Report Code: CMR 53270 Report Format: PDF + Excel

Ceramic Flap Disc Market Overview

The Ceramic Flap Disc Market size is forecasted to reach US$250 million by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period of 2022-2027. Ceramic Flap Disc  industry uses different types of flap discs, defined as three-dimensional grinding discs consisting of abrasives as overlapping layers, attached to a central hub. These flap discs are manufactured using a top size cloth bonded with a mixture of zirconium oxide and with silicon carbide abrasives. In addition, these discs offer high temperature resistance at medium/high working pressure. Ceramic Flap Disc  have a microcrystalline habit, and their structure is more uniform than that of zirconia alumina flag wheels. This microcrystalline habit means that they can penetrate in a controlled manner, expanding the range of available applications. Ceramic flap discs have proven revolutionary in aluminum oxide castings they have silicon carbonate steel scale, stainless steel finishing, and titanium alloys that are commonly used in many aerospace applications. Ceramic Flap Disc have been the substantially growing market in metal fabrication and MRO activities, thus raising the market demand for Ceramic Flap Disc Market. The rising demand for ceramic flap disc from end-users industry is expected to propel the Ceramic Flap Disc Market.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged the ceramic flap disc industry drastically in 2020. In comparison to other industries, Ceramic Flap Disc Market had a negative impact on overall growth. In many nations, the ceramic flap disc is used for metalworking, woodworking, semiconductor manufacturing, welding machining and heavy-duty equipment are imported from other countries. However, in the midst of the pandemic due to the restrictions on cross border imports, the supply chain was completely disrupted. Emergence of the new COVID strain in many developed and developing countries has adversely affected the aerospace industry. Supply chains for the procurement of raw material faced many disruptions, leading to disturbances in production activities in many countries. Government lockdowns and production halts had impact on this market. According to Engineers India Research Institute (EIRI), in 2020, Indian automotive sector saw an overall degrowth of nearly 18 per cent. This situation was worsened by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing lockdowns across India and the rest of the world. Thus, the decrease in the demand in the textile industry has hampered the growth of the Ceramic Flap Disc Market during pandemic.

Ceramic Flap Disc Market Segment Analysis – By Type

Fiberglass segment held the largest share of over 21% in the Ceramic Flap Disc Market in the year 2021. Fiberglass relies on a combination of natural minerals and human-made compounds. It uses silica sand which contributes in providing strength to the fiberglass. Fiberglass has high resistance to corrosion because the materials which is being used is ideal for various end-use industries, such as construction, automotive & transportation, aerospace and marine. Due to its property fiberglass are widely being used in construction areas. According to The Office of National Statistics, Great Britain saw monthly construction output increased by 1.1% in volume terms in January 2022 and is now at its highest level since September 2019. Thus, use of fiberglass in construction, will continue to drive the market growth of global ceramic flap disc industry.

Ceramic Flap Disc Market Segment Analysis- By End-Use Industry

Aerospace industry held the largest share of around 24% in the Ceramic Flap Disc Market in 2021. The aerospace sector is expected to witness strong growth in the market, owing to increase in investment from government in this sector. Ceramic flap armour plates are even gradually replacing steel protective components in the military sector, providing improved ballistic impact resistance without increasing aircraft mass profiles. ceramic flap disc components offer resistance to high temperatures, they provide excellent electrical and radio frequency insulation, are extremely durable and resistant to repeated and extreme thermal cycling and mechanical wear, are corrosion resistant and chemically inert, with a high strength to density ratio. According to Invest India, at present, India stands at around US$900 Million and is anticipated to grow to US$4.33 Billion by 2025 increasing at a CAGR of about 14-15%. The Indian drone industry will have a total turnover of up to US$ 1.8 billion by 2026.Thus, use of ceramic flap in the aerospace industry, will bolster the market growth of global ceramic flap disc in the forecast period.
