The Ceramic Coating Market Size was valued at USD 10.42 Billion in 2022. The Ceramic Coating industry is projected to grow from USD 11.01 Billion in 2023 to USD 19.19 Billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.8% during the forecast period (2023 - 2030). Ceramics are used as transparent conductive coatings (TCOs) when making solar panels. At present, TCOs are primarily based on indium-tin-oxide (ITO), which is by far the most common TCO, followed by aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) and tin oxide (FTO) doped with fluorine. Butvskite-based solar cells are also being produced as the next generation of photovoltaic high-efficiency cells. This ceramic solar panel coating protects the panel glass from salt spray or mineral particles from corrosion and staining. Such coatings can also be used on solar mirrors to withstand harsh conditions from subzero to extremely hot environments. The installation of solar photovoltaic systems in residences, commercial buildings, and industrial plants is likely to expand during the forecast period. Thus, the growing usage of solar panels is likely to boost demand.

Ceramic Coating Market Trends
The aviation sector primarily includes commercial aircraft manufacture, selling, and operation, whereas defense relies on the nation's need for military weapons and systems designed for land, sea, and air operations. In 2019, the commercial aerospace industry encountered reductions in deliveries due to production-related problems in some aircraft models. For the commercial space industry, 2020 is likely to be a year of major milestones as the sector may see steady investment in new and established space technologies. Although the growth of the aerospace & defense industry is primarily driven by the U.S., over the past years few other countries such as China, France, India, Japan, the Middle East & Africa, and the UK have been contributing to the industry's success.Â
Additionally, For aircraft propulsion, auxiliary power systems, and other applications, turbine engines are mostly used. Thermal barrier coatings are isolating ceramic layers that are applied in a heat engine to metallic constituents. The low conductivity ceramic coatings insulate the underlying portion of air-cooled from the engine's hot gases. Ceramic coatings applied on gas turbine engines to airfoils have lowered the temperature of components by as much as 1900 C.
Ceramic coatings are used as an incremental approach to improving the thrusts and efficiencies of aero-engines and gas turbines on the ground. These thermally insulating layers require temperature reduction by ~1500 C, which is used to increase the temperature parameters of aero-engine disks and blades and the aero-engine gas turbine parts combustor liners. Failure is not an option for aerospace components. Thus, the major application of these coatings in turbine engines is driving the ceramic coatings market trends.
The Ceramic Coating market segmentation, based on Type, includes oxide, carbide, nitride, and others. The oxide segment held the major market share and is likely to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. As compared to other counterparts such as carbide and nitride, oxides are cheaper. Oxide ceramic coatings protect metals against corrosion and are used as decorative and electrical insulators. Oxide ceramic coatings can be applied to steel and cast iron as well as to aluminum, copper, and zinc alloys.
The carbide segment is expected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. Carbide ceramic coatings are usually used for abrasion, corrosion, galling, and fretting resistance to wear. Using a plasma spray powder device, almost all carbides, oxides, borides, and nitrides can be coated, as the plasma temperature is more than the melting point of any known material.Â
Based on Method, the Ceramic Coating market segmentation includes physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), thermal spray, and others. The thermal spray segment held the key share of the market and is projected to expand rapidly during the forecast period. The most common technique of ceramic coatings is thermal spraying as most often they are made of metal oxides and their main use is for wear resistance. The application of thermally sprayed ceramics to metal substrates offers improved surface properties. Examples include thermal or electric insulation and resistance to wear and corrosion.
Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a thin-film coating process that usually produces coatings of ceramics with a thickness between 1 and 10μm range. PVD coatings are sometimes stronger and more resistant to corrosion than the electroplating process applied to coatings.
Based on End-Use, the Ceramic Coating market segmentation includes Transportation & Automotive, Energy, Aerospace & Defense, Industrial Goods, Healthcare, and Others. The transportation & automotive segment accounted for the prime share of the market. The ceramic coating is applied to the body of a vehicle and forms a chemical bond with factory paint. When coated, it can be extracted only by abrasion and offers good protection to the vehicle's surface. They can protect the vehicle from dirt, chemical contaminants, and scratches. A ceramic- the coated vehicle is also easier to clean, and its body panels remain smooth and abrasive-free.
The energy segment also held a significant share of the market. Ceramic coatings are majorly used in solar panels. They protect the solar panel glass from salt spray or mineral deposits that may cause corrosion and staining. These coatings also provide hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties to the surface of solar panels.
