ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLINESS AND RELIABILITY OF ALUMINA CERAMICS TO BOOST IN THE GLOBAL MARKET
Alumina ceramics is the most advanced engineering ceramics, providing outstanding electrical insulation properties, combined with high hardness and good wear resistance, but with relatively low strength and fracture strength. Alumina Ceramics are usually white but can also be pink (88 percent alumina) or brown (96 percent Alumina). High-purity alumina ceramics are ideal for environments where wear resistance and corrosive substances are necessary. Alumina ceramic has superior thermal stability, which means that it is commonly used in areas where high-temperature tolerance is important. Alumina ceramic is a material of choice for alumina wear components. Proven wear and a heat resistance of alumina wear parts make them suitable for the manufacture of wear-resistant components.
Alumina ceramics are being used in developing regions, as many companies such as Saint Gobain SA, Ceramtec, Morgan Advanced Materials, Kyocera Corporation, and others have their product in this region. Alumina ceramics are used in various applications such as electronics and semiconductors, energy and power, military and defense, automotive, industrial, medical, and others. While the Asia Pacific holds a significant share of the global alumina ceramics market, also emerging economies such as India, China, Japan, and others also represent a high growth rate. The use of aluminum ceramics in electronics and semiconductors for interconnectors, resistors, and capacitors favors this segment’s growth. Packaging materials need to have strong light-shield properties to ensure the visibility of the digital display. However, the growth opportunities for the alumina ceramics market are rising across developing economies owing to the rising demand in the medical industry. Further, several features of alumina ceramics make them useful in environmentally friendly goods. Their ability to withstand the high temperatures has increased their demand for solar energy conversion, photovoltaic (PV), and other power plant engine systems. Development in the renewable energy sector is also expected to drive market growth.
The major players operating in the global alumina ceramics market include Kraft-Heinz, Inc., The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., HiPP GmbH & Co. Vertrieb KG, Lotus Bakeries Corporate, Hero Group, Little Dish, Nestlé SA, Annabel Karmel Group Holdings Limited, Piccolo, Dana Dairy Group and among many others. The major players in the alumina ceramics market are focused on strategies such as mergers and acquisitions and research and development to increase the geographical presence and consumer base globally.
