Advanced ceramic materials offer excellent dimensional stability, chemical resistance, strength, shock resistance, and stiffness across a comprehensive range of temperatures. As a result, automotive component and vehicle manufacturers are significantly adopting ceramic as an option to metal, owing to its thermal and electrical properties and mechanical strength. The market is segmented based on material and application. Based on material, the market is classified into alumina oxide ceramics, zirconia oxide ceramics, and others. Alumina oxide ceramics accounts for a potential share in the market. Alumina ceramic substrate is an essential material in the automobile industry as it offers superior comprehensive performance. It is extensively used in automobiles to improve automobile performance, exhaust pollution, and reduce fuel consumption. Additionally, the material is extremely resistant to corrosion and wear. 

Based on the application, the market is classified into automotive engine parts, automotive electronics, automotive exhaust systems, and others. Stringent regulations on vehicle exhaust emission have led the adoption of ceramic materials for applications in automotive exhaust systems to filter out pollutants, particularly in diesel particulate filters. Ceramic filters are cost-effective, robust and long-lasting, and easily produced, which makes it ideal for use in road vehicles.

Geographically, the market is classified into China, Japan, India, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific. India is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period, owing to the increasing automobile production in the country. As per the Invest India, the country’s annual production has been 29.08 million vehicles in 2018, compared to 25.33 million in 2017, which is registering a healthy growth of 14.8%. During the period, April-March 2019, the whole automobile exports increased by 14.5%. Additionally, during the period, April- March 2019, the entire commercial vehicle segment registered a growth of 17.5%.

The emerging automobile manufacturing is attributing to the increasing production of automotive components in the country. Automotive component manufacturing is relatively easy in India compared to Europe and Latin America, as India is the second-largest steel manufacturer of steel globally. This supports to keep costs of automotive parts low in the country. This, in turn, is resulting in the adoption of ceramic materials for the manufacturing of automotive parts, including the production of brake discs owing to their high wear strength and hardness.

Some key players in the market include Kyocera Corp., Morgan Advanced Materials plc, Murugappa Morgan Thermal Ceramics Ltd., NGK Spark Plug Co., Ltd., and CeramTec GmbH. The market players are adopting some key strategies, including partnerships and collaboration, geographical expansion, and product launches, to expand their market share. For instance, in September 2018, NGK Insulators, Ltd. declared the plan to install a new powder manufacturing facility that will make raw materials at the Ishikawa Plant in Nomi City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. It is a manufacturing base for ceramics to purify automotive exhaust. This facility will enable NGK to build a raw materials supply system that will enable to meet the increasing demand focused in Asia.
