Market Dynamics
Introduction
Automotive ceramics are ceramic materials that are further processed to be used in automobiles. Ceramic has higher ion conductivity and hence can be used for fuel cells for automotive. Automotive ceramics are available in different types such as alumina oxide, titanate oxide, zirconia oxide, and others. Some of the common places where the component is used are engine parts, exhaust systems, automotive electronics, and others.
Market Drivers
The major factors driving the growth of the automotive ceramics market are-
- Growing Automobile fleet.
- Rising use of ceramic materials – Materials like glow plugs, electronic fuel pumps, sealing and insulation rings, spark plugs, valves, etc., are made of ceramic materials as these materials possess properties like high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. This rise hence boosts the demand for the automotive ceramics market.
- Low-cost manufacturing needs – Several industries are focusing on the development of low-cost manufacturing technologies as there is a high demand for lightweight and affordable vehicles. Ceramics, owing to their high melting point, durability, and strength, stand out to be the best materials for manufacturing many components in any automobile, in low-cost, and high strength.
- Stringent Emission Regulations – Governments across the globe are implementing strict emission regulations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Ceramic materials, such as catalytic ceramic filters, etc. show up as the importance of diesel filters in vehicle emission control systems. The need for effective emission control systems is thus, driving the demand for automotive ceramics.
- Technological Advancements – Manufacturers are investing in advanced manufacturing processes such as 3D printing (additive manufacturing), to produce complex ceramic components with precise geometries. Additionally, innovations in ceramic materials and coatings are enhancing their properties, expanding their application areas, and driving the overall growth of the automotive ceramics market.
