Rising product adoption in aviation and automotive protective coatings is likely to promote market growth. This substance protects metallic surfaces from prolonged exposure to high temperatures which makes it ideal for various engine components such as cylinder heads, pistons, and exhaust manifolds. In 2022, the automotive market was expected to see global consumption of around 98 million vehicles, representing tremendous growth potential. Rising consumer preferences for attractive and aesthetically pleasing vehicles, as well as a desire to enhance vehicle longevity, should fuel industry growth.
The market is experiencing significant growth driven by several factors, such as booming dental implants industry is a major contributor, as zirconium dioxide's biocompatibility and durability make it an ideal material for high-quality dental implants. Additionally, the rising demand for medical ceramics further fuels market expansion. Zirconium dioxide's exceptional mechanical properties and resistance to wear make it highly desirable in advanced medical applications.
Moreover, the growing demand from foundries and the broader ceramics industry also plays a crucial role. In foundries, zirconium dioxide is used as a refractory material due to its high melting point and stability. In the ceramics sector, its strength and toughness enhance the performance of various products. Collectively, these factors drive the increasing adoption of zirconium dioxide across multiple industries, contributing to the market's growth.
The high cost of various product extraction techniques such as fusing, leaching, precipitation and dissolution has boosted the price of ceramics, dental implants and jewellery based on the product, which should hamper market growth. However, manufacturers are focusing on producing cost-effective dental crowns & bridges while maintaining aesthetic appeal and toughness may further accelerate market growth.
