Refractories Market by Material (Alumina, Fireclays, Bauxite), by Chemical Composition (Acid, Basic, Neutral), by Application (Boilers, Furnaces), by End-Use (Steel & Metal, Energy), and by Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa, South America) – Global Forecast 2017 to 2024

Refractories Market: Summary

The Global Refractories Market is estimated to reach USD 37.3 Billion by 2024 at a CAGR of 4.3 %.

Refractories are the material that possess ability to withstand extremely high temperature i.e. around 3000°C without degrading. The refractory materials encompass of ceramics, minerals, and some super alloys which are used in modern manufacturing. These materials have higher capacity to resist heat than that of metals and thus can be used in various industrial application. Apart from high resistance to thermal stress, these materials have high capability to withstand the physical wear and corrosion caused by chemical agents. Owing to high ability to withstand high temperature condition, it is widely used in furnaces, ovens, kilns, and jet and rocket engines.

 

Refractories Market: Drivers & Restraints

Market Drivers:

• Growing Demand from the Manufacturing Sector

The refractories play vital role in manufacturing sector, especially for production of glass, cement, and mineral processing, lime, etc. which can be further used for multiple application. The market growth is fueled by rising demand for temperature resistant, stiff, durable, cost effective materials to cater the booming manufacturing sector. The growing demand for various automotive vehicle, industrial equipment, cement, metals to carry out different purpose in anticipated to boost the market in the following years.

• Soaring Demand for Metals and Cement

Cement industry and metal especially steel industry operates in close proximity in order to minimize the production cost and imports of the respective country. The growth of the refractories market is projected to grow at a substantial pace owing to soaring demand for metals and cement. According to World Steel Association, demand for steel worldwide is anticipated to grow by 1.7% in 2020.  The rising construction spending, increasing demand for residential apartments owing to ongoing urbanization is projected to gain promising market growth in the years to follow.

Market Restraints:

• Strict Environmental Regulation

Stringent environmental regulation imposed on emission of Hazardous Air Pollution (HAP) is projected to hinder the growth of this market. For instance, U.S Environment Protection Agency (EPA) has imposed regulation to meet the HAP emission standards on the refractory products manufacturing in order to minimize the air pollution and promote public health. Some of hazardous air pollutant emitted through refractories includes ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, hydrogen fluoride, methanol, phenol, and polycyclic organic matter among others.
