?In addition, ceramic foams provide high-performance sound insulation, catalytic support, and pollution control. Furthermore, expansion in the construction, chemical industries, and electronics industry in emerging economies will further boost the ceramic foam market during the foreseen period?, said Kevin Rose, Senior analyst, in WK Research.
Product Introduction:
Ceramic foam is created from many types of oxidized and non-oxidized ceramics, such as aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, and silicon carbide, and has a low thermal conductivity, higher filtration capabilities, and endurance to high temperatures. It?s used for a variety of things, including pollutant absorption, molten alloy filtering, and acoustic and thermal insulation. Ceramic foam is a form of foam that is made of ceramic. Ceramic foams are brittle porous materials with partially linked, totally open, or closed porosity. Ceramic foams are manufactured from a variety of oxidized and non-oxidized ceramic materials.
Market insight:
The rising demand for ceramic foams in various end-use industries, owing to a variety of benefits associated with their use, such as low weight, high-temperature stability, high permeability, high porosity, and low thermal conductivity, are the main key factors driving the global market for ceramic foams. Other factors likely to drive target market expansion, include strict pollution control rules and an increasing need for thermally insulated and soundproof residential and non-residential infrastructure.
A crucial element in the expansion of the market is the growing use of ceramic foams in metal smelting. Metal smelting is a manufacturing method in which molten or liquid metal is poured into a cavity of the required shape in sand, metal, or ceramic mold. This chamber contains molten metal and generates complex geometric formations when cooled. The growing demand for thermal and acoustic insulation materials for residential and non-residential structures is expected to fuel market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the ceramic foam market. Various end-use industries have experienced difficulties due to slow growth, disturbed supply chain and low productions. The ceramic foam components are used in automotive such as particulate filters, catalyst support, exhaust filters, spark and glow plugs, PTC heaters, and others. The automotive industry was one of the major affected sectors. The rising cost of raw materials for the manufacture of ceramic foam can become a challenge to the ceramic foam industry. The absence of repair and longer production cycles are creating a problem for the growth of the ceramic foam market. The production includes finding suitable foam, slurry preparations with the right proportions, sponge commencement, drying, baking, and then the sintering process, which is a complex list of steps. Furthermore, the availability of substitution in comparatively lower costs can become a major challenge to the demand and growth of ceramic foams.
Competition Landscape:
In November 2020, the foam partners, Swiss Conzzeta AG was acquired by Recticel with the goal to strengthen the position in Europe specialty foam market and also to get the growth in APAC and other markets. This WK Research market report is designed to help clients improve their market position, and in line with this, this report provides a detailed analysis of several leading ceramic foam companies that include: Selee, Pyrotek, Ultramet, Foseco, Ferro- Term, Drache, LANIK, Shandong, Jincheng Fuji, FCRI Group.
Segmentation of Ceramic Foam Market:
According to the type, the market for ceramic foam is divided into: Silicon Carbide, Aluminum Oxide, Zirconium Oxide, and Others. Silicon Carbide is the dominant segment of the Ceramic Foams Market. Silicon carbide is an advanced-grade ceramic that is used to make foams. Silicon carbide is the chosen material for ceramic foams in the iron casting application due to properties such as minimal thermal expansion, high strength, great thermal shock resistance, high wear resistance, and strong chemical resistance. As a result, these factors are projected to increase the demand for silicon carbide-based ceramic foams.
According to the application, the market for ceramic foam is divided into: Molten Metal Filtration, Furnace Lining, Automotive Exhaust Filters, Thermal and Acoustic Insulation, and Others. Molten Metal Filtration is the dominant segment and accounted for the largest market share. The increased need for iron, steel, and aluminum casting across all industrial verticals is driving this Segments growth. This trend is responsible for the increased use of ceramic foams in molten metal filtration, which is pushing the segment forward.
Ceramic Foam Market: Regional Analysis
In terms of geography, the global ceramic foam market has been segmented into: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, South America, and the Middle East and Africa. The Asia Pacific is the dominant region for Ceramic Foams Market.
