The global ceramic matrix composites market size is likely to attain over USD 15.6 billion by the year 2028. Besides, it is likely to project a CAGR of nearly 11.4% during the forecast years 2021-2028. 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 present and future ceramic matrix composites market progress is summarized to conclude the attractiveness of the entire market. Also, prime factors that influence the ceramic matrix composites market opportunities during the forecast years. Properties such as the high-temperature stability, exceptional mechanical properties, and vast scope of applications offered by Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC), are the key factors driving the market growth for ceramic matrix composites.

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.
