The global transparent ceramics market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.93% over the forecast period to reach a total market size of US$1,687.321 million by 2027, increasing from US$355.287 million in 2020. Transparent ceramics have gotten a lot of attention in the last decade because of their significant contributions to industries like aerospace and defense, consumer electronics, optics and optoelectronics, and so on. The increased demand for their application in sensors and the use of ceramic technology in lasers are expected to be the major factors fuelling the market growth.

Some of the additional factors driving the growth performance of the transparent ceramics market are the growing demand for transparent ceramics as an alternative to traditional glass technologies, growth of the optics and optoelectronic sector, improved efficiency, and the increasing defense expenditure.  Various advancements are being made in this field, like a group of researchers at the University of California have proposed the development of a transparent ceramic window. Implanting this ceramic window in the skull will make possible the noninvasive ultrasound treatment of the brain. Such research and development are further expected to present potential growth opportunities for the transparent ceramics market.

Increasing defense expenditure is driving the market for transparent ceramics during the forecast period.

Transparent ceramics are widely used in sensor windows and night vision systems, among other applications, due to their corrosion resistance and thermal stable ability. Increasing defence expenditure around the globe is expected to drive the growth of the transparent ceramics market during the forecast period.

According to the World Bank report, military expenditure in current USD in China and India has increased from 86.2362 billion and 33.002 billion in 2008 to 249.997 billion and 66.51 billion in 2018, showing a growth rate of nearly 190% and 101% respectively.

Also, with the growing need in defense for transparent armour for personal protection and infrared windows, there have been collaborative efforts by government research laboratories and defense manufacturing science and technology programs to support the manufacturing of aluminium oxy-nitride products providing better systems performance.

Furthermore, transparent ceramic armour provides superior ballistic protection at even less than half the weight and thickness of the traditional form of armour. Due to such benefits and advantages over other forms of materials, the market for transparent ceramics is anticipated to witness substantial growth in the coming years.

Optics & Optoelectronics held one of the largest shares in the market during the forecast period.

By the end-user industry, the transparent ceramics market is segmented into optics and optoelectronics, aerospace and defense, chemicals, healthcare, consumer electronics, and energy, among others.

 Optics and optoelectronics hold a significant share in the global market and growing with the growing application of transparent ceramics in the industry. Rising demand for luxury vehicles and increasing awareness about vehicle safety is driving the optoelectronics market, which is increasing demand for transparent ceramics over the forecast period.

Also, increasing research and development in the fields of optics and optoelectronics technology coupled with the growing demand for electric vehicles around the globe is further anticipated to boost the market for transparent ceramics in the coming years.

The United States is estimated to hold a significant share of the market.

By geography, the global transparent ceramics market has been segmented into the following: North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia Pacific (APAC) regions.

North America accounts for a significant share of the global transparent ceramics market in 2019 and is projected to grow at a significant rate throughout the forecast period. This growth is attributed to the presence of big market players coupled with growing investment in research and development in defence in the region.

According to government sources, in 2017, the United States spent nearly US$55.4 billion on defence research and development, which was more than four times the defence R&D of the rest of the OECD countries combined. In addition, the transparent ceramics market in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness exponential growth owing to the expanding defense industry in developing countries like China and India.

However, the South American transparent ceramics market will witness considerable growth during the forecast period owing to the limited investment in defense and research in the region. Also, Europe is expected to grow at a progressive rate over the forecast period on account of stringent regulation and a decreasing defence budget in many countries.

Covid-19 Impact on Transparent Ceramics Market:

The Covid-19 Pandemic has negatively impacted the overall market growth owing to the stringent govt regulations which have halted various building and construction projects across the globe. The end-use industry of transparent ceramics was severely affected by the pandemic, due to supply chain disruptions. Although the market has seen some growth in the healthcare sector, the rising prevalence of ortho fractures and dental problems has increased transparent ceramics demand in the healthcare sector.

Key Developments:

  • Sept 2021: Indian scientists and researchers has developed transparent ceramics, reaching theoretical transparency through a technique called colloidal processing. The material can be used in thermal imaging applications, especially in harsh service conditions and in helmets, face shields, and goggles.

Competitive Insights
