Description
Refractories Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Refractories Market
The Refractories Market size was valued at USD 32.98 billion in 2022, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 34.46 billion in 2023 to USD 47.09 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period of 2024-2032.
The COVID-19 caused a dilemma for the Refractories Market. While refractory product manufacturing was still in demand during pandemic, the disruption in supply chain due to lockdown caused shortage of material such as binders and non-clay sand, along with employee shortage, overall hampered the Refractories Market Growth. Lockdown measure have also caused production slowdown in end-user industries, such as cement and glass, creating a challenge for market with reduced demand from automotive and construction sectors.
The EVs, are gaining popularity with growing automotive industry due to which the vehicle manufacturing materials such as steel, iron, and glass, are on high demand. International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers have reported that steel-based products holds 60% of the vehicle’s body structure as compared to glass, which holds only 6% of the body weight. The rising demand for these materials has uplifted the Refractories Market Share. To fulfil the demand of automotive industry, materials are being produced in large number and material uptake from the steel and glass industry has surged as well, rising the overall growth.
The market has shifted towards refractories market and there is rise in developing products from diverse materials. Magnesia-chrome refractory, mainly know for its high refractoriness and resistance to chemical corrosion is made from combination of magnesia materials and chromium oxide. The demand is also high for unshaped products such as monolithic ones, specially made from aggregates, additives, and binders. These products are very useful for the steel and cement industries, specially to line moulds and templates. This ensures consistent temperature insulation across kiln surfaces. Manufacturers are also keeping their focus on customisation of unshaped products to meet specific industry needs.
