Bioceramics And Piezoceramics Market Drivers
Bolstering Growth in Automotive Sector:
Alumina-based Bioceramics And Piezoceramics have high applicability in the automotive sector where they are used in sensors and actuators applications. Rapid urbanization, technological upgradation and growing investment are fueling automotive production. For instance, according to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, in 2021, global automotive production stood at 80.1 million units showing a 3% increase in comparison to the previous year. Furthermore, according to the same data, automotive production at the regional level also witnessed significant growth.

Such bolstering growth of the automotive sector has accelerated the demand and usage of alumina-based Bioceramics And Piezoceramics for actuators and sensors applications, thereby propelling the growth of Bioceramics And Piezoceramics industry during the forecast period.
Increase in Dental Patients:
Bioceramics And Piezoceramics are made from calcium phosphate or lead zirconate titanate. They have tensile and compressive strength due to which they have major applicability in dentistry for dental implants and fillings. Growing cases of substance abuse and tooth decay have resulted in an increase in dental patients and services related to such patients. For instance, according to American Dental Association, in June 2022, dentistry services in the US increased by 1.9% on account of the growing population of dental patients. Furthermore, according to General Statistics of Northern Ireland, in 2021, the number of dental patients increased by 64% in Northern Ireland. The increase in the number of dental patients would stimulate demand and usage of Bioceramics And Piezoceramics for making dental implants, thereby positively impacting the Bioceramics And Piezoceramics industry growth.
Bioceramics And Piezoceramics Market Challenge:
Availability of Substitutes:
Bioceramics And Piezoceramics have major applicability in the medical & healthcare sector for bone replacement and dental implants. However, they have low wear and abrasion resistance. Substitutes such as titanium and polyethylene have high wear and abrasion resistance, due to which they are gaining traction in implant applications. For instance, titanium is used in hip prostheses and polyethylene in acetabular cups. The availability of such substitutes would limit the Bioceramics And Piezoceramics usage in implant applications, thereby reducing their market share in the medical & healthcare sector. That would negatively impact the Bioceramics And Piezoceramics Market size during the forecast period.
