The increasing demand within the automotive industry is expected to drive the growth of the advanced ceramics market going forward. The automotive industry includes the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, and their components. Rising automotive demand is largely driven by the growing number of people purchasing vehicles, which boosts vehicle production and sales. Advanced ceramics support this growth by offering lightweight, heat-resistant, and wear-resistant materials that enhance vehicle performance, efficiency, and durability. For example, in April 2024, the Serbian Association of Vehicle and Parts Importers, a Serbia-based professional automotive organization, reported that 93,546,599 vehicles - including 67,133,570 passenger vehicles - were produced worldwide in 2023, up from 84,830,376 vehicles in 2022. Therefore, the rising demand in the automotive sector is contributing to the expansion of the advanced ceramics market.

Major companies in the advanced ceramics market are introducing innovations such as specialty alumina designed to deliver consistent quality and reliable performance across multiple applications. Consistent quality in this context refers to maintaining uniform material characteristics, performance, and reliability across production batches. For example, in October 2023, ALTEO Holding, a France-based chemicals company, launched HYCal, a new line of specialty alumina developed specifically for the advanced ceramics market. These products are engineered to enhance the performance of advanced ceramics, offering high mechanical strength and excellent dielectric properties. They serve industries such as electronics and healthcare, and include customizable options tailored to specific customer needs.
