Ceramic Foams Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

Ceramic foam is a porous ceramic which is used as a heat-transfer and insulation material. Ceramic foam has a many small pores which create a high surface area. This enables the ceramic foam to store and absorb a large amount of energy, making it an effective insulator. Ceramic foam can also transfer heat from one object to another, making it a significant component in thermal management systems.

Global Ceramic Foams Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Increasing usage of ceramic foams for pollution control

Ceramic foams are used to control pollution, mainly for pollution particles released from engines. Ceramic foams are helpful for control pollution due to presence of voids that capture these pollution particulates and also help the catalyst to oxidise captured particulates. These pollution particles can easily disposition from ceramic foam and distributed through the entire foam effectively. Therefore, increasing usage of ceramic foams for pollution control is likely to drive the market growth.

• Growing demand of ceramic foams from foundry and casting industry

Ceramic foams are used as a filter for filtering castings of copper alloys cast iron, bronze, brass and providing excellent quality casting surface. Furthermore, the foundry industry faces the difficulty of managing scrap at the end of filtration. The ceramic foam based filters such as Molten Metal Filtration and Exhaust Filters, reduce the scrap generation significantly. Thus, increased demand for ceramic foams for the foundry industry will further drive the market growth.

Opportunities

• Increasing demand for insulation materials

The demand for the ceramic foams is increasing rapidly due to their insulated nature. The European nations have passed regulations for the installation of insulated materials at homes according to climatic conditions. The European Commission’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) mainly focuses on the grades of insulation materials and their impact on environment. These government initiatives have led to the augmented usage insulation materials such as ceramic foams at home and commercial places. Thus, the increasing demand for insulation materials is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities for market growth in the coming years.

• Rising demand of ceramic foams in automotive sector

There is a requirement to increase the efficiency of automotive. An automotive generally consists various components mainly interior and exterior mirrors, air ducts, de-aeration tanks, plastic components, fuel tanks, exhaust manifold and valve springs. It is important to improve fuel efficiency of the automobiles by decreasing emissions because these emissions can cause harm to environment. As a result of this, exhaust filters are manufactured with ceramic foams to improve fuel efficiency of vehicles. Therefore, increasing demand of ceramic foams in automotive sector anticipated will generate lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market.

Restraints/ Challenge

• Availability of substitutes

Availability of other substitute such as extruded polystyrene insulation (EPS), refractory ceramic fibers (RCFs) and expanded polystyrene insulation (EPS) are expected to hamper the growth of the ceramic foam market growth. As these substitutes also offer similar insulation benefits across the many industry. Furthermore, the alternatives also provide various benefits such as high dimensional stability, heat & cold resistance, fire protection and also repels water, prevents. Thus, these alternatives act as a major challenge for market growth during the forecast period.
