Product Definition:
A ceramic microsphere is a small, round piece of ceramic material. They are used in a variety of applications, including as fillers in products like paint and plastic, and as absorbents in filters. Ceramic microspheres have many important properties, including high strength, resistance to heat and corrosion, and good insulation properties.
Additives:
Additives are the materials that are added to ceramic microspheres during its production process. Additives help in increasing the strength of ceramic microspheres and decreasing their size. The most commonly used additive is silica, but there are many others such as metal oxides, alumina, boron nitride among others.
Fillers:
The fillers are the additives that are used to make the ceramic microspheres. The most commonly used filler materials in ceramic microspheres market include glass beads, silica gel, alumina pellets and calcium carbonate among others. The choice of filler material depends on various factors such as type of application (injection molding or compression molding), density desired for finished product and cost among others.
Application Insights:
The film ink production application segment led the global ceramic microspheres market in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The product is used as an additive in film-forming processes, which are used to make films for various applications such as food packaging, flexible electronics, and others.
Ceramic microspheres are also widely utilized in fiberglass production owing to their superior properties including high thermal shock resistance and chemical inertness. In fiberglass manufacturing process, they are used mainly as a filler material when making fibers or ropes of glass with low weight loss. They can also be utilized alone or along with other materials such as carbonates or aramid when making composites for use in industrial components that require high impact resistance & strength along with lightweight properties.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to growing product demand from end-use industries such as packaging, automotive, construction, and mining. China is one of the largest producers of ceramic microspheres owing to low labor costs associated with producing these products.
North America emerged as the second-largest regional market in 2017 on account of high consumption from end-use industries such as paints & coatings, plastics & rubber manufacturing, and printing ink production. Growing demand for ceramics in various industrial applications has resulted in an increased usage by major companies across North America for producing different products including glass fibers; glass matrices used during casting metal alloys; ceramic powder fillers used during molding plastic parts; and blasting agents used during mining operations for excavating tunnels/holes).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the medical and pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery and diagnostic applications
- Rising demand for ceramic microspheres in the cosmetics industry as a carrier for active ingredients and pigments
- Growing use of ceramic microspheres in energy-saving applications, such as insulation materials and catalysts
- Increasing research activities on novel applications of ceramic microspheres
