The Global Zirconia Ceramic Rod Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. The growth in this market is primarily driven by factors such as increased demand from end-use industries and improved product performance, which has led to an increase in the adoption of these products over conventional raw materials.
Zirconia ceramic rod is a kind of zirconium dioxide. It has high thermal stability and excellent corrosion resistance, as well as a low water absorption ratio and good dimensional accuracy. Zirconia ceramic rods are mainly used in the medical device industry for making dental implants or artificial joints, the construction sector for manufacturing engineering bricks, the military equipment industry to manufacture infrared optical windows, etc. There are two types of zirconia ceramics: c-zr and p-zr; C refers to cubic crystals with an orthorhombic crystal form at 0 degrees Celsius while P denotes prismatic crystals with hexagonal form between 0° and 100° Celsius.
On the basis of Type, the global zirconia ceramic rod market is segmented into diameter under 0.07'' (below), diameter between 0.07-0,14'', diameter above 0.14''.
0.00-0.06 in, diameter under 0.07'', also known as zirconia ceramic rods of below size, are mainly used for the production of dental prosthesis and orthodontic appliances; they're also applied to other industries such as medical devices manufacturing or engineering brick manufacturers in the construction sector. The diameter under 0.07'' refers to the thickness of zirconia ceramic rods, which should be less than or equal to one millimeter. The main features of this type are high hardness; good wear-resisting performance; high chemical resistance and corrosion-resistant properties (good temperature stability); not easy decomposition in hydrochloric acid solution with a concentration below 30% HCl at room temperature; it is compatible with platinum, palladium and other noble metals for jewelry production because they have similar thermal expansion coefficient values and can also produce molds used in glassware processing through sintering technology.
0.07-0,14'' diameter ceramic rods are used in the construction industry for a variety of purposes from general filleting to underground tunneling applications where they can be utilized as trench support walls or reinforcement bars. These products have been found extensively in the UK, USA, and Japan's public infrastructure projects such as urban renewal schemes. Other industries that use this range include marine/ offshore engineering companies (for cable protection), petrochemical plants (to reinforce pipelines), and aerospace manufacturers because these materials are able to withstand high temperatures without corrosion like metals do.
The diameter above 0.14'' type of zirconia ceramic rod is the largest size, it has high mechanical strength and thermal stability. They can be used as a substitute for mercury in heating systems to reduce energy consumption; moreover, they are also widely applied in medical devices such as dental crowns and tooth fillings as well as the aerospace industry for manufacturing optical windows that need heat resistance properties. The type of zirconia ceramic rod with a diameter above 0.14'' is for the aerospace industry and military applications, such as missiles and aircraft nose cones.
On the basis of Application, the global zirconia ceramic rod market is segmented into medical devices, aerospace industry, construction sector, automotive industry, and military equipment industry.
Zirconia Ceramic Rods are used in medical devices such as prostheses, artificial joints, and dental implants. It has excellent wear resistance properties which reduce irritation due to prolonged friction among tissues leading to superior biocompatibility with human bone tissue. It also offers great ability in removing bacteria from surfaces such as teeth and implants because it kills bacterial cells without any toxic substances present looking at its toxicity levels similar to that of toothpaste acidity level pH 0-0.14%. This allows zirconia ceramics to be used as fillings and dental restorations.
Zirconia ceramic rods are used in the aerospace industry to make jet turbines, engine ignition systems, and other parts. To improve resistance against corrosion, heat, and erosion. Zirconia ceramics are used in space applications because of their durability and resistance to high temperatures. It is also a perfect candidate for gas turbine blades, airfoils, engine parts, and exhaust components which mostly need to withstand high-temperature conditions.
The construction industry has been using zirconia ceramic rods as an alternative building material due to their excellent strength and thermal characteristics such as low coefficient of linear expansion by up to 0.002 ppm/deg C (NBR) or less than that of silicon carbide at 1400°C, good chemical stability when exposed with acids like HClO from pH=0-14%, KOH from pH = 14 - 25% at room temperature; and high thermal shock resistance. They are used as temporary or permanent supports which counterbalance loads such as columns, beams, walls, and slabs during the construction process. This avoids any load on the supporting structure when these sections are being constructed.
Zirconia ceramic is the most common of all ceramics used in automotive applications, owing to its excellent wear and corrosion-resistant properties. Zirconia ceramic rods are used in the automotive industry for manufacturing fuel injectors. Zirconium oxide is a major component that is difficult to get from other sources and cannot be replaced with another material as well. Powdered zirconium dioxide can also be manufactured by using this type of ceramic rod that melts at high temperatures.
Zirconia ceramic rods are used in the military equipment industry for a variety of applications. The hardness and chemical stability of zirconia ceramic material make it a suitable choice to use as protective wear or armor, especially in situations where protection from ballistic projectiles is desired. Zirconia ceramic materials can also be machined into various shapes such as discs, cylinders, pipes, and bars which increases its versatility on the battlefield. Furthermore, these properties allow zirconia ceramics to make an excellent impedance barrier between two parts that require electrical insulation; this could potentially include coatings or seals.
On the basis of Region, the global zirconia ceramic rod market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America region is anticipated to be a highly competitive market with significant growth potential during the forecast period 2021-2028 owing to surging investments in the construction sector coupled with favorable demand from the automotive industry for zirconia ceramic rods. Asia Pacific region holds massive opportunities due to the increased production of medical devices which require high-quality materials like zirconia ceramic rods; this area has witnessed an increase in demand for superior quality products such as zirconia ceramic rods which are manufactured by companies operating within the region itself.
The growth factors of the global zirconia ceramic rod market are as follows:
- Increase in demand for ceramics rods from medical devices application.
- Increase in the requirement for high strength, resistance to corrosion, and chemical resistant materials.
- Replacement of metal components with ceramic rods due to their lightweight properties. Hence, an increase in demand from the aerospace industry is expected (global aircraft production exceeded 100 million units). However, some manufacturers require a longer life cycle than that offered by current generation materials such as aluminum or titanium which can lead to an increased usage of zirconia ceramic rods. This will result in significant opportunities for products like the Aerospace & Defense Market and increasing demand for Medical Devices Applications.
- Increasing adoption of zirconia ceramic rods in the construction sector for load-bearing purposes as well as replacement of metal components.
- Increasing demand from the automotive industry will lead to a boost in sales volumes and revenue shares owing to increasing adoption by car manufacturers.
