Report Scope and Market Segmentation

Market Definition

Ceramic textiles are high-temperature fabrics made of alumina-silica ceramic fibre or yarn. They come in a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and shapes. They have outstanding thermal resistance, textile strength, chemical inertness, and thermal insulation properties. These textiles can withstand temperatures of up to 1250°C.

Ceramic textile Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• High Utilisation across Space Shuttle

The ceramic textile is an important component in the creation of strong, lightweight space debris shields for use on the Space Station Laboratory Habitation and other unmanned missions. Ceramic textile's lightweight and durable fabric properties enable design engineers to meet or exceed their specifications. The use of ceramic textiles as a micrometeorite shield, whipple shield, door seals, gaskets, shuttle tiles, booster access doors, and exit cone drives the growth of this market. For example, the shield, which was created at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville and the Johnson Space Center in Houston, contains Ceramic Fabrics manufactured by 3M. Therefore, the high utilization of ceramic textile for space shuttle will largely aid the market expansion.  

• Increased Popularity amongst Racing Cars

The increasing popularity among NASCAR drivers and racing cars due to the thermal resistance property boost the market demand. It keeps NASCOM drivers cool inside the car cockpit, where temperatures can reach a peak during the race, hot enough to melt the driver's shoes. This factor will also further propel the growth rate of ceramic textile market.

Additionally, the increasing use of the pressing process for the production of fabrics, tapes, sleeving, and yarn products is propelling the growth of this segment. The  sapphire is the most widely used material in cutting tools and laser applications due to its high electrical resistance, mechanical and dielectric strength, and high ultraviolet and infrared optical characteristics, which also accelerates the market growth.

Opportunities

• Developments and Advancements

Furthermore, various developments by the market players and significant investments in research and development activities which further enhance the applications of product, extend profitable opportunities to the market players in the forecast period of 2022 to 2029. Additionally, the continuous advancements in the aerospace sector will further expand the future growth of the ceramic textile market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Dearth of Skilled Labour

Furthermore, a scarcity of skilled labor and training facilities is impeding market growth. However, if the difference in material composition is greater, the difference in refractive index should be greater, resulting in a lower light transmittance of the entire ceramic. As a result, in order to maintain the quality of the end product, the highly skilled operator must select a proper material composition, such as the crystal boundary region of ceramic textile being thin, better light matching, no porosity and inclusion, and dislocation.

• Selection of Proper Composition

The selection of a proper material composition is one of the most challenging factors to destroy the optical uniformity of ceramic body and cause the scattering of light. 

Moreover, the availability of glass fabrics as an alternative material limits the growth of the ceramic textile market.
