Dublin, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Aerospace Ceramics Market Forecast to 2029" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The Aerospace Ceramics Market was valued at USD 5.6 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 8.2 Billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 8%.
Advanced ceramics' ultra-high temperature capabilities make them a highly popular material in propulsion engines and aircraft structural applications. For instance, zirconia-based TBCs have revolutionized turbine engine industries by enhancing the durability of turbine engine hot-section components. Aerospace ceramics also enable high speed, low fuel consumption, larger payloads and longer space-time, thus creating lucrative opportunities for advanced ceramics manufacturers in the modern aviation industry.
Ceramics play a key role in modern aviation engines, in which turbine blades and vanes are subject to high temperatures and pressures. These materials enable engines to run more efficiently even at extreme temperatures, as they are more thermally resistant than conventional metal alloys.
Additionally, ceramics are utilized in heat-resistant tiles that protect spacecraft from intense heat when they reenter the Earth's atmosphere. These tiles can absorb and release tremendous heat from air friction because they are frequently composed of silica or ceramics reinforced with carbon fiber. Moreover, the growing prevalence of CMCs that combine the high-temperature resistance of ceramics with the toughness and ductility of fibers or polymers is witnessing high consumption in structural applications, vital engine components and exhaust systems. They significantly improve fracture resistance and help overcome the inherent brittleness of ceramics.
The NASA's advanced materials and processing branch, which investigates developing new materials in space exploration, is an interesting global initiative for aerospace ceramics. This involves a variety of materials, such as metals, ceramics, polymers, composites and nanomaterials relevant to load-bearing structures or instrumentation equipment. NASA is currently looking for ideas from American businesses to create cutting-edge materials and components in space that could improve life on Earth and expand the economy of low Earth orbit. In addition, the European research and innovation program Clean Sky 2 develops innovative technologies for a more ecologically friendly aviation industry. These efforts at a global scale will support the development of advanced ceramics in the coming years.
