The global ceramics market size is anticipated to reach USD 359.35 billion by 2030, registering at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., Rising penetration of ceramics in medical and construction industries is anticipated to propel market growth in the forecast period. Ceramic is any of the numerous brittle, hard, corrosion-resistant, and heat-resistant materials that are manufactured by giving shape, followed by firing a non-metallic, or an inorganic material, such as clay, at a very high temperature. Based on product, the market is segmented into traditional and advanced.
The combination of oxides or non-oxides or the combination of both results in the formation of advanced ceramics. Insulation, magnetism, conduction, and permeability are the characteristics, which allow it to be used in a variety of applications in numerous industries such as defense, aviation, electronics, and medicine.
Based on applications, tiles dominate the global market. Worldwide, the growth in construction activities is propelling the demand for tiles in interior décor due to their attractive appearance and affordability. Tiles are typically created from a combination of red or white clay and other materials and are then glazed. This glaze gives the tile more tensile strength, color, and pattern.
Based on region, Asia Pacific held the largest revenue share of the market in 2022 and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. The increased demand for roof tiles, artware, and tableware in the region is boosting the product demand in the region.
