"Barium titanate segment is projected to be second fastest CAGR by type, in terms of value, during the forecast period."

Barium Titanate is gaining traction as a lead-free alternative to conventional piezoelectric materials like Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT). As environmental concerns and regulations regarding lead-based materials continue to rise, there is a growing demand for environmentally sustainable piezoelectric ceramics. Barium Titanate emerges as a viable solution for manufacturers and end-users who prioritize the use of lead-free materials, offering a suitable alternative. Barium titanate offers a wide range of operating temperatures, providing versatility in different environments. It has a Curie temperature (the temperature at which the material loses its ferroelectric properties) around 120-130°C, which allows it to be used in a broad temperature range compared to other piezoelectric ceramics. This characteristic expands the potential applications of barium titanate in industries that require operation in harsh or extreme temperature conditions.
