Ceramic Matrix Composites Market size is poised to cross USD 25 billion by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of approximately 11% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of ceramic matric composites was USD 12 billion. The growth of the sector could be dominated by the growing demand for power generation which is further estimated to be satisfied by wind energy. Wind energy all around the globe generated electricity of about 2099 TWh which is an increase of approximately 13% in the year 2022. Ceramic matrix composites are extensively used in the making of wind turbines. Hence, with the growing demand for wind energy, the market is also estimated to boost.
Additionally, there has been growth in carbon footprint all across the globe which is why governments of different nations are putting emphasis on renewable technology such as wind energy. Hence, they are investing heavily in building wind turbine projects further influencing the market expansion for ceramic matrix composites.
Growth Drivers
In 2022, approximately 66 million automobiles were sold worldwide up from 2021 when the sale was about 65 million units. The application for CMC in automotive sector is growing since they offer benefits including weight reduction and improvement in performance. Various automotive components such as brake discs and engine components consist of ceramic matrix composites.
There has been growing research on the use of ceramic matrix composites in medical instruments such as medical implants, prosthetics, and other devices. The major factors for its growing preference are its biocompatibility and good resistance to bodily conditions.
Between 2017 and 2021, the total number of small satellite launches rose from about 52 to approximately 1,742, representing almost 93 percent of all spacecraft launches. Hence, the market for ceramic matric composite is also slated to rise as this composite provides a heat shield to the spacecraft.

End-Use (Defense & Aerospace, Automotive, Energy & Power, Industrial)
The defense & aerospace segment in the ceramic matrix composites market is poised to grow at a share of 60% over the forecast period. Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are one of the fastest-growing developments in the worldwide aviation business, and they have grown more prevalent in the aerospace industry. Aerospace applications including propulsion, hot primary structures, exhaust, and thermal protection can benefit from CMC materials. Engine valves, turbines, and turbochargers are merely some of the components in aircraft technology that utilize CMCs.
Type [Carbon Reinforced Carbon (C/C), Silicon Carbide Reinforced Silicon Carbide (SIC/SIC), Oxide-Oxide (OX/OX), Silicon Carbide & Carbon (SIC/C)]
The silicon carbide reinforced silicon carbide (SIC/SIC) segment is set to generate a share of 50% by the end of 2035. SiC/SiC matrix composites are a form of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) which has gained prominence given their high-temperature material for usage in applications such as gas turbines as a replacement for metallic alloys. The SiC/SiC CMC can be adjusted to individual conditions by choosing the optimal fiber, fiber coating, fiber architecture, and matrix materials and methods. In recent years, the use of SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites in the energy and power industries has expanded due to their remarkable oxidation and radiation resistance qualities.
