Fireproof Ceramics Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Forecast, 2013 – 2019 Fireproof ceramics are materials that shed their outer layer in case of fire, thus changing themselves from a polymer to a more fire-resistant ceramic. This ceramic is more stable and less susceptible to high fluctuations in temperature, thus it does not break or crack easily. Fireproof ceramics are used in making fireproof ceramic walls, floor tiles, ceramic paper, and multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC’s) and medical grade ceramics. These products have applications in various industries such as chemicals, explosives, and those sectors which need high-end fireproofing solutions. Lately, fireproof ceramic floorings are also increasingly being used at workplaces and in household construction. Browse Full Report: Fireproof Ceramics Market With the rising demands for viable MLCC’s in smartphones, the Multilayer ceramic capacitors market is expected to grow substantially. Fireproof ceramics are also used in making fireproof ceramic stones which are used in making fireproof walls and floor tiles. One of the key factors contributing to the growth of medical grade ceramics market is the growing demand for cosmetic dentistry and hip replacement implants. At present, China is the biggest manufacturer of fireproof ceramics followed by Ukraine. The rest of the major manufacturers of fireproof ceramics include Italy, India, Latin America and Middle Eastern countries. Some of the advantages which drive the demand for fireproof ceramics include their durability, moisture resistance, resistance to abrasion, chemical resistance, color permanence, visual appeal and hygiene. One of the major constraints in the use of fireproof ceramics is that these materials require a lot of maintenance and their replacement can be costly in case of damge or breakage. Some of the market players in this industry are JIA Inc., Saint-Gobain Ceramics and Plastics Ltd., Zibo Jiuchen Co. Ltd., Rodabell Group, Jagdamba Minerals among others. The major consumers of fireproof ceramics include developed countries with huge industrial base such as United States, Ukraine and developing countries in Asia Pacific, Middle East and Latin America.
