Ceramic Balls Market: Growth Drivers

The global ceramic balls market is expected to witness substantial growth over the forecast period, owing to the increasing use of ceramic balls across various end-user industries, such as automotive and chemical. The manufacturing of ceramic balls includes pressing of ceramic powder binder in a preformed shape. The balls are then sintered and part lines are eliminated via a finishing grinder. A hot isostatic pressing is used after sintering the ceramic balls for various applications, which require dense materials with specific properties. Ceramic balls are used in various engineering operations, such as grinding and milling. Ceramic balls are comparatively lighter than traditional steel balls.

They also offer better resistance to high temperature, corrosion, and heat, which makes them useful in various end-use industries. The superior properties offered by ceramic balls and their increasing use in the automotive industry are major drivers of the global ceramic balls market. However, high production cost may hamper the global ceramic balls market growth.

Ceramic Balls Market: Segmentation

The global ceramic balls market is fragmented into function, material, application, and end-use industry.

The function segment of the market includes active and inert.

Based on material, the ceramic balls market includes silicon, alumina, zirconia, and others. The silicon-based ceramic balls are projected to register the highest growth rate in the years ahead, owing to their wide applications and superior properties like resistance to high temperature, low density, and abrasion resistance. These are used in various industries, such as aerospace, automotive, and chemical. Ceramic balls are also used in vales, bearing, and grinding.

On the basis of application, the ceramic balls market includes bearing, grinding, valve, and others. The bearing segment is expected to register the highest growth rate, as ceramic balls are harder than metals and help in reducing the contact with bearing tracks. This makes them ideal for bearing applications. Additionally, the high performance of ceramic balls in bearing applications is also driving the ceramic balls segment growth.

Automotive, chemical, aerospace, and others comprise the end-use industry segment of the global ceramic balls market. The automotive segment along with aerospace segment is expected to grow at the highest rate. In the automotive industry, ceramic balls are used in bearings, valves, and turbochargers. The aerospace manufacturers depend on ceramic balls for varied applications, such as navigation systems, gyroscopes (gyros), avionic instruments, flow meters, and other aerospace parts.
