Ceramic materials have been used for thousands of years, but their uses have expanded significantly in modern times, making them an integral part of many modern technologies.  Ceramic materials are known for their unique properties that make them ideal for a wide variety of applications. They are very hard and strong, with high wear and corrosion resistance. It is an excellent insulator, both electrically and thermally, and can withstand high temperatures without decomposing. Additionally, ceramics are biocompatible, making them ideal for use in medical devices and implants. These properties make ceramics an integral part of many modern technologies, from aerospace to electronics to healthcare. 

Growing Usage of Advanced Ceramics in Healthcare Sector
Bio ceramics refers to a class of ceramic materials used to repair or replace damaged bone tissue. They offer many advantages such as biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and dimensional stability endodontic applications. Bio ceramics are mainly used as medical implants, in loose form or as coatings and fillers. Orthopedic surgeries using bio ceramic implants surgically include hard tissue replacements such as hips, knees, joints, skulls, jaws, and spines. With the aging of the world population, the use of bio ceramics has become popular.

Advanced ceramic materials are represented by dental ceramics, including orthodontic appliances (such as braces), prosthetics (such as crowns and bridges), and implants (such as all-ceramic root implants). Materials currently used in common dental ceramic systems are silica, leucite, lithium disilicate, alumina, and zirconia-based materials. It has excellent toughness, strength, fatigue resistance, as well as excellent wear resistance and biocompatibility. In addition, ceramic materials aesthetically match the natural color of teeth and perform better than traditional metal products. Additionally, these advanced ceramics are lighter than most metals, making them suitable for medical applications and capable of withstanding a combination of extreme conditions for extended periods of time. This drives market demand for the Advanced Ceramics Material Market.

Role of Advanced Ceramics in Aerospace Industry:
Advanced ceramics have some properties superior to metal-based systems when used as engineering materials. These properties include high wear resistance, excellent high temperature strength, chemical inertness, high processing speed, and dimensional stability. Its hardness, physical stability, extreme heat resistance, chemical inertness, excellent electrical properties, and suitability for mass production make it one of the most versatile materials. Advanced ceramics are used in aerospace, where turbine blades are used to withstand conditions of extreme temperatures and pressures. These favorable properties make high-performance ceramics the best alternatives to metals and plastics. Additionally, these advanced ceramics are lighter than most metals, making them suitable for medical applications and capable of withstanding a combination of extreme conditions for extended periods of time, thus driving market demand for the Advanced Ceramic Material.

Usage in Automotive Industry
Recent advancements in battery technology place new demands on thermal management systems. Next-generation hybrid vehicles can use ceramic materials for various substrates in batteries, electric motors, charger thermal management, and high and low voltage circuit carriers. Additionally, precision-machined ceramic shafts and bearings would be used in next-generation hybrid vehicle water cooling pumps to cool critical engine electronics and lithium-ion batteries. Ceramic products not only have excellent chemical resistance to glycol-based coolants and a long service life, but contribute to improved fuel efficiency and quietness due to their light weight. For example, boron carbide ceramics are used in automotive brake pads, and silicon carbide ceramics are used in high performance brake discs due to their ability to withstand extreme temperatures.

Use in Electronic Industry
A substrate is a thin, flat fired material. Ceramics have excellent thermal and dielectric properties, making them suitable materials for substrates. There are three types of ceramic substrate materials which are widely used namely are aluminum oxide (Al2O3), aluminum nitride (AlN), and beryllium oxide (BeO). Ceramic substrates have the advantages of low dielectric constant and dielectric loss, high thermal conductivity and high chemical stability. Ceramic electronic sensors are often used in machines and systems that  meet high requirements as ceramic materials combine high strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance. It mainly monitors non-electrical variables such as temperature, pressure, flow, distance, acceleration, moisture content and gas concentration, and converts these variables to electrical signals for processing in downstream electronics. Quartz glass is the most widely used ceramic in the semiconductor industry. Applications in the semiconductor industry include silicon ingot pulling crucibles, silicon epitaxial deposition reactors, wafer carriers, single wafer processing equipment, wet etch tanks, and complex machined parts. Aluminum oxide is electrically and thermally insulating. Widely used in semiconductor wafer processing equipment. Silicon nitride ceramic ball bearings are one of the traditional applications in the semiconductor industry.

Latest developments and investment fueling the Global Advanced Ceramics Market growth during the forecast period
Most of the medical devices manufactured in India are disposable products such as catheters, irrigation sets, extension lines, cannulae, feeding tubes, needles, syringes and cardiac stents, drug eluting stents, intraocular lenses and orthopedic implants. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian medical device market was valued at USD12 billion by 2020 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 15%. This is 2.5 times global growth rate. India is fourth largest medical device market in Asia after Japan, China and South Korea, and is among the top 20 medical device markets in the world. Diagnostic Imaging Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 13.5% from 2020 to 2025.

In 2021, Kyocera Corporation announced that it would build two more manufacturing facilities at its Kokubu factory campus in Kagoshima prefecture. The new facility would double the capacity of the campus for fine ceramic components used in its semiconductor manufacturing facility as Kyocera expands, while freeing up space for other manufacturing areas. Kyocera is increasing production of fine ceramics parts that are in high demand for use in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The company expects to start production at the No. 7-2 plant in October 2023.

In 2022, Bosch Advanced Ceramics collaborated with the chemical company BASF and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) to develop a 3D-printed microreactor made of engineered ceramic materials. A microreactor is a small device designed to contain and facilitate chemical reactions. To withstand the extreme conditions generated by these reactions, microreactors must be stable under both high heat and corrosive conditions, but few materials offer such properties. Bosch Advanced Ceramics combines its expertise in ceramic technology with additive manufacturing for unique applications. This microreactor is used by BASF for routine research applications and allows chemical reactions to be monitored under the required temperature conditions.
