Monolithic Ceramics - A Global Market Overview

Monolithic Ceramics are high-strength, brittle materials composed of both metallic and non-metallic atoms. These ceramics have a polycrystalline microstructure and can be fabricated without using any reinforcement material. They consist of a weak cell boundary network that deflects cracks and a hexagonal arrangement of submillimeter strong polycrystalline ceramic cells. These materials are usually made of a single phase using a number of techniques, such as hot pressing, sintering and powder compaction. Due to their indispensable characteristics, such as reliability, durability and resistance to high temperatures, they have been adopted as an alternative to traditional metals and plastics.

Based on their attributes, Monolithic Ceramics are classified into oxides and non-oxides. Some examples of oxides are aluminum oxide or alumina (Al2O3), zirconium oxide or zirconia (ZrO2) and titanium dioxide (TiO2), while non-oxide monolithic ceramics primarily include nitrides [aluminum nitride (AlN), boron nitride (BN), silicon nitride (Si3N4) and titanium nitride (TiN)], carbides [boron carbide (B4C), silicon carbide (SiC), titanium carbide (TiC) and tungsten carbide (WC)] and borides [titanium diboride (TiB2)]. These ceramics find use in various end-use sectors, such as electrical & electronics, automotive & transportation, aerospace, power generation, defence & military and healthcare.

The global demand for Monolithic Ceramics is estimated at US$20.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach US$29.2 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 6.3% between the two years. Demand for Monolithic Ceramics has been exhibiting noteworthy growth over the recent past and is expected to maintain this trend during the analysis period. The major reasons include increasing demand for electronic devices, especially in manufacturing capacitors and transistors for smartphones, laptops, TVs, cameras and IoT equipment, the growing need in medical care devices and continuous innovations in research & development to enhance the properties of monolithic ceramics. These materials are also extensively used in pollution control devices in automobiles due to the alarming concern over environmental issues. Stringent regulatory guidelines have been enforced by governments in regard to curbing the emissions of greenhouse gases from various sources.
