Market Dynamics
Introduction
Ceramic fiber is synthetic mineral wool that can withstand temperatures above 1000°C. It is majorly used in the aerospace industry, owing to its lightweight properties, possession of enormous compressive strength, and improvement of thermal performance without the requirement of a vacuum. Its other name is high-temperature insulation wool.
Ceramic fiber is used only in high-temperature industrial applications and some other processes. Blankets, modules, boards, paper, and some others are the product forms of ceramic fiber.
Market Drivers
The growing demand for extremely thermal-efficient insulation products is estimated to drive the growth of the global ceramic fiber market.
