High-temperature composite materials are a class of composite materials that are designed to withstand extreme temperatures. These materials are used in a variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications. The materials are composed of a combination of two or more components, such as carbon fibers, glass fibers, and resin, which are designed to retain their strength and stability even at high temperatures. High-temperature composite materials are used to make components and parts that must be able to endure extreme temperatures, such as aircraft engines and space shuttle components.

The global "High-Temperature Composite Materials Market by Temperature Range (High and Ultra-High), Matrix System (PMC, CMC and MMC Materials), Application (Aerospace & Defense, Transportation, Energy & Power, E&E and Others) and by Region - Global Forecasts"

Ceramic matrix composite materials have the highest market share of the high-temperature composite materials market due to large demand from the aerospace & defense industry. High-temperature ceramic is used in cylinder sleeves in engines, piston-recess walls bearings, and brake disks. Their properties such as reduced nitride oxide emission, less weigh & fuel burn, reduced noise, and ability to withstand very high temperatures are driving their growth in the aerospace & defense industry. Besides this, the consumption of ceramic matrix composite materials is also predicted to increase due to growing demand from nuclear fusion & fission reactors and petrochemical applications.

The demand for high-temperature polymer matrix composite materials in the transportation industry for weight reduction and fire, smoke & toxicity (FST) compliance is growing in the modern light and passenger rails. Further, health, safety, and environmental regulations regarding toxic smoke emission standards, specifically, in North America and Europe, are the major factors driving the demand of FST complaint high-temperature thermoset and thermoplastic composite materials in the transportation industry.

North America accounts for the largest market of high-temperature composite materials, globally, due to the high demand from the aerospace & defense industry and regulatory norms requiring the use of eco-friendly materials. Along with the existing capacities, several high-temperature composite manufacturers, such as GE aviation (U.S.) and Boeing Research & Technology (U.S.), are expanding their production capacities for high-temperature oxide/oxide ceramic matrix composite materials.
