Based on fiber type, Woven fibers are commonly used as reinforcement in ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). In woven ceramic matrix composites, the continuous fibers are arranged in a woven pattern and embedded within a ceramic matrix material. This arrangement provides enhanced mechanical properties and allows for improved load distribution within the composite structure. The woven fiber reinforcement in CMCs provides improved mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, flexural strength, and fracture toughness. The interlocking arrangement of fibers distributes the applied load more effectively, preventing crack propagation and enhancing the overall structural integrity of the composite. The woven fibers segment is expected to register the second-highest share of the ceramic matrix composites market due to the increased use of ceramic matrix composites. For example, Companies such as GE Aviation, BJS Ceramics, MATECH, and NGS Advanced Fibers Co. Ltd., have their in-house weaving process, specifically designed for weaving ceramic fiber tow into the woven form. This commercial use of woven fiber driving the ceramic matrix composites market.
Based on matrix type, The C/SiC segment is expected to have the second largest share of the ceramic matrix composites market in 2022 by value. C/SiC (Carbon/Silicon Carbide) is a common type of Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) that utilizes a carbon fiber reinforcement within a silicon carbide matrix. The C/SiC composite combines the high strength and stiffness of carbon fibers with the excellent thermal and chemical properties of silicon carbide. C/SiC composites find applications in high-temperature environments, such as aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors. They are used in components like rocket nozzles, thermal protection systems for spacecraft, gas turbine engine components (e.g., combustor liners, shrouds), and brake systems for high-performance vehicles.
Based on end-use industry, the automotive industry segment is expected to have the second-highest share ceramic matrix composites market in 2022. One of the primary advantages of ceramic matrix composites in the automotive industry is their ability to contribute to lightweighting. ceramic matrix composites are lighter than traditional metal materials, such as steel and aluminum, while still providing high strength and stiffness. By incorporating ceramic matrix composites into vehicle components, automakers can reduce the overall weight of the vehicle, leading to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. ceramic matrix composites can also be employed in structural applications within the automotive industry. For example, ceramic matrix composites can be used in the construction of lightweight body panels, chassis components, and suspension parts. These applications benefit from the high strength-to-weight ratio of ceramic matrix composites, enabling improved performance, fuel efficiency, and handling characteristics. Superior properties of ceramic matrix composites driving the market in automtive industry.
