Global Demand for Ceramic Textile Set to Swell in Coming Years
A major factor fueling the sales of ceramic textiles is their growing
requirement in the transportation and industrial sectors. Moreover, the
rapid surge of the steel, aluminum, and petrochemical industries is
boosting the global demand for ceramic textile as this material is
extensively used in these industries. Furthermore, ceramic fiber is
heavily required in these industries, owing to which, the boom of these
industries is massively pushing up the demand for ceramic textiles
across the world.
Besides the aforementioned factor, the
widespread usage of ceramic fibers in the alternative energy and
aerospace industries is also positively impacting the sales of ceramic
textiles throughout the world. In these industries, these fibers are
used in various applications such as insulation and gaskets, primarily
on account of their excellent heat resistance characteristics. The rapid
growth of these industries in several countries is a considerably
boosting the requirement for ceramic textiles, which is, in turn,
augmenting the sales of these materials all over the world.
Because of the above-mentioned factors, the revenue of the global ceramic textile market
is predicted to soar in the coming years. Tapes, braids, sleeving,
ropes, and cloth are the most commonly used ceramic textile-based
materials. Amongst these, the usage of ceramic cloth has been
traditionally very high in various industrial applications such as
foundry works, welding, and boiler insulation and seal.
Moreover,
the material is extensively used in refineries, shipyards, chemical
plants, and power plants across the world, on account of its various
characteristics such as the ability to provide excellent performance at
low temperatures and heat insulation.
Because of the
beneficial traits of ceramic cloth, its usage will continue to be very
high in the future years. However, the popularity of the ceramic cloth
will be eclipsed by that of the braids in the coming years, primarily
because of the latter’s ability to offer high resistance to mechanical
abuse. Moreover, the ceramic braids have excellent strength, which makes
them ideal for use in various industrial applications all over the
globe.
Globally, the ceramic textile market
will register rapid growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the
forthcoming years, as per the forecast of P&S Intelligence, a market
research firm based in India. This is attributed to the rapid
industrialization and the mushrooming number of construction and
infrastructural projects being launched in the various APAC nations. In
addition to this, the presence of a thriving transportation sector will
further push up the requirement for ceramic textiles in the region in
the upcoming years.
