Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Ceramic fibres are small-dimension filaments or strings made of a ceramic material, typically alumina and silica, used in lightweight units for electrical, thermal, and sound insulation. Ceramic fibre is an insulation material composed of alumina and silica that is held together by an inorganic binder. Its lightweight and low-density properties make it suitable for high-temperature applications requiring low thermal mass. Due to their high thermal tolerance and corrosion resistance, consecutive ceramic Fiber/threads are commonly used in high-temperature applications in place of metals.

Global Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) Market Dynamics

Drivers

• high adoption from the various end user industries

The global refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) market is primarily driven by high demand from end-use industries such as iron and steel, refining and petrochemical, power generation, chemical, transportation, and others. Ceramic properties are in high demand due to their superior properties such as lightweight, thermal stability, excellent thermal insulating performance, high thermal shock resistance, and low thermal conductivity. It also has low heat storage, excellent sound absorption, high corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and chemical stability in addition to these properties. One of the major drivers of the global refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) is the high demand for ceramic fibre in the refining and petrochemical industries.

• Growing demand from the petrochemical industries

Petrochemicals are essential for the production of paints, rubbers, plastics, textiles, solvents, detergents, dyes, and other synthetic materials, which drive the global market. Ceramic fibre is widely used in the petrochemical industry for boilers and heating centres, catalyst bases and filter parts used in purifying hot gases, boiler header insulation, high-temperature filtration of gases and liquids, reactors and cat crackers, and burner insulation. Another major factor positively influencing market growth is the rising demand for stainless steel as the aviation and rail sectors expand.

Opportunity

Due to the increased environmental awareness, market players are investing in R&D to improve the functionality of polymer stabilisers, which is expected to contribute to the growth of the global polymer stabilisers market.

Restraints

COVID-19 Impact Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) Market

The global market for polymer stabilisers has been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic slowed economic growth in nearly all major countries, affecting consumer spending patterns. National and international transport have been hampered as a result of the lockdown implemented in various countries, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of numerous industries around the world, thereby increasing the supply-demand gap. As a result, a lack of raw material supply is expected to slow the production rate of polymer stabilisers, negatively impacting market growth. However, the situation is expected to improve as governments around the world begin to relax regulations for resuming business operations.
