Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Ceramics Market?
The expansion of the construction industry is set to significantly contribute to the development of the ceramics market. A swift surge in urbanization is leading to increased construction activities in both advanced and developing nations, escalating the demand for ceramics and related items. For instance, a recent report from the Office for National Statistics, United Kingdom in November 2023 revealed that the worth of construction work amplified by 15.8% to reach $161,129 million USD (£32,989 million) in 2022, while new orders have escalated by 11.4% to $97,813 USD (£80,837 million) in 2023. This increase in construction activity is stoking the demand for ceramics and related products, which play a crucial role in numerous construction applications, like tiles and sanitary ware. Consequently, the expansion in the construction industry is driving forward the ceramics market.

What Trends are Shaping the Ceramics Market?
Advancements in technology are a growing trend within the ceramics market. Innovations like 3D printing contribute significantly to the evolution of technology in this industry. For example, in September 2024, an Austria-based company called Lithoz, which specializes in the development and production of high-performance and bioresorbable ceramics using their unique Lithography-based Ceramic Manufacturing (LCM) technology, unveiled the CeraMax Vario V900. This 3D ceramic printer, which boasts the largest capacity in its class, features a build volume of 250 x 250 x 290 mm. It operates on Laser-Induced Slipcasting (LIS) technology, using water-based ceramic slurries, and is capable of layering up to 1,000 µm of slurry, which significantly increases printing speed and efficiency. The device also streamlines the debinding process, enabling the creation of thicker walls and a perfect density in the final products. This innovative technology is ideal for creating high-quality, large-scale ceramic parts, catering to industries like aerospace, medical, and research.
