Based on form, the cordierite market is segmented as cordierite ceramics, cordierite refractories, raw cordierite, cordierite honeycomb structures, others. Cordierite ceramics held a majority market value of USD 0.7 billion in 2022. Cordierite ceramics are valued for their exceptional thermal shock resistance, making them suitable for applications involving rapid temperature changes, such as catalytic converters and kiln furniture.
Based on application, the cordierite market is segmented as kiln furniture, refractory bricks, catalytic converters, foundry applications, glass industry, electrical insulators, cookware and bakeware, water filtration, thermal insulation, others. Kiln furniture held a dominant market share of around 30% in 2022 and is expected to grow at a lucrative pace by 2032. Cordierite's thermal stability and low thermal expansion make it essential for kiln furniture and refractories in ceramic and glass industries, supporting efficient and controlled firing processes.
Based on end-use, the cordierite market is segmented as ceramics, automotive, foundry, glass, electrical, consumer goods, water treatment, construction, others. Ceramic industry held a dominant market share in 2022 and is anticipated to grow at 4.2% CAGR through 2032. Cordierite kiln furniture and components support controlled firing and sintering processes in the ceramics and glass industries, ensuring consistent quality and material properties. Thus, the high-quality services and growing usage of Cordierite at food centres are anticipated to expedite the business growth.
U.S. dominated the North American region with majority market share and a revenue of USD 0.5 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a significant pace from 2023-2032. North America has stringent emission regulations for vehicles and industrial processes. Cordierite-based catalytic converters are essential for reducing harmful emissions and meeting these regulatory standards.
