Advanced ceramics are scaling fast enough that the market backdrop already looks different from a typical industrial cycles narrative. Global ceramic materials reached USD 65.2 billion and are forecast to hit USD 98.2 billion by 2030, while advanced ceramics move from USD 45.7 billion in 2023 to USD 74.8 billion by 2030 and even structural ceramics expand to USD 59.6 billion.
