Advanced ceramics are a category of ceramic materials with exceptional mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties compared to traditional ceramics. These materials are engineered to have specific properties for use in demanding applications across various industries.
The main types of materials of advanced ceramics are alumina, titanate, zirconia, and silicon carbide. Alumina ceramics refer to a group of ceramics composed predominantly of alumina (Al2O3) as the main component. They are used for monolithic ceramic, ceramic coatings, ceramic matrix composites, and ceramic filters applications by electrical and electronics, transportation, medical, industrial, defense and security, chemical, and other end-user industries.

The advanced ceramics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $85.34 billion in 2024 to $90.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing use of ceramics coatings, rising sales of high-performance ceramics, the rising demand for the product from the automotive and medical industries, manufacturers massive investment on development of healthcare applications, and escalating demand for zirconia in the medical industries.
The advanced ceramics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $113.07 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for electro ceramics, rising demand from medical and electronics sectors, advanced ceramics are preferred in the joint replacement process, rise in use as alternative to metals and plastics, eco-friendliness and reliability of use. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing use in nanotechnology, innovative product development, the rising demand for ceramics from the field of electro ceramics, growing the adoption of advanced ceramics in aircraft and defense.
The growing demand within the automotive industry is expected to drive the expansion of the advanced ceramics market in the coming years. The automotive industry encompasses the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales of motor vehicles. Advanced ceramics are valued for their exceptional properties, such as high strength, thermal resistance, and lightweight characteristics, making them ideal for use in automotive applications like engine components, exhaust systems, and brake systems. For example, in June 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (EAMA), a Belgium-based industry group, reported that approximately 13 million Europeans are employed in the automotive industry, which accounts for 7% of all EU jobs. The sector also represents 11.5% of EU manufacturing jobs, totaling about 3.4 million positions. The EU produces 13.1 million cars, vans, trucks, and buses annually, making it a key player in the global automotive market, with a trade surplus of €101.9 billion. Consequently, the rising demand in the automotive industry is fueling the growth of the advanced ceramics market.
Key players in the advanced ceramics market are concentrating on fostering innovation, particularly in ensuring consistent quality across various applications. Consistent quality in this context refers to maintaining uniformity in material properties, performance, and reliability across different production batches. For example, in October 2023, ALTEO Holding, a France-based chemicals company, introduced HYCal, a new line of specialty alumina targeted at the advanced ceramics market. This product range focuses on enhancing the performance of advanced ceramics, ensuring consistent quality and reliability. Designed for industries such as electronics and healthcare, HYCal offers high mechanical strength and excellent dielectric properties. Customized solutions are also available to meet specific customer needs.
In November 2022, Momentive Technologies, a US-based company manufacturing fused quartz and a provider of advanced materials, acquired CoorsTek Inc. for an undisclosed amount.
