It’s being expected that by 2028, the Ceramic Matrix Composites market cap will hit USD 12,532.42 Million at a CAGR growth of about 9.63%.
Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are defined as a group of composite materials consisting of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix. Ceramic materials are inorganic and nonmetallic solids, which are crystalline in nature. CMCs exhibit improved crack resistance and do not rupture easily under heavy loads as compared to conventional technical ceramics.
The global ceramic matrix composites market size is predicted to reach over USD 15.6 billion by 2028. This can be ascribed to the high-temperature stability, exceptional mechanical properties, and vast scope of applications offered by Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC). Growing demand, especially from defense applications such as, sensor protection, infrared domes, and multi-spectral windows are projected to spur the growth. Besides, rapid growth in automotive sector across developing economies such as India and China and increase in demand for ceramic matrix composites owing to their low weight, high friction, and temperature-resistant properties are the key factor that fuel the growth of the ceramic matrix composites market.
However, high cost of CMCs as compared to other metal alloys is hampering the market growth. Furthermore, incorporation of low-cost production technologies is likely to provide lucrative development opportunities for the ceramic matrix composites market in the forthcoming years. Growing demand from aviation industry is expected to propel the demand. Several global companies are investing in the developing countries to cater to the growing need for these composites from various application industries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
Over the past few decades, surge in demand for lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles has increased the need for ceramic matrix composites in the automotive industry, thereby driving the market growth. CMCs exhibit improved crack resistance and do not rupture easily under heavy loads as compared to conventional technical ceramics.
Ceramic matrix composites (CMC) are generally made from ceramic fibers or whiskers embedded in a ceramic matrix. These ceramics cover a varied range of inorganic materials that are usually non-metallic and commonly used at high temperatures. These composites were developed for applications with demanding thermal and mechanical requirements, such as in aerospace vehicles, nuclear industries, ground transportation, space structures and chemical industries.
Furthermore, Make in India Initiative, 100% FDI in automotive, and One Belt One Road Initiative are appealing major players to establish their production as well as distribution facilities in Asia Pacific. Energy and power segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR over the next seven years. Excess consumption of oil in Asia Pacific has encouraged the need for energy security with a focus on deriving energy from alternative sources which include natural gas. Ceramic matrix composites are thus likely to play a significant role in this segment.
The market is consolidated as several major market players currently hold the major market share. However, the market is expected to become fragmented in the forthcoming years as several new market players are emerging from developing countries such as India, Japan, China, and other countries.
