Ceramic matrix composites (CMCs) are transforming the market for advanced ceramics, especially in applications requiring high performance, such as aerospace and energy. The materials, commonly fiber-reinforced with silicon carbide, exhibit superior strength, thermal stability, and wear resistance, which suits them well to harsh environments. These are ideal for harsh environments. In contrast to conventional ceramics, CMCs counteract brittleness through the incorporation of a toughening matrix, thereby increasing durability while maintaining lightweight qualities. In the electrical and electronics industry, CMCs are increasingly being adopted for their high-temperature resistance and insulation properties in state-of-the-art devices. For example, silicon carbide-based CMCs are employed in turbine engines and electronic components, where heat management is paramount. Increased demand for reliable, efficient materials for these sectors is fueling investment and research, making CMCs a cornerstone of future technology. As sustainability becomes increasingly important, their resistance to degradation and their extended lifespan make them ever more attractive to a range of sectors.

Ceramic coatings are revolutionizing the market for advanced ceramics by offering improved performance and lifespan of electrical and electronics industry components. Coatings, commonly produced from material such as alumina, deliver a protective coat that is corrosion, abrasion, and heat shock resistant. In electronics technology, alumina-based ceramic layers are applied for insulating circuit boards and semiconductors for heat expulsion and insulation of small, powerful devices. For being stable during extreme conditions, they are a valuable commodity during the manufacturing process of long-lasting consumer electronics as well as industry machinery. Outside of electronics, ceramic coatings are also utilized in the automotive and aerospace industries, where silicon carbide types enhance engine efficiency by lowering friction and wear. The variability of these coatings is due to their adaptable characteristics, which are specifically designed for individual requirements such as conductivity or dielectric strength. With industries striving for miniaturization and optimization, the market for ceramic coatings remains on the rise, solidifying their position in contemporary engineering.
