According to World Refractory Association (WRA), the Refractories market size was over US$ 30 billion and is projected to witness a growth of more than 4% annually between 2019 and 2025. Strong product demand from automotive, aerospace, glass, electrical, and cement industries is expected to drive the refractories market globally over the next five years. Refractories have significant applications in the manufacturing processes for steel, iron, cement, non-ferrous metals, glass, and other industries. Among the aforesaid end-use industries, steel & iron dominates, accounting for more than 65% of the overall refractory consumption followed by cement which accounts for nearly 15 % of consumption.
In India, the Refractories market stands at approximately ₹ 9,000 Cr and has witnessed steady growth due to the growing production of cement, steel, and non-ferrous materials. According to Indian Refractory Manufacturers Association, the Refractories industry has grown by a rate of around 6% in the last financial year. The Refractory Industry has high growth potential for India due to the increasing demand for cement, steel, glass, copper, and aluminum. With the country moving away from plastics, this will open up the demand for glass and metals which will further drive refractory consumption. In the next 5 years, the Refractory consumption is bound to increase multifold.
The steel industry has seen a number of major investments and developments in the recent past. International steel giants like Arcelor Mittal and Nippon Steel view India as their key market offering the refractory industry in India a boost and a big opportunity.
In the view of the COVID 19 pandemic, The Indian refractory market - a key raw material for the production of cement, steel, and glass has seen a decline in demand because of the nationwide lockdown. However, The refractory demand has slowly recovered as these industries normalized. With support from government stimulus, recovery in the construction sector will be led by infrastructure investment. Demand for consumption-driven manufacturing goods increased in the second half of FY 2021.
