Market Overview:
The Global Expended and Vitrified Ball Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for medical instruments, alloy, electroplate, and other applications across the globe. In terms of type, the nanoscale expended and vitrified ball segment is projected to witness highest growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its superior properties such as high hardness, low wear rate, and excellent corrosion resistance as compared to other types of balls. By application, medical instruments segment is projected to account for majority share in terms of revenue in 2018 followed by alloy segment.
Product Definition:
Expended Ball is a type of ceramic ball that is used to make grinding media. It is made by heating and then cooling a clay body in an oven. The result is a ball that has been vitrified, or turned into glass. Expended Ball has low porosity and therefore produces less wear on the milling equipment than other types of grinding media.
Nanoscale Expended and Vitrified Ball:
Nanoscale Expended and Vitrified Ball (NVEB) is a new material type, which has been created by high temperature and high pressure processing of ceramics. Nanoscale Expended and vitrified ball consists of particles having a size between 1 to 100 nanometers. These balls are made from materials such as alumina, silica, zirconia-based ceramic or titania-based ceramic.
Micron Level Expended and Vitrified Ball:
The Micron level spent and vitrified ball are used in the market for the production of glass beads, specialty glass products, fiberglass reinforced plastic products and other industrial applications. The process flow includes melting of base materials such as sand or ceramics by high temperature furnace to produce final product which is then transferred to be drieder where it is further divided into two parts namely micron level spent material and vitrified ball.
Application Insights:
The global expenditure and vitrified ball market has been segmented on the basis of application into medical instruments, alloy, electroplate, and others. The medical instrument segment accounted for a major share in 2015 as a result of increasing demand for high-quality balls from various end-use industries such as healthcare equipment manufacturing.
Electroplating is one of the most popular applications globally due to rising demand from end-user industries such as electrical & electronics manufacturing. Other popular applications include ceramic tiles industry (expended) and glass industry (vitrified). Asia Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization coupled with growing spending power in China India Japan regions. Latin America also holds promising growth opportunities due to its rapidly growing economies such as Brazil which are investing significantly in their infrastructure development including transportation systems thereby promoting product consumption over the next few years.
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 rising product demand from end-use industries such as medical, automotive, industrial machinery and others. In addition, growing population coupled with increasing healthcare expenditure in emerging economies such as China and India are anticipated to drive product demand further.
The presence of a large number of manufacturers coupled with low labor cost has attracted many foreign investors in China which resulted into establishment of numerous manufacturing facilities for expended & vitrified balls across this country. For instance, according to SEGWAY INC., it had manufactured more than 50 million spheres till 2016 at its facility located at Anshun city in Guizhou province before shifting its production base outside China due to unfavorable policies by Chinese government towards FDI flow (foreign direct investment).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and aerospace industries for high-performance ball bearings
- Growing popularity of electric vehicles, which require more efficient and durable ball bearings
- Rising demand for renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar panels, which also require high-quality ball bearings
- Increasing investment in research and development by bearing manufacturers to develop new products and technologies
- Growing global population, which is resulting in increased demand for consumer goods that rely on ball bearings
