Yarns Fabric & Textile

The global ceramic textile market size was USD 74.5 Million in 2015 and is projected to register a CAGR of 9.94% in terms of value, between 2016 and 2021. Properties of ceramics to contaminate heat in high temperature applications would drive the market. High number of emerging application industries, such as aerospace and alternate energy, would boost the ceramic textile market.

Refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) is the largest segment of the ceramic textile market. RCF is a versatile material. It can be spun or blown into bulk, air-laid into a blanket, folded into modules, converted into papers, boards, and shapes, die-cut into gaskets, twisted into yarns, woven into rope and cloth, and blended into liquid binders for mastics and cements. It is lightweight and has low thermal conductivities, excellent resistance to thermal shock, outstanding electrical resistivity, excellent insulating properties, superior corrosion resistance, and good acoustical properties.

The ceramic textile market is dominated by the industrial end-use industry. It would also grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the growing petrochemical, steel, and aluminum end-use industries in the global market. High demand for end products from industries such as iron & steel, aluminum, petrochemicals, and others are driving the production of ceramic fibers.

Ceramic cloth is the largest market in the form segment of ceramic textiles. Properties of ceramic cloth such as insulation, good performance at low temperatures, and heat insulation contribute to its large market size. It has wide applications such as welding foundry works, aluminum and steel mills, boiler insulation and seal, shipyards, refineries, power plants, and chemical plants. Braids would be the fastest-growing segment in the market. The characteristics of braids such as maximum resistance to mechanical abuse, superior strength, minimal unraveling would trigger the growth of the segment.

Asia-Pacific is the largest and fastest-growing market for ceramic textiles. Infrastructural growth in Asia-Pacific and increasing industrialization are responsible for the same. Most of the emerging economies are also situated in this region. Moreover, large transportation projects are increasing in this region to cater the needs of growing population.
