ENGINEERING CERAMICS IN EUROPE AND THE USA A MARKET AND STRATEGIC STUDY TO THE YEAR 2016 By John Briggs, Enceram ISBN 1 871677 63 7 (Published June 2011)
•
The markets for engineering ceramics (covering mechanical, medical, environmental and thermal applications) were valued at approximately €2.6 billion ($3.2 billion) in Europe (EU27 countries) and $1.7 billion (€1.4 billion) in the USA in 2010.
•
Consumption of engineering ceramics is expected to reach over €3.1 billion in Europe and over $2 billion in the USA by the year 2016, corresponding to average annual growth rates of 3.1% and 2.7% respectively.
•
Sectors with the highest growth rates are, currently, bioceramics (especially dental ceramics), bearings, membranes and various wear parts in both the USA and Europe, and diesel particulate filters in Europe. Future trends in these and other application areas are analysed in detail.

Production and application technology trends are assessed and new markets emerging between 2011 and 2016 are identified. Recent and on-going research and development activities are discussed, covering both USfunded and EU-funded work. Demand for the various ceramic raw materials are analysed. In addition, market shares of the main ceramics are presented by value and weight. International trade aspects are discussed, and the markets in the USA and European countries are analysed. Overall, Germany consumes about 35% of the European total. The USA is a net importer of engineering ceramics while Europe, especially Germany, produces more than it consumes. The activities of more than 120 companies are reviewed, including new acquisitions and joint ventures. Estimates of their share in the different engineering ceramic product categories are also provided. In the EU and USA, six multinational companies supply about 59% and 67% respectively of the total engineering ceramics demand.
AVAILABLE NOW - Engineering Ceramics in Europe and the USA: A Market and Strategic Study to the Year 2016, a 300-page market report that analyses the European and North American markets for engineering ceramics (also known as advanced ceramics), discusses the demand for various materials and products, and highlights new commercial opportunities. In the recent past, the possibilities offered by engineering ceramics have become recognised across a wide range of industrial applications, where their outstanding properties allow cost savings due to extended component lifespans in duties where metals and other materials may fail. Featuring over 130 tables, the report provides a detailed analysis of the 2010 and projected 2011, 2013 and 2016 markets for engineering ceramics in the USA and Europe (including all EU27 countries), covering ten categories of products. These categories are broken down further into numerous product sub-groups (see Table of Contents on next page). The activities of over 120 companies and their subsidiaries are reviewed, including key financial results and market position. The research and development activities being conducted in both Europe and the USA are also discussed. Trends highlighted in the report include: •

In bioceramics, the proportion of ceramic-on-ceramic hip joints has grown rapidly. Alumina femur heads are widely used whereas zirconia is rarely applied in hip replacements now. Other ceramic prostheses, such as knees, fingers and spinal implants, are also assessed. The demand for ceramic armour (mainly silicon carbide, boron carbide and alumina) in the USA, which expanded very rapidly in 2004-2006, has shrunk dramatically, though modest growth should will be seen in the medium term. European demand for armour remains lower than that of the USA. Catalyst supports in automobile engine exhausts are now ubiquitous in the USA and Europe. However, the market for ceramic filters for diesel-engine automobiles is much bigger in Europe than in the USA. New EU legislation will stimulate demand for these filters in trucks after 2013. Ceramic cutting tool inserts allow high speed cutting and milling of cast iron. Silicon nitride inserts are still gaining market share. Coated versions now form a significant part of the overall market. Hybrid ceramic bearings with silicon nitride balls in steel races now dominate in several applications, such as machine tool spindles and military aircraft engines. Growth rates of over 4% a year are expected. The market for filters for molten metals is growing strongly, though the levels of 2007 have still not been regained. Large quantities of alumina milling media are consumed in the traditional ceramics industry (tiles, whitewares, etc). Demand for ceramic wear parts is expected to see good growth, particularly in those areas where performance over metals leads to long-term cost savings. Specific parts include wear plates, faucet/tap plates, nozzles and valves. In kiln furniture, silicon carbide is still a growing market, whereas the market for cordierite is shrinking. The European market for kiln furniture is three times the size of that in the USA. Ceramic membranes purify water, drinks, gases, pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs. Demand in both geographic areas is growing at 5-6% a year.
These and many other facts and figures are given in Engineering Ceramics in Europe and the USA: A Market and Strategic Study to the Year 2016. The 300page market report is aimed at companies manufacturing engineering ceramic products, as well as ceramic raw materials processors, production/test equipment suppliers, consultants and others interested in this important, dynamic industry.
