Aerospace Ceramics: Global Markets to 2029

Report Scope

This report analyzes the global market for aerospace ceramics, reflecting the latest data, trends and market projections. Aerospace ceramics are advanced materials that exhibit superior thermal and electrical performance and lightweight properties, leading to enhanced aircraft performance, including fuel efficiency, greater speed, range and payload capacity. They are primarily found in thermal protection shields, engine and exhaust systems, and structures for aircraft.

For this analysis, the global market for aerospace ceramics is segmented by:

• Composition: ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), oxides ceramics (alumina, zirconia) and non-oxide ceramics (silicon carbide, silicon nitride, boron carbide).
• Application: structural, thermal and electrical.
• End use: commercial aviation (commercial passenger and commercial transport), defense and military aerospace, commercial space industry, and others (helicopter, general aviation).
• Region: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, the Middle East and Africa.

The report focuses on aerospace ceramics for the commercial aviation and space exploration sector with a focus on structural, thermal and electrical applications. Structural applications include engine components, such as turbine blades and nozzles, airframes, landing gear and structural reinforcements. Thermal applications include thermal protection systems (TPS), heat shields, thermal barrier coatings, insulation in engines and re-entry systems, and hypersonic vehicle exteriors. Electrical applications include electronic components such as capacitors, antennas and sensors, avionics and substrates. The base year for the market study is 2023, with estimates and forecasts for 2024 to 2029. Market estimates are in U.S. dollars (millions).

Forecasts for growth rates are based on expected industry capacity additions, feedback from key companies, revenue reports of major companies, and anticipated regulatory updates. Data from major ceramic associations such as the Australian Ceramics Association, Contemporary Ceramic Studios Association, European Ceramic Industry Association, British Ceramic Confederation, Ceramics Southern Africa, Midwest Ceramic Association and the Association of British Ceramic Distributors were used to anticipate the market dynamics and further triangulate the market size.
