The market is primarily driven due to the encouraged use of bio-based insulation materials. These materials help in reducing energy consumption in several end-user industries. The industrial sector accounts for approximately XX% of the total fuel consumption globally and approximately XX% of the total energy used in industrial processes is wasted due to various reasons. Poor heat management in conversion processes accounts for XX% to XX% of the total energy lost in industrial processes. These factors are boosting the demand for products made of ceramic fibers due to their low thermal conductivity, low heat storage and high thermal resistant properties. Light weight, low conductive ceramic fiber helps in conserving energy by preventing the escape of heat from furnaces and kilns. It helps in saving up to XX% of energy, thereby reducing the overall production cost.

In 2018, Petrochemicals accounted for the largest revenue share of market in terms of End Users segment. Petrochemicals are crucial for manufacturing paints, rubbers, plastics, textiles, solvents, detergents, dyes, and other synthetic materials. Temperature insulation materials aid in conserving energy and reduce operational costs and are therefore in high demand from the petrochemical industry. Ceramic fiber products are manufactured to withstand the tough and corrosive manufacturing conditions of the petrochemical production. Additionally, Petrochemicals segment is expected to be the grow at a highest CAGR during the forecast period. The ceramic fibers primarily used in boilers, fired heaters, and fluid catalytic cracking units (FCCUs) offer effective solution for energy requirements in petrochemical industry. The high growth of petrochemical industry has been a supporting factor for the increasing applications of ceramic fibers in the above mentioned applications. Further, the evolution of coal gasification and shale gas production are also elevating the overall consumption of ceramic fibers in the petrochemical industry.

However, regulations regarding the use of ceramic fibers and their adverse effects on the health and environment pose a challenge to the market’s growth. These fibers can irritate the skin, mucus membranes, and are proven to cause lung cancer and mesothelioma. Workers engaged in the manufacturing of RCFs often reported many adverse health effects. Epidemiological investigations of individuals working with ceramic fibers have revealed a small excess of pleural plaques. These adverse effects of RCFs are posing a challenge to the market growth. Further, the fluctuating costs of raw materials pose a threat to the market growth. The trending applications of bio-based insulation materials may also pose a threat to the market growth.
