These properties allow advanced functional ceramics to be used in industries such as power generation, aerospace, transportation, and military applications. Electrical & electronics, transportation, machinery and healthcare are the major applications for advanced functional ceramics. Asia-Pacific with a CAGR of 9.0% is the fastest growing market for advanced functional ceramics. http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/advanced-functional-material1221.html

Advanced functional composite is a class of materials formed by combining two or more distinct materials, each of which retains its own distinctive properties, to create a new material with properties that cannot be achieved by any of the components acting alone. Advanced functional composites are used in systems to reduce its weight and increase strength. The result of these to parameters is increased service life and lower energy consumption, thus justifying their intended use of reducing the carbon footprint of the system. Major applications of advanced functional composites include automotive, marine, green energy, aerospace, electrical & electronics, consumer durables and building & construction. Renewable power generation equipment with a CAGR of 10.5% is the fastest growing application for advanced functional composites.
