Study Predicts Steady Rise in US Demand for Advanced Ceramics
A new study from The Freedonia Group (Cleveland, OH, USA) – 'Advanced Ceramics' – predicts that US advanced ceramics demand will grow 7% annually through until 2010. Electronic components and electrical equipment will remain dominant but mature markets. The best opportunities for ceramics include ballistic armour, ceramic composite automotive brakes, diesel particulate filters, joint replacement products and piezoceramic sensors.This study analyses the $8.6 billion US advanced ceramics industry. It presents historical demand data (1995, 2000, 2005) and forecasts to 2010 and 2015 by type (e.g., alumina, titanate, ferrite, zirconate, silicon carbide, cordierite, beryllia, silicon nitride); product (e.g. monolithics, coatings, matrix composites); process and market (e.g. electronic components, electrical equipment, industrial machinery, transportation equipment, chemicals and plastics, pollution control).
The study also considers market environment factors, details industry structure, evaluates company market share and profiles 30 major producers including Kyocera, Corning, Saint-Gobain, Vishay Intertechnology, CoorsTek, NGK Insulators, Morgan Crucible and Cookson.
This Freedonia study is currently for sale only as a full edition in print or PDF format. It will be available for purchase by the page or chapter at around the end of February 2007.
The study (Freedonia code number 2134) has 226 pages and costs US$4,400. When sections become available for separate purchase, they will be priced from US$30 each.
