighter than metals and allow quicker speeds, lower fuel consumption, higher payloads and longer space times for spacecraft to be explored. Ceramics are mainly used in engine and exhaust systems, thermal safety devices, and ultra-high-speed moving vehicle structures for aerospace applications. Also, Ceramic and ceramic matrix composites that can withstand temperatures as high as 1.600 ° C are used to produce lightweight turbine components that need less cooling air, such as vanes, blades, nozzles and combustion liners, and exhaust system components that improve acoustic attenuation and have a long service life due to their abrasion and corrosion resistance.

Higher thermal performance in comparison with substitutes

The usage in the iron and steel industry of ceramic fibre is increasingly being produced as a refractory lining for heat treatment and preheating furnaces. This is mainly due to its superior thermal efficiency per unit thickness compared to the insulating fire brick. Lightweight and low conductive ceramic fibre helps in conserving energy by preventing the escape of heat from furnaces and kilns. It helps in saving up to nearly 20% of energy, thereby reducing the overall production cost. Compared to substitutes, ceramic fiber has superior wear resistance, high-temperature resilience and chemical stability. Glass and metals are other conventionally used alternatives for heat insulation. Yet manufacturers continue to use ceramic products in furnaces, boilers, and kilns due to poor performance characteristics of metals and glass at extremely high temperatures. The furnace gases produced in glass-melting furnaces provide a high amount of thermal energy. At temperatures above 1,200°C, these gases get polluted due to the melted glass components. For high-temperature ranges glass furnaces are therefore not favored.

Ceramic Fibre Market Challenges

Health effects of ceramic fibre

Ceramic fiber of less than 1 im diameter is considered carcinogenic, and a thinner than 3 im diameter can be absorbed into the lungs during the manufacturing process, which may lead to extreme respiratory diseases and inflammation of the skin. Given that a reasonable proportion of the fibers produced by the traditional method have small diameters, those involved in their manufacturing and handling may face significant health hazards. The fibers themselves may irritate the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory tract, but the main concern is that individual fibers are small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs and can result in lung cancer and mesothelioma forming. The prevalent manifestation of RCF toxicity was called inflammation. Also, the majority of ceramic fiber products consist of inorganic compounds, such as alumina (Al2O3) and silica (Si2O3), are classified as carcinogenic compounds.

Market Landscape

Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in ceramic fibre market. In 2019, the market of ceramic fibre market has been consolidated by the top five players accounting for xx% of the share. Major players in the ceramic fibre market are Morgan Thermal Ceramics, Unifrax LLC, Nutec Fibratec, Isolite Insulating Products Co. Ltd., 3M Co., Ibiden Co.
