Porous Ceramics Market Report 2026

The porous ceramics market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $9.79 billion in 2025 to $10.97 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to advancements in ceramic processing technologies, growth of industrial filtration demand, expansion of high-temperature insulation applications, increasing use in chemical processing, availability of advanced ceramic raw materials.

The porous ceramics market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $17 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for energy-efficient materials, expansion of biomedical engineering applications, growing adoption in emission control systems, increasing focus on lightweight structural components, rising investments in advanced ceramics manufacturing. Major trends in the forecast period include growing use of porous ceramics in filtration applications, rising demand for lightweight thermal insulation materials, expansion of biomedical implant usage, increasing adoption in catalyst supports, enhanced structural performance optimization.

The rising demand for medical equipment is expected to drive the growth of the porous ceramic equipment market. Medical equipment encompasses devices used for various healthcare applications. Porous ceramics are utilized in medical devices such as total hip replacements, dental implants and restorations, bone fillers, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. Consequently, the growing need for medical equipment fuels demand for porous ceramics. For instance, in June 2025, the International Trade Administration (ITA), a US-based government agency, reported that India’s medical device industry is projected to grow from $12 billion in 2023-24 to $50 billion by 2030, driven by population growth, rising health needs, and supportive government initiatives. Therefore, increasing demand for medical equipment in the healthcare sector is propelling the porous ceramics market.

The increasing demand for natural gas and oil is also expected to boost the porous ceramics market. Natural gas and oil are hydrocarbon resources extracted from beneath the earth's surface and are widely used in energy and industrial sectors. Porous ceramics are valued in these industries for their high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and ability to control fluid flow. For instance, in June 2024, the Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, projected that U.S. crude oil production would rise by 2% from 2023 levels to an average of 13.2 million barrels per day in 2024, with a further 4% increase expected in 2025, reaching 13.7 million barrels per day. Therefore, growing demand for natural gas and oil is driving the porous ceramics market.

Major companies in the porous ceramics market are developing innovative solutions such as porous ceramic bricks to enhance water management, reduce flooding risks, and support environmentally responsible construction. Porous ceramic bricks are structural building components with controlled porosity that allow water infiltration while maintaining strength and durability. For example, in November 2023, Yi Design, a China-based sustainable materials company, launched the Permeable YiBrick, made from up to 97% recycled ceramic waste. The highly porous structure absorbs and redirects rainwater into the ground, making it suitable for sponge-city planning, paving, outdoor landscapes, and architectural applications that prioritize sustainable, low-impact water management.
