Key drivers of global ceramic balls market

Increase in use of ceramic balls in the automotive and chemical end-use industries due to their superior properties, such as corrosion & heat resistance and high temperature resistance, coupled with versatility acts as the key factor, which drives the growth of the global ceramic balls market. In addition, increase in demand for ceramic balls in the chemical sector to boost the efficiency and productivity of ball mills and catalytic reactions significantly contributes toward the growth of the overall market. Moreover, owing to use of ceramic balls in the removal of mercury from natural gas and hydrocracking applications, the adoption of ceramic balls is expected to notably increase in the oil & gas sector 

Market scenario: opportunities and challenges 

Ceramic balls are used as absorbent bed support media and catalyst in various applications such as refining processes, petrochemical, and gas processing. Impact-resistant, durability, and higher crush strength are expected to boost their demand, globally. In addition, ceramic balls are lightweight, which acts as an essential factor in the aerospace and automotive industry. This is attributed to the fact that surge in demand for lightweight electric vehicles is likely to act as an opportunity, which further augments the market growth. However, high initial cost involved in the manufacturing of ceramic balls is expected to impede the market growth. Moreover, increase in health and environment threats such as asthma, chronic inhalation, and other respiratory problems caused due to the manufacturing process of ceramic balls is expected to enforce stringent regulations, which may adversely affect the growth of the global market.

Key segments covered

COVID-19 scenario analysis

Owing to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global ceramic balls market is expected to witness a slowdown during the next couple of years. Governments of various countries have implemented lockdown, which has led to shutdown of factories in scores of cities and provinces across the world, thus leading to predictions of a sharp slowdown in the output from automotive to chemical industries. In addition, recent decline in the revenue of the automobile industry is one of the key factors that is likely to negatively impact the growth of ceramic balls market. Moreover, companies are dealing with missing sales and disrupted supply chains as production activities are shutdown.
