Porous Ceramics Global Market Report 2024

Porous ceramics find applications in the production of pottery, bricks, tiles, cement, and glass. This class of materials encompasses a wide range of structures, including foams, interconnected rods, honeycombs, fibers, or hollow spheres.

The main types of products in porous ceramics are oxide ceramics and non-oxide ceramics. Oxide ceramics refer to ceramic materials produced from minerals, which are crushed or ground into a fine powder. This powder is then added to a solution, allowing a chemical precipitate to form. Various raw materials involved in the production of porous ceramics include alumina ceramics, titanate ceramics, zirconate ceramics, ferrite ceramics, aluminum nitride, and others. These materials find applications in filtration, insulation, high-purity materials, structural components, and various other uses.

The porous ceramics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.01 billion in 2023 to $8.97 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%.
The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to the demand in filtration and separation applications, the growth in the oil and gas industry, the expansion of ceramics in aerospace and defense, the use in high-temperature and corrosive environments, and the implementation of regulatory standards for air and water quality.

The porous ceramics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.95 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly porous ceramic materials, the customization of ceramics for specific filtration needs, growth in renewable energy and fuel cell applications, the expansion of ceramics in the automotive sector, and increased use in 5G infrastructure and sensors. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period encompass the adoption of nanoporous ceramics for advanced filtration, a focus on regulatory compliance in ceramic material safety, the incorporation of 3D printing and additive manufacturing in ceramics, the development of personalized ceramics for precision medicine, and the exploration of transparent and optically functional ceramics.

The porous ceramic equipment market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing demand for medical equipment. Medical devices, employed for various healthcare purposes, often incorporate porous ceramics in applications such as total hip replacement, dental implants, bone fillers, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. The surge in demand for medical equipment is evident in the medical devices industry, projected to reach $50 billion by 2025 at a remarkable CAGR of 37%, up from $10.36 billion in 2020, as per the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF). Consequently, the healthcare sector's growing need for medical equipment is a key driver of the porous ceramic market.

The porous ceramics market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increasing demand for natural gas and oil. Hydrocarbon resources like natural gas and oil, crucial in the energy and industrial sectors, utilize porous ceramics owing to their exceptional properties, including high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and fluid flow control capabilities. Reports from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) in December 2022 indicate a rise in both US oil production and natural gas production in 2021, reinforcing the escalating demand in these sectors. The expansion of natural gas and oil exploration and production activities is a significant factor driving the growth of the porous ceramics market.

Strategic partnerships have become a prominent trend in the porous ceramics market, with major companies seeking collaborations to enhance their market position. An example is the partnership between Fortify, a US-based 3D printing startup, and Tethon 3D, a US-based provider of porous ceramic 3D printed materials, established in August 2021. This collaboration enables the joint provision of services for various additive manufacturing applications and classified projects involving government agencies.

Leading companies in the porous ceramics market are innovating technologically advanced products to meet the rising demand for large ceramic components. The CeraMax Vario V900 3D printer, featuring Laser-Induced Slipcasting (LIS) technology, stands out as a groundbreaking solution. Launched by Lithoz GmbH, an Austria-based developer of ceramic 3D printing, this printer can produce large ceramic components with thick walls and full densities using both oxide and non-oxide ceramics. It is particularly adept at processing dark ceramics like silicon carbides. The CeraMax Vario V900 offers a large build volume, high density and strength, a diverse range of materials, and rapid printing speeds.

In January 2022, Mott Corporation, a US-based precision filtration company, completed the acquisition of Asco Filtri S.p.A., an Italy-based filtration company, for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move expands Mott Corporation's global presence across South America, North America, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, and Asia for comprehensive project management and delivery of mission-critical filtration products.
