Advanced ceramics have a wide range of application fields and there is huge room for domestic substitution in the Chinese market

Advanced ceramics are ceramic materials with excellent performance made from high-purity, ultra-fine raw materials, through composition and structural design, precise stoichiometry and new preparation technologies. Compared with traditional ceramic materials, advanced ceramics are different in raw materials, processes, performance, composition, etc. As a kind of high-performance ceramics, advanced ceramics have excellent high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, etc., and are suitable for many fields such as petroleum, chemicals, steel, textiles, electronics, automobiles, and aerospace.

According to the “2022-2026 China Advanced Ceramic Materials Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report released by the Industrial Research Center , with its excellent performance, the application fields of advanced ceramics are gradually expanding, and the scale of the industry is expanding accordingly. In 2021, the global advanced ceramics market will be approximately US$11.64 billion. With the advancement of technology and the improvement of industrial automation level, the advanced ceramics market will further develop. It is expected that the global advanced ceramics market will grow to more than 15 billion US dollars in 2027.

There are many types of advanced ceramics, which can be divided into two categories: functional ceramics and structural ceramics. Functional ceramics are further divided into electronic ceramics, conductive ceramics, magnetic ceramics, medical ceramics, etc. Structural ceramics can be divided into nanoceramics, carbide ceramics, Oxide ceramics, boride ceramics, etc. The development of the advanced ceramics industry is supported by national policies. Relevant domestic policies include “Made in China 2025”, “Guidance Catalog for Industrial Structural Adjustment”, “Guidance Catalog for the First Batch Application Demonstration of Key New Materials 2019 Edition”, etc.

Due to technical limitations, the high-end advanced ceramics industry is highly concentrated. Globally, Japan, Germany and the United States are the main producers of advanced ceramics. Related suppliers include Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Kyocera Corporation, Rogers Corporation, 3M, Saint-Gobain Group, and Coorstek wait. Domestic advanced ceramics are mostly concentrated in the mid- to low-end fields, while high-end advanced ceramics still rely on imports to meet domestic market demand.

In recent years, thanks to the rise of emerging economies, the advanced ceramics market in the Asia-Pacific region has grown rapidly, with China, India and other countries having the highest growth rates. At this stage, my country’s advanced ceramics market is in a stage of rapid development. Representative companies in the industry include Shandong China Ceramics, Fenghua Hi-Tech, Sanhuan Group, Shenzhen Leading Materials, etc. my country’s advanced ceramics industry started late. Although the industry has developed rapidly in recent years, in recent years In terms of supply of high-end products, Chinese companies still have certain deficiencies.

Industry analysts said that advanced ceramics have excellent comprehensive properties and a wide range of downstream applications. With the development of terminal industries, the market demand for advanced ceramics will continue Released, the future development prospects of the industry are better. my country’s advanced ceramics industry started late. Due to technical limitations, domestic advanced ceramics are mainly concentrated in the mid- to low-end fields. High-end market demand relies on imports. There is broad room for domestic substitution of advanced ceramics in the future.
