According to the report “Ceramic Tube Market by Material Type (Alumina and Zirconia), Application (Electronics and Electrical and Medical and Healthcare), and Region (North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Europe) – Global Forecast to 2022″, it can be estimated that the ceramic tube market is expected to grow from USD 691.1 million in 2017 to USD 993.3 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.52%, during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the increased demand for electrical transmission and distribution equipment and the replacement and refurbishment of existing power infrastructure.

Alumina tube segment is expected to hold the largest share of the ceramic tube market, by material type, during the forecast period.

Alumina tube segment led the ceramic tube market in 2016 and is expected to grow at a decent pace during the forecast period. Alumina is a standard material used to manufacture ceramic products such as tubes and rods for insulators, spark plug envelopes, and vacuum interrupters, among others. It is comparatively more cost-effective than other ceramic material types such as zirconia and molybdenum, among others, which is the main reason for the large market share held by the segment. Alumina segment is driven by the increased demand for alumina tube in applications such as vacuum interrupters, power grid tubes, insulator tubes for thermocouples, x-ray tubes, and spark plugs, among others.

Electronic and electrical application segment is expected to be the largest segment of the ceramic tube market.

Electronic and electrical segment is expected to be the largest market segment of the ceramic tube market, by application, in 2017. The governments of developing nations around the world are spending heavily on the construction of new electrical transmission and distribution grids while those in developed nations are investing in their aging power transmission and distribution grids. The demand for x-ray tubes for x-ray machines and CT-scan machines in the medical and healthcare sector is continually growing, which, in turn, is driving the electronic and electrical application segment of the ceramic tube market.
