High-temperature stability in addition to reduced weight and high strength is expected to propel the growth. The chemical industry had an unanticipated turning point in the first half of 2020. These businesses, which were already coping with complicated long-term patterns, saw the combined consequences of the COVID-19-related economic crisis and the oil price crash. The global pandemic has significantly influenced the market.

Ceramic matrix composites are composite materials including ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix and forming a ceramic material. However, carbon and carbon fibers are also considered as ceramic material. Ceramic matrix composites are used in the various applications such as aerospace, electronics, defense, thermal management, and others in order to improve performance and sturdy structures. They are expected to replace conventional alloys and other metal components as they operate at “no cooling” medium owing to higher thermal stability. The cost of ceramic matrix composites is greatly influenced by the volatile prices of the ceramic fibers.
