Drivers – Ceramics Market:

·       Increasing Demand for Advanced Ceramics from the Electronics Sector

The demand for advanced ceramics has increased, owing to its special features such as the wide range of electrical conductivity, that extends more than 15 orders of magnitude and cannot be matched by any other class of materials. They frequently allow for reduced product sizes and, hence, more commercially appealing items when compared to metallic materials.

The wide-ranging application of advanced ceramic materials in electrical engineering and electronics has increased over the past year to a correspondingly high number of variants in electrically passive and active materials. These days, a wide range of materials are available, such as ceramics for NTC, PTC, piezoelectric, and dielectrics. The key application of advanced ceramics is the manufacture of semiconductors. Some of the widely used advanced ceramics in semiconductor manufacturing are silicon carbide (SiC) and pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN). The increasing demand for advanced ceramics from the electronics industry, especially for manufacturing semiconductors is driving its market growth.
