Thermal Ceramics Market Size, Share, and COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Type (Ceramic Fibers and Insulation Bricks), By End-use (Mining & Metal Processing, Chemical & Petrochemical, Manufacturing, and Power Generation), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Thermal ceramics are quick and easy to install and offer cost reduction & easy maintenance. These ceramics provide resistance to thermal shock, thermal insulation, temperature expansion, and have high tolerance to high temperature applications as they have chemical stability. In addition, resistance to alkaline and acidity also offers significant benefits.

The large-scale application of the product in process heaters, ceramic heaters, and high-temperature filtering products is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, thermal ceramic is used in a number of industries due to its lightness, low thermal conductivity features, enhanced flexibility, and wide thermal conductivity. The product finds widespread use in mining & metal processing, petrochemical, and power generation. The market growth is hampered by the carcinogenic nature of the product and the environmental concerns about refractories.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Thermal Ceramics Market

The ceramics industry was also experiencing a significant downfall due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prominent end-user industries reduced their productivity due to staff shortages, unavailability of raw materials, and other transportation & logistics problems. Particularly in the automotive industry, manufacturing industries were facing serious problems that impacted the growth of the thermal ceramics industry.

However, with power generation, the chemical industry was gaining demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, as the situation led to an increase in demand. This was supporting the overall growth of the thermal ceramics industry during the pandemic.
