Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing demand for ceramic fiber insulation from high-temperature application
Ceramic fiber possesses low thermal conductivity and the ability to withstand high temperatures. In addition, it has low density and low thermal inertia. Thus, ceramic fiber dissipates less heat and has remarkable energy saving properties. Ceramic fiber products are used as insulation materials in high-temperature applications for high heat containment and energy conservation. The products are in the form of blankets, boards, bulk fibers, modules, paper, textile, and others. Their lightweight, thermal shock resistance, and strength make them useful in a number of end-use industriesthese are petrochemical, iron & steel, aluminum, ceramic, power generation, automotive, aerospace, and glass among others.
In the end-use industries, such as petrochemical, iron & steel, aluminum, ceramic, aerospace, and automotive, the process runs at 6001,700°C, the temperature range at which very few materials can operate. In such high-temperature applications, energy consumption is the most important aspect because it accounts for approximately 40% of the manufacturing cost. In order to reduce this cost, companies are now using ceramic fiber-based products due to their property of low thermal conductivity. Ceramic fiber also helps in reducing carbon emissions due to its excellent chemically stable properties at high temperatures. Ceramic fiber is primarily used in lining furnaces and kilns.
In addition, ceramic fiber products are also used as heat insulation for kitchen utensils; as insulation to prevent the spread of fires; for general heat containment in ships, marine vessels, and buildings; heat insulation of exhaust gas boilers at gas turbine combined-cycle power plants; as catalytic converters and to lower emission in the automotive industry; for furnace door linings, chimneys, and kiln cars insulation in the ceramic industry. The ceramic fiber products are manufactured in various dimensions based on parameters, such as density, tensile strength, thickness, and thermal conductivity. This is done to meet specific requirements. These factors can increase the market share of ceramic fibers in the above-mentioned applications, during the forecast period
Restraints: Stringent regulations pertaining to the use of carcinogenic materials and durability issue
The conventional practice of making ceramic fiber is to extrude ceramics melted at very high temperatures through a set of fine holes, approximately 3 mm in diameter. Ceramic fiber of less than 1 ΅m diameter is considered carcinogenic, and one finer than 3 ΅m diameter can get ingested into the lungs during the manufacturing process, which could cause serious respiratory diseases and severe skin irritation. As a fair proportion of the fibers manufactured by the conventional process have small diameters, there can be serious health hazards to those involved in their manufacturing and handling.
Most of the ceramic fiber products are composed of inorganic compounds, such as alumina (Al2O3) and silica (Si2O3) that are known as carcinogens. A Material Safety Datasheet (MSDS) is therefore essential along with special training for the safer use of this material. Among the three types of ceramic fibers, only RCF is carcinogenic, while AES wool and PCW do not contain any carcinogens.
Opportunities: Increasing demand from various applications in aerospace and alternative energy industry
Ceramic fiber products, due to their high-temperature resistance, are being used in new applications, such as aerospace and alternative energy. The alternative energy applications include fuel cells, solar, geothermal, biofuels, and waste incinerators. Ceramic fiber, which is very strong and lightweight, is slowly revolutionizing the aerospace industry.
Increasing demand for ceramic fiber insulation from high temperature application
The ceramic fiber market size is estimated to be USD 2,066.5 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 3,313.0 million by 2026, at a CAGR of 9.9% between 2021 and 2026. The growth of the ceramic fiber market is primarily triggered by its increasing use in the refining & petrochemical and power generation industries. The major restraint for the market will be the stringent regulations pertaining to the use of carcinogenic materials. The harmful and adverse effects on the environment and human health is a major concern, worldwide. The use of such toxic substances has, thus, been limited or banned in many applications, thereby restraining the market growth. However, rising demand for high temperature insulation from developed regions will act as an opportunity for the market.
The RCF is the largest type of ceramic fiber for ceramic fiber market in 2020
The rising construction activities; high production of iron & steel and aluminum industries; the rising demand for flexible, durable, and lightweight materials; rising standard of living, and high per-capita spending are driving the RCF market in this region. Owing to the carcinogenic nature of RCF and introduction of several regulations on the use of RCF, companies are now manufacturing and using AES wool as a substitute for RCF.
Blanket is estimated to be the largest product form of ceramic fiber market between 2021 and 2026.
Blanket is the most widely-known product form of ceramic fiber because of its versatility in design and performance. The blanket segment accounted for the largest share of the overall market, in terms of value, in 2020. The huge demand in this segment is owing to the high demand for insulation material in the shipping, metal, automotive, and space industries.
Refining & petrochemical is estimated to be the largest end-use industry of ceramic fiber market between 2021 and 2026.
Refining & petrochemical industry had the highest market share and is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period mainly because of its high use in the furnaces and boilers for refining crude and petrochemicals production. The increasing need to lower operating costs; increase reliability; and lower the energy use in furnace linings, roof, and walls are fueling the demand for ceramic fiber in the refining & petrochemical industry.
APAC is expected to be the largest ceramic fiber market during the forecast period, in terms of value.
