The steady increase in demand for consumer electronics, the improvement of technologies, and the increase in the size of the market of semiconductor products strengthen the leading position of this segment.
Alumina Ceramics is the largest material segment primarily due to the cost nature, applicability, and solidity of the ceramic’s material type. Ceramic material with high hardness, wear and heat resistance, and electrical insulation characteristics is intended for electronics, aerospace, medical, and industrial fields due to its high alumina content. The vast use and relatively lower cost of silicon carbide compared to other advanced ceramics due to its high cost make it the most preferred material for many high-performance applications hence, having a large market share in the specialty advanced ceramics market.
