Summary
US demand to rise 5 annually through
2017 Demand for advanced ceramics in the US is
forecast to rise more than five percent annually
to 13.5 billion in 2017. Gains will be driven by
the development of new applications for advanced
ceramics and by their increased adoption in
already established applications based on
superior performance and material properties.
These trends will be most pronounced in the
machinery, transportation, and medical markets,
all of which will grow at an above average pace.
Growth will accelerate in the large electrical
and electronic components markets, while the
defense market will remain below its 2007 peak
and will not approach the double-digit annual
growth exhibited in the past 10 years.

Medical market to be fastest growing New
bioceramic applications such as knee, orbital
eye, and dental implants will help drive the
medical product market at a double-digit annual
pace over the forecast period, the fastest pace
of any market. A shift in preference by the
medical community toward ceramic products in
existing orthopedic (especially hip) uses will
support rising demand as well, as competing
materials, such as plastics and titanium, lose
share to bioceramics. The key drivers of demand
in transportation markets will be due to rising
heavyduty truck production and engine parts, plus
increased use of particulate filters.

Automotive engines face rising efficiency
standards that can be met externally through
catalysts and filters and internally through
higher, more efficient operating pressures. These
high-pressure, hightemperature operating
environments further advanced ceramics demand
because they require parts that offer greater
compressive strength and wear resistance than
traditional materials --such as metal -- can
provide. Increasingly, industrial machinery and
advanced manufacturing processes require
bearings, wear parts, and tools that will remain
operational even under the harshest or most
demanding environments. Ceramic materials benefit
in these situations due to their superior
performance attributes
5
Growth in demand may also benefit from a general
shift toward onshoring of advanced manufacturing
production as the need for efficiency and global
competitiveness is driving the adoption of more
advanced material solutions, often involving
ceramics. Electronic, electrical markets to
remain largest consumers The electronic and
electrical markets will remain two of the largest
consumers of advanced ceramics, though both will
experience modest advances due to a confluence of
factors including US market maturity, product
commoditization, and increased global
competition. Still, the pace of growth will
accelerate through 2017 as manufacturers work to
improve their competitiveness. Additionally, some
electronics manufacturing will return to the US
as companies work to reduce product development
times and facilitate greater levels of
customization.
