Global Refractories Market size was valued at US$ 31.66 Bn in 2023 and the total revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.3%, reaching nearly US$ 42.51 Bn.Refractories Market Overview
Refractories are inorganic non-metallic materials that are resistant to high temperatures. Furnaces, kilns, incinerators, and reactors all employ refractory materials. Crucibles and molds for casting glass and metals, as well as surfacing flame deflector systems for rocket launch structures, are made of refractories. Organic particulate matter (PM) and hazardous gases like as sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorides, and volatile organic compounds are released throughout the refractory manufacturing process (VOCs). PM is emitted by processes such as crushing, grinding, calcining, and drying, whereas gases and VOCs are emitted by burning and tar & pitch operations, respectively. Fireclay refractories, high alumina refractories, silica brick, Magnesite refractories, insulating materials, and Monolithic refractories are some examples of common refractory materials. As per the research, the refractories market is expected to experience steady growth during the forecast period.To know about the Research Methodology :- Request Free Sample Report
Refractories Market Dynamics
Developing Economies Contributing to the Market Growth Growing urbanization and industrialization, particularly in emerging economies have resulted in enormous investment in residential and commercial construction. China is one of the world's fastest-growing economies, and increasing travel demand necessitates continuous growth of the country's trains and highways. This has also aided the growth of the car market in China. The increased pace of infrastructure development in these emerging countries has resulted in a surge in residential and commercial building construction, which is expected to enhance refractory demand in the iron and steel and cement industries. Rising Environmental Concerns Refractory grogs are spent refractory materials that are then recycled to create secondary raw materials. High-quality refractories and low-quality refractories are the two categories of refractories. The need for refractory product recycling has increased as the cost of raw materials and freight has risen, and environmental restrictions have driven enterprises to seek out more sustainable alternatives. Refractory waste disposal legislation and guidelines in the United States support the recycling of chrome-based refractories, which are widely used in the iron and steel industries. Effects of Fluctuating Prices of Raw Materials The fluctuating raw materials prices in the refractories industry are expected to create uncertainties and challenges during the forecast period for manufacturers, suppliers and customers, leading to slowdowns in the market growth. The production cost of refractories is directly impacted by the fluctuations in the prices of raw materials due to which manufacturers face difficulties in predicting and budgeting their production costs. This leads to uncertainty in pricing and reduced profit margins. The smaller refractories manufacturers, especially those with limited financial resources are expected to find it challenging to cope with price volatility.Refractories Market Segment Analysis:
Based on the Form, the market is segmented into Unshaped Refractories, and Shaped Refractories. The unshaped Refractories segment is expected to grow rapidly at a high CAGR during the forecast period 2024-2030. Unshaped refractories are increasingly replacing traditional refractories in applications that demand high-temperature resistance. Monolithic linings, also known as unshaped refractories, reduce batch delays and enable extensive repairs with minimal downtime. The unshaped refractory has a high purity, compactness, and gradation that is reasonable. It can be produced into a monolithic refractory, which is a continuous lining and structure. Based on the End-Use Industry, the market is segmented into Iron & Steel, Power Generation, Non-Ferrous metals, Cement, Glass, and Others. The iron & Steel segment is expected to hold the largest refractories market share of 65% by 2030. Internal linings of iron and steel furnaces, furnaces for heating steel before further processing, vessels for holding and transporting metal and slag, flues or stacks through which hot gases are conducted, and other applications are among the most common uses of refractories in the iron and steel industry.According to the World Steel Association, global steel demand reached 1.76 million metric tonnes in 2023 and is expected to reach 1.81 million tonnes by 2030, representing a 1.7% increase. This reflects the global market's demand outlook, which is important in boosting steel output. These are the key drivers that are expected to boost the growth of this segment during the forecast period.
Refractories Market Regional Insights
The Asia Pacific Refractories Market is expected to dominate the global refractories market during the forecast period 2024-2030 with the largest market share. China has the largest economy in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of GDP. Even with the economic disruption created by the country's trade war with the United States, the country's GDP grew by roughly 6.1% in 2023. In comparison to the previous year, China's economic growth rate in 2023 was expected to be mild. Due to the local availability of raw materials such as magnesite, China dominates the refractories industry in terms of consumption and production. In China, the building industry grew rapidly in 2023. The country is the world's largest construction market, accounting for 20% of all worldwide construction investments. In the next five years, till 2030, the country would invest USD 1.43 trillion in significant development projects. The Shanghai Plan, according to the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), calls for a total investment of USD 38.7 billion over the next three years. Despite the fact that cement production has decreased over the last half-decade, the above-mentioned causes are expected to improve demand for metals, cement, and other market-related items, resulting in a positive outlook for refractories.The European Refractories Market is also expected to hold the major share of the global market. The region has a long history of refractories production and application along with several manufacturers who are actively investing in research and development to improve the performance and lifespan of refractory products and end-user industries that heavily rely on refractories. In the region, efforts like ReStaR (Review and Improvement of Testing Standards for Refractory Products) have been established to guarantee the region's current refractory testing standards are reliable and precise.
