The market is segmented by type into sintered silicon carbide, reaction bonded silicon carbide, and hot-pressed silicon carbide. Sintered silicon carbide holds the largest market share due to its superior mechanical properties. The market is also segmented by application into personal protection equipment, armored vehicles, aerospace, fixed structure protection, and others. Personal protection equipment is the dominant segment, driven by increasing global defense spending and the need for advanced protection for military personnel and law enforcement officers. Key market players include Saint-Gobain, CoorsTek, CeramTec, 3M, Schunk, Jicheng Advanced Ceramics, Zhejiang Light-Tough Composite Materials, Jinhong New Material, Shandong Huamei New Material Technology, Ningbo FLK Technology, Sanzer New Materials Technology, Shantian New Materials, and Ningbo Donglian Mechanical Seal.
The global silicon carbide ballistic ceramics market size was valued at USD 593.40 million in 2021. It is projected to reach USD 1,027.50 million by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for lightweight, high-performance materials in defense applications is a key factor driving market growth.
Sintered silicon carbide: Sintered silicon carbide (SiC) is the most common type of silicon carbide ballistic ceramics. It is formed by sintering silicon carbide powder at high temperatures. Sintered SiC is characterized by its high strength, hardness, and wear resistance.
Reaction bonded silicon carbide: Reaction bonded silicon carbide (RB SiC) is formed by reacting silicon powder with carbon powder at high temperatures. RB SiC is characterized by its high strength, toughness, and hardness.
Hot-pressed silicon carbide: Hot-pressed silicon carbide (HP SiC) is formed by pressing silicon carbide powder at high temperatures. HP SiC has a higher density than sintered SiC, which results in higher strength and hardness.
Personal protection equipment: Silicon carbide ballistic ceramics are used in a variety of personal protection equipment (PPE), such as helmets, vests, and shields. These materials provide lightweight, high-performance protection against bullets and other projectiles.
Armored vehicles: Silicon carbide ballistic ceramics are also used in armored vehicles, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, and military aircraft. These materials protect the occupants of the vehicle from bullets and other projectiles.
Aerospace: Silicon carbide ballistic ceramics are used in a variety of aerospace applications, such as aircraft and spacecraft. These materials protect the occupants of the vehicle from bullets and other projectiles.
Fixed structure protection: Silicon carbide ballistic ceramics are used in a variety of fixed structure protection applications, such as bunkers, buildings, and critical infrastructure. These materials protect the people and assets inside the structure from bullets and other projectiles.
