INTRODUCTION
This market research report analyzes the market, materials, and recent developments in advanced structural ceramics. The report includes an overview of advanced ceramic materials and discusses production technologies, new applications, and competitive issues. The various businesses entering the field of advanced structural ceramics are presented, and the barriers to entry are discussed. Market projections are given for the next 5 years.
Advanced structural ceramics have the potential to resolve many material-based challenges in process industry, power generation, aerospace, transportation, and military applications. Their wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and light weight represent a superior combination of qualities. These materials may help to decrease energy consumption and minimize pollution. Breakthroughs in advanced ceramics technology are having far-reaching impact on global business and society.
Companies that may be interested in this report include:
Developers, manufacturers, and suppliers of advanced ceramic materials.
Manufacturers, suppliers, and users of advanced ceramic raw materials.
Manufacturers, suppliers, and users of advanced ceramic powders.
Developers and manufacturers of advanced ceramic components.
Engine component manufacturers.
Cutting tool insert manufacturers.
Manufacturers of wear parts and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) suppliers.
Manufacturers and suppliers of dental crowns, ceramic posterior materials, and ceramic hip implants.
Manufacturers and suppliers of armor.
Manufacturers and suppliers of ceramic kiln furniture, recuperators, and heat exchangers.
Chemical firms interested in diversification or acquisitions.
Venture capitalists, angel investors, and financial institutions interested in attractive new investments and acquisitions.
SCOPE OF REPORT
The report analyzes materials used in each structural ceramic application category and their respective properties, processing technologies, properties, prices, and North American markets. The qualitative and quantitative judgments in this report represent a valuable contribution to the knowledge of advanced structural ceramic materials, components, processing techniques, applications, and markets.
INFORMATION SOURCES AND METHODOLOGY
Both primary and secondary research methodologies were used in preparing this study. Findings are based on information derived from interviews with developers, producers, and potential producers of advanced structural ceramic materials, components, and powders; industry experts; and people who perform research and development (R&D) on monolithic ceramic and ceramic matrix composites. End users were contacted to evaluate the projected demand for technical and advanced structural ceramics.
Secondary data were obtained from trade publications, technical journals, government statistics, and BCC databases. Financial values are presented in constant dollars. Historical financial values are for the year given.
