Ceramic coatings are designed to resist high temperatures, and they do so by expanding into the vapor phase at very high temperatures. This expansion leads to the physical changes needed to make the coating work, and it also leads to greater resistance to abrasion, heat damage, and chemical corrosion. By developing coatings with vapor pressures of hundreds of pounds per square inch, a company has the ability to resist harmful chemicals and vapors at much higher temperatures than would be possible with other types of ceramic technology. Companies that rely upon their applications of high-performance ceramic coatings will also benefit from a detailed report scope covering each of these technologies. Each technology is tested on a variety of substrates and conditions and then compared against the others.
Technological advancements in plasma-sprayed coatings are expected to drive growth of the global high-performance ceramic coatings market. The plasma-sprayed coating has witnessed significant adoption in the recent past. As a matter of fact it also has witnessed major technological advancements as key companies in the market are focused on research and development activities. These coatings are mainly used in advanced oil & gas and metals since high-performance ceramic coatings offer high resistance against extremely high temperature and corrosion. For instance, in April 2020, Precision Spine, a U.S.-based medical technology company, launched ShurFit 2C Interbody Systems, featuring titanium plasma therapy and hydroxyapatite coating. Thus, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global high-performance ceramic coatings market during the forecast period. Furthermore, increasing demand for the external thermal barrier in the aircraft engines is expected to boost the global high-performance ceramic coatings market growth.
However, high cost associated with high-performance ceramic coatings combined with low availability of skilled personnel for applying these types of coatings is expected to hamper the global high-performance ceramic coatings market growth. Among regions, North America is expected to witness significant growth in the global high-performance ceramic coatings market. This is owing to rising expenditure on defense equipment and aerospace in the region. Furthermore, Asia Pacific is expected to register a robust growth rate in the near future, owing to rise in consumption of these coatings in aerospace, automotive, and defense in the region.
Major companies involved in the global high-performance ceramic coatings market are APS Materials Inc., Aremco Products Inc., Bodycote PLC, Cetek Ceramic Technologies Ltd, Praxair Surface Technologies Inc., Saint-Gobain, Kurt J. Lesker Co., and DuPont.
