Market Trends of Ceramic Foam Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Ceramic Foams Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Usage in the Automotive Industry
- There is a need to improve the efficiency of automotive to address the functional requirement. An automotive in general consists of many components mainly exterior and interior mirrors, plastic components, fuel tanks, air ducts, de-aeration tanks, valve springs, and exhaust manifold.
- It is essential to increase the fuel efficiency of the vehicles by reducing emissions. Also, these emissions cause harm to environment. Owing to this, exhaust filters are designed with ceramic foams to increase the efficiency of vehicles.
- In 2019, the automotive production witnessed a decline owing to trade war pf US-China and other political reasons. This is expected to continue in the first half of 2020, owing to the weak sales in second half of 2019. However, the automotive industry is likely to recover by the end of 2020.
- In addition, the development of electric vehicles may continue to gain momentum in the upcoming years especially in Europe, China. and United States, where many government programs are promoting a move away from fossil fuels owing to the various environmental concerns.
- Owing to the above-mentioned factors, the market for ceramic foams is likely to grow during the forecast period.
