Product Definition:
Inert Ceramic Balls are balls made from a ceramic material that is non-reactive. They are used in applications where it is important to avoid any contact between the fluid being handled and other materials that could cause a reaction.
Ordinary Porcelain Ball:
Porcelain balls are manufactured using clay and are used as a mold to make ceramic ware. These balls can be fired at up to 1,500 degrees Celsius which gives them the ability to create complex and refined shapes. They also have high strength, thermal shock resistance & low water absorption making them suitable for usage in various industries including building & construction, automotive OEMs and electrical appliances among others.
Inert Alumina Porcelain Ball:
Inert alumina porcelain ball is a type of ceramic material, which consists of aluminum oxide and clay. The product has high thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion property. As a result, it can be used in applications that require low-temperature performance materials.
Application Insights:
The global inert ceramic balls market is segmented on the basis of application into oil & gas, chemical, fertilizer, natural gas and others. The other applications include food & beverage processing and metalworking. Oil & gas was the largest application segment in 2017 with a share of over 40% in terms of revenue as well as volume. Inert ceramic balls are used for various applications including sampling during drilling operations to prevent contamination from shale rock or dirt entering the sample chamber during sampling; they are also used for measuring pressure inside pipelines or wells to check if there is any leakage around joints or valves.
Chemical manufacturing was another prominent segment accounting for a significant share in 2017 owing to its increasing use across several industries such as pharmaceuticals and paints where inertness towards chemicals is required along with precision grinding ability that helps manufacture high-quality products at low costs which has resulted in increased demand over recent years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global inert ceramics market in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising demand from end-use industries such as oil & gas, chemical, fertilizer, mining and other. China is one of the largest producers and consumers of these products globally owing to presence of large scale manufacturers in this country. In addition, increasing number or exploration activities coupled with growing need for enhanced oil recovery are likely to drive product demand further.
North America accounted for a significant share in 2016 owing to high production volume attained by U.S., which was estimated at around 6 million tons that year alone according to OEFC Report 2017–18 by USFEA (U S Field Engineering Education Advisory). Moreover, growing use across various applications including drilling fluids along with requirement for enhanced performance from fracturing fluids are anticipated boost regional growth over next eight years till 2030 time frame.
