Global Zirconia Market Types and Application Segmentation: Total Value is $1289.53 Million in 2024

Global Zirconia Market Overview

According to Global Market Monitor, the global zirconia market size will reach $1289.53 million in 2024 with a CAGR of 6.54% from 2024 to 2029.

China dominates the global zirconium market and is gaining popularity as the fastest-growing nuclear energy consumer in the current situation. The increasing emphasis on developing nuclear power resources is expected to increase the demand for zirconium. As the pace of infrastructure construction accelerates, so does the number of residential and commercial buildings in China. This is expected to drive the demand for refractory materials in the cement and steel industries, thereby driving the zirconia market.

High Performance and Large Range in Downstream Application

To replace the infrastructure of metal dentures, structural ceramics have been improved and are becoming more and more popular in dentistry. In dental ceramics, zirconia has become a versatile and promising material due to its biological, mechanical, and optical properties, which has certainly accelerated its use in different types of prosthetic treatments in CAD/CAM technology. The similarity of zirconia to real teeth is an important consideration when using it as a dental material, while the optical properties of dental materials are crucial when matching ceramic restorations to the natural appearance of teeth. Zirconia ceramics were chosen for the manufacture of dental restorations, which are similar in color to teeth. Zirconia is a good choice for people who are allergic to metal or want to get metal-free restorations.

Zirconium oxide-based ceramics are commonly used in structural applications in engineering, such as the manufacture of cutting tools, gas sensors, refractory materials, and structural sunscreens. To meet the structural requirements, zirconia is doped with a stabilizer to achieve high strength and fracture toughness. Bioceramics currently used in medical and dental care come from structural materials used in aerospace and military armor that have been modified to accommodate the additional requirements of biocompatibility.
