The Global Refractory Ceramic Fiber Market was valued at USD 1600 million in 2022 and is expected to reach the value of USD 3961.54 million by 2029, at a CAGR of 12.00% during the forecast period of 2022-2029.
Refractory Ceramic Fiber (RCF) Market Overview:
Ceramic fibers are small-sized filaments or strings typically made of ceramic materials such as alumina and silica, used in lightweight devices for electrical, thermal, and acoustic insulation. Ceramic fiber is an insulating material composed of alumina and silica bound by an inorganic binder. It's lightweight and low-density properties make it suitable for high-temperature applications requiring low thermal mass. Due to their high heat and corrosion resistance, continuous ceramic fibers/threads are generally used in high-temperature applications instead of metals.
