A major factor fueling the sales of ceramic textiles is their growing requirement in the transportation and industrial sectors. Moreover, the rapid surge of the steel, aluminum, and petrochemical industries is boosting the global demand for ceramic textile as this material is extensively used in these industries. Furthermore, ceramic fiber is heavily required in these industries, owing to which, the boom of these industries is massively pushing up the demand for ceramic textiles across the world.
Besides the aforementioned factor, the widespread usage of ceramic fibers in the alternative energy and aerospace industries is also positively impacting the sales of ceramic textiles throughout the world. In these industries, these fibers are used in various applications such as insulation and gaskets, primarily on account of their excellent heat resistance characteristics. The rapid growth of these industries in several countries is a considerably boosting the requirement for ceramic textiles, which is, in turn, augmenting the sales of these materials all over the world.
Because of the above-mentioned factors, the revenue of the global ceramic textile market is predicted to soar in the coming years. Tapes, braids, sleeving, ropes, and cloth are the most commonly used ceramic textile-based materials. Amongst these, the usage of ceramic cloth has been traditionally very high in various industrial applications such as foundry works, welding, and boiler insulation and seal. Moreover, the material is extensively used in refineries, shipyards, chemical plants, and power plants across the world, on account of its various characteristics such as the ability to provide excellent performance at low temperatures and heat insulation.
Because of the beneficial traits of ceramic cloth, its usage will continue to be very high in the future years. However, the popularity of the ceramic cloth will be eclipsed by that of the braids in the coming years, primarily because of the latter’s ability to offer high resistance to mechanical abuse. Moreover, the ceramic braids have excellent strength, which makes them ideal for use in various industrial applications all over the globe.
Globally, the ceramic textile market will register rapid growth in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region in the forthcoming years, as per the forecast of P&S Intelligence, a market research firm based in India. This is attributed to the rapid industrialization and the mushrooming number of construction and infrastructural projects being launched in the various APAC nations. In addition to this, the presence of a thriving transportation sector will further push up the requirement for ceramic textiles in the region in the upcoming years.
Therefore, it can be said without any hesitation that the sales of ceramic textiles will shoot-up throughout the world in the years to come, mainly because of the growing usage of ceramic fibers, clothing, and braids in the construction sector and the transportation, petrochemicals, aerospace, alternative energy, steel, and aluminum industries. In addition to this, the rapid industrialization in several countries will further augment the demand for ceramic textiles in the near future.
