Ceramic Flap Disc Market Overview
The Ceramic Flap Disc Market size is forecasted to reach US$250 million by 2027
after growing at a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period of 2022-2027. Ceramic Flap Disc industry uses different types of flap discs, defined as three-dimensional
grinding discs consisting of abrasives as overlapping layers, attached to a
central hub. These flap discs are manufactured using a top size cloth bonded
with a mixture of zirconium oxide and with silicon carbide abrasives. In
addition, these discs offer high temperature resistance at medium/high working
pressure. Ceramic Flap Disc have a microcrystalline habit, and their
structure is more uniform than that of zirconia alumina flag wheels. This
microcrystalline habit means that they can penetrate in a controlled manner,
expanding the range of available applications. Ceramic flap discs have proven
revolutionary in aluminum oxide castings they have silicon carbonate steel
scale, stainless steel finishing, and titanium alloys that are commonly used in
many aerospace applications. Ceramic Flap Disc have been the substantially
growing market in metal fabrication and MRO activities, thus raising the market
demand for Ceramic Flap Disc Market. The rising demand for ceramic flap
disc from end-users industry is expected to propel the Ceramic Flap Disc Market.
COVID-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic has
challenged the ceramic flap disc industry drastically in 2020. In
comparison to other industries, Ceramic Flap Disc Market had a negative impact on overall growth. In many nations, the ceramic flap disc is used for metalworking,
woodworking, semiconductor manufacturing, welding machining and heavy-duty
equipment are imported from other countries. However, in the
midst of the pandemic due to the restrictions on cross border imports, the
supply chain was completely disrupted. Emergence of the new COVID strain in
many developed and developing countries has adversely affected the aerospace
industry. Supply chains for the procurement of raw material faced many disruptions,
leading to disturbances in production activities in many countries. Government lockdowns and production halts had impact
on this market. According to Engineers India Research Institute
(EIRI), in 2020, Indian automotive sector saw an
overall degrowth of nearly 18 per cent. This situation was worsened by the
onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the ongoing lockdowns across India and the
rest of the world. Thus, the decrease in the demand in the textile
industry has hampered the growth of the Ceramic Flap Disc Market during
pandemic.

Ceramic Flap Disc Market Segment Analysis – By Type
Fiberglass
segment held the largest share of over 21% in the Ceramic Flap Disc Market in the year 2021. Fiberglass relies on a combination of natural minerals
and human-made compounds. It uses silica sand which contributes in providing
strength to the fiberglass. Fiberglass has high resistance to corrosion because
the materials which is being used is ideal for various end-use industries, such
as construction, automotive & transportation, aerospace and marine. Due to
its property fiberglass are widely being used in construction areas. According
to The Office of National Statistics, Great Britain saw monthly construction
output increased by 1.1% in volume terms in January 2022 and is now at its
highest level since September 2019. Thus, use of fiberglass in construction,
will continue to drive the market growth of global ceramic flap disc industry.
Ceramic
Flap Disc Market Segment
Analysis- By End-Use Industry
Aerospace industry held the
largest share of around 24% in the Ceramic Flap Disc Market in 2021. The aerospace sector is expected to
witness strong growth in the market, owing to increase in investment from
government in this sector. Ceramic flap armour plates are even gradually
replacing steel protective components in the military sector, providing
improved ballistic impact resistance without increasing aircraft mass profiles.
ceramic flap disc components offer resistance to high temperatures, they
provide excellent electrical and radio frequency insulation, are extremely
durable and resistant to repeated and extreme thermal cycling and mechanical
wear, are corrosion resistant and chemically inert, with a high strength to
density ratio. According to Invest India, at present, India stands at around US$900 Million and is anticipated
to grow to US$4.33 Billion by 2025 increasing at a CAGR of about 14-15%. The Indian
drone industry will have a total turnover of up to US$ 1.8 billion by 2026.Thus, use of
ceramic flap in the aerospace industry, will bolster the market growth of

Ceramic Flap Disc Market Challenges
Disadvantages associated with the use of global ceramic flap disc
The office of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has developed guidelines regarding the handling and production of fiberglass. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has regulations regarding the installation and use of fiberglass products as well as the pollutants produced during production. Large fiberglass fibers irritate the skin, eyes, and can get into the upper respiratory tract of workers. Exposure to fiberglass can lead to serious health conditions and risk. Constant exposure to fiberglass by unprotected skin leads to irritation and rash, while inhaling fiberglass dust irritates the nose, throat, and breathing passages. Due to these factors market growth for ceramic flap disc is expected to hamper the growth of the market globally over the forecast period.
