Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) Market Recent Industry Trends and Projected Industry Size by 2015-2025

Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/05/2017 -- Lead zirconate titanate often referred to as PZT is one of the most widely used piezoelectric ceramic materials in the world. PZT is an intermetallic inorganic compound which is insoluble in all the solvents. Lead zirconate titanate shows piezoelectric effect (ability to produce electric charge in response to mechanical stress applied). It is used across a wide range of applications in the field of electroceramics. Lead zirconate titanate is of two types viz. hard lead zirconate titanate and soft lead zirconate titanate. The hard lead zirconate titanate also known as high power ceramics can withstand high mechanical stress as well as high electrical voltage. They are used when high voltage energy is required. However, the soft lead zirconate titanate is used when high charge sensitivity is important. The lead zirconate titanate materials are used to produce high voltage, production and detection of sound as well as electronic frequency generation. The study on lead free piezoelectric materials can restrain growth of global lead zirconate titanate market. But the alternatives can also be toxic. However, the global lead zirconate titanate market is anticipated to witness a moderate single digit growth in the forecast period.
