Technological Breakthroughs
One of the notable developments is the patent acquisition by Chongqing Chaoli Electric Co., Ltd. In April 2025, the company successfully obtained the patent for "MCH Ceramic Heating Component" (Announcement No. CN222736313U). The patent, applied for in May 2024, features a design based on MCH ceramic heating elements, connectors, and two metal plates. This design effectively suppresses the deformation stress of metal plates during the welding process. As a result, it avoids damage to the heating elements during welding, ensuring a smooth welding process, increasing product yield, reducing production costs, and enhancing manufacturing efficiency. Since its establishment in 2003, Chongqing Chaoli Electric has been dedicated to technological innovation in the automotive manufacturing industry. With 431 patent records and 13 trademark records according to Tianyancha data, the company has demonstrated strong technical strength and industry leadership.
Not to be outdone, Dongguan Leimei Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. introduced a new technology titled "A New Process MCH Heater and Control Circuit" in its latest patent application in October 2024. The patent, applied for in July 2024 with a publication number of CN118748855A, aims to revolutionize the performance of heating devices. The new MCH heater features a layered ceramic structure, where the upper and lower ceramic bodies, combined with an intermediate ceramic layer, are used for printing and sintering resistance wires. This design not only improves heat generation efficiency but also ensures product portability and durability. The upper electrode is designed for easy external lead connection, while the intermediate layer provides excellent electrical isolation for the entire device. This innovative design completely transforms the traditional voltage control method of heaters, enabling true dual - voltage control and adapting to a wide voltage range (AC100V - AC240V), greatly enhancing the device's applicability.
Market Expansion and Trends
MCH ceramic heating elements, known for their corrosion resistance, high - temperature resistance, long lifespan, high - efficiency energy - saving, uniform temperature distribution, good thermal conductivity, and fast thermal compensation, are finding their way into an ever - expanding range of applications. They are extensively used in household appliances such as small warm - air heaters, hair dryers, dryers, electric irons, and electronic thermos flasks. In the industrial sector, they are applied in industrial drying equipment, electric heating bonders, and liquid heaters for water, oil, and acid - base solutions. In the medical field, they are used in infrared physiotherapy devices and intravenous injection heaters.
According to QYResearch, the global MCH ceramic heating element market reached a sales volume of 173 million US dollars in 2025 and is expected to reach 244 million US dollars by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.90% from 2025 to 2031. The market is driven by the increasing demand for energy - efficient and environmentally friendly heating solutions. As consumers become more environmentally conscious and energy prices continue to fluctuate, the advantages of MCH ceramic heating elements, such as their energy - saving properties and compliance with environmental protection requirements (they are free of harmful substances like lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers, meeting EU RoHS environmental standards), make them an attractive choice for both manufacturers and end - users.
The market competition is intense, with major players including Kyocera, Guangdong Guoyan New Material Co., Ltd., Fujian Minhang Electronics, Dengfeng Fuzhong Special Electrical Appliance Components, Changzhou Liande Ceramics Co., Ltd., Zhuhai Huiyou Electronics, FKK Corporation, Zhengzhou Songxin Electronic Technology, Backer Hotwatt, Thermcraft, Sakaguchi Electric Heaters, Xiamen Innova New Material, and Shaanxi Kairuihongxing Electric. These companies are constantly striving for innovation in product design, performance improvement, and cost - reduction to gain a competitive edge in the market.
Future Outlook
With the continuous development of technology and the increasing demand for intelligent and energy - efficient products, MCH ceramic heating elements are expected to see further growth and innovation. Future trends may include the integration of smart home and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, allowing for more precise temperature control and remote operation. New ceramic materials may be introduced, and heating structure designs may be optimized to achieve higher thermal efficiency and longer service life. As the automotive industry, especially the electric vehicle segment, continues to grow, MCH ceramic heating elements, like the ones developed by Chongqing Chaoli Electric, may find more applications in automotive heating systems, contributing to a more comfortable and energy - efficient driving experience.
In conclusion, the MCH ceramic heating element industry is on a promising trajectory, with technological innovations and market expansion opportunities abounding. Stakeholders in the industry, from manufacturers to investors, are closely watching these developments, as the industry is set to play an increasingly important role in various sectors in the coming years.
