Published On: OCT-2024   |   Base Year: 2022   |   No Of Pages: 150   |   Historical Data: 2017-2021   |   Formats: PDF   |   Report ID: 93357453

The zirconium dioxide market was worth USD 5.2 billion in 2023 and will be worth USD 8.60 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period.

 

The Zirconium Dioxide market grows as this material is used in ceramics, electronics, and medical sectors due to characteristic properties such as thermal stability, strength, and low friction coefficients. The application of zirconium compounds for ceramic production, especially for dental implants as well as for advanced ceramics, has a global market, which is forecasted to grow more than 6% per annum. For instance, in 2023, a Japanese ceramics maker began a series of dental implants made from zirconium dioxide that is biocompatible and also very strong, proposed as a substitute for metal implants. Furthermore, a growing requirement for zirconium dioxide is applicable in electronics, notably capacitors and resistors, for the global electronic devices manufacturing business. Such changes show the increasing roles and uses of zirconium dioxide in many sectors of the economy.

 

The market for Zirconium Dioxide offers promising opportunities because of its increasing use in medical and electronics industries, and both industries are steadily experiencing growth. For instance, the global dental implant market is expected to expand more than 8% annually due to the rising popularity of zirconium dioxide for biocompatible implants stronger than metals, offering a metal-free solution in dental applications. The leading European manufacturer of medical devices introduced a new series of zirconium dioxide implants in 2023, stating improved wear resistance of the material compared with titanium. Further, an electronic application such as semiconductors that uses zirconium dioxide for their dielectric material application is expected to expand due to the increasing popularity of electric and electronic devices. The growing demand for small and high-performance devices in the electronics industry expands the utilization of zirconium dioxide as a material for capacitors and resistor manufacturers as well as a key material for future technology development.

Leading Segment: Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals (TZP)

TZP dominates the market with a share of over 35%, driven by its superior toughness, high wear resistance & biocompatibility, making it ideal for dental implants & structural ceramics. For instance, its application in dental ceramics like crowns and bridges accounts for significant usage in healthcare. With increasing adoption in medical and structural applications, TZP is expected to maintain steady growth at a CAGR of around 8% during the forecast period.

Fastest-Growing Segment: Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ)

PSZ is growing at a CAGR of 9%, fueled by its application in thermal barrier coatings for automotive and aerospace engine components. This type of zirconia exhibits excellent thermal stability & resistance, making it increasingly preferred for harsh operational environments. For example, Rolls-Royce employs PSZ-based coatings in its jet engines for enhanced performance.

 

By Application:

Leading Segment: Ceramics (Dental and Structural)

Ceramics account for over 40% of the market share due to the extensive use of zirconia in dental applications like crowns & bridges and structural components like cutting tools and bearings. The dental ceramics segment alone is growing due to the aging population and rising dental health awareness, particularly in Europe and North America.

Fastest-Growing Segment: Medical Devices

Medical devices are expanding rapidly, with a CAGR of 10%, driven by the growing demand for zirconia-based prosthetics & dental implants. Nobel Biocare uses zirconia in its high-performance dental implants. The increasing adoption of zirconia in biocompatible implants in emerging markets is boosting growth.

 

By End-User Industry:

Leading Segment: Healthcare

The healthcare sector holds a market share of over 35% due to the widespread application of zirconia in dental implants, prosthetics, and medical tools.

In regions like North America, the demand for dental and orthopedic implants is a significant growth driver.

Fastest-Growing Segment: Electronics & Semiconductors

Electronics is growing at a CAGR of 9.5% due to the use of zirconia in sensors, capacitors, and resistors, driven by the miniaturization trend in electronics. For example, zirconia-based oxygen sensors are widely used in automotive and industrial applications to monitor air-fuel ratios.

 

By Production Method:

Leading Segment: Chemical Precipitation

Chemical precipitation accounts for approximately 40% of the market share, primarily due to its widespread use in producing high-purity zirconia. This method is cost-effective & allows for the precise control of particle size & morphology, making it suitable for applications in ceramics & electronics.

Fastest-Growing Segment: Sol-Gel Method

The sol-gel method is expanding at a CAGR of 8.5%, owing to its ability to produce ultra-fine & uniform zirconia particles. This method is increasingly adopted for advanced applications, such as medical devices & catalysts. For instance, sol-gel-derived zirconia is used in high-performance dental ceramics due to its enhanced mechanical properties.

 

By Region:

Leading Region: Asia Pacific

Asia Pacific holds over 45% of the market share, driven by robust growth in electronics manufacturing, automotive production, and ceramics industries in countries like China, Japan, and South Korea. For instance, China's expanding semiconductor industry heavily relies on zirconia for components like sensors and capacitors.
