Refractories Market Surges On The Back Of Soaring Demand For Iron And Steel: A Significant Driver Propelling The Refractories Market In 2025

The Refractories Market Report by The Business Research Company delivers a detailed market assessment, covering size projections from 2025 to 2034. This report explores crucial market trends, major drivers and market segmentation by [key segment categories].

What Is the Current Refractories Market Size and Its Estimated Growth Rate?
The market size for refractories has seen consistent growth in the past few years, with projections showing an increase from $28.41 billion in 2024 to $29.49 billion in 2025. This means a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. This growth over the historical period is credited to a variety of factors, including the industrial revolution and its impact on steel production, the expansion of the iron and steel industries, the growing development within both the cement and glass sectors, an increase in non-ferrous metal production, along with the rising demand within the chemical and petrochemical industries.

The refractories market is projected to witness consistent expansion in the coming years. The market is set to reach a robust $34.62 billion in 2029, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) pegged at 4.1%. This positive forecast can be linked to a surge in infrastructural development, the emergence of innovative refractory design and application strategies, increased market reach in growing economies, the use of high-temperature materials, and the transition towards environmental-friendly refractories. Key trends during the forecast period include increased demand in the steel industry, escalation in cement manufacturing, a surge in the production of non-ferrous metals, technological upgrades in refractory materials, and market growth in emerging economies.

Which Growth Factors Are Influencing Refractories Market Expansion?
The refractories market is being propelled by the escalating demand for iron and steel. The rising need for these materials arises from intensified infrastructural development and the expansion of the automobile and railway sectors. The mounting requirement for energy-efficient methods for steel production is envisaged to boost growth in the refractories sector. Refractories serve as essential lining materials for furnace operational surfaces and backup areas during the iron and steel manufacturing process. For instance, as reported by the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) in October 2024, the projection for steel consumption is a surge of 17% to 110 million tons in FY22, supported by augmented construction activity. Thus, the surging requirement for steel and iron is steering the expansion of the refractories market.

Who Are the Dominant Players Across Different Refractories Market Segments?
Major companies operating in the refractories market include Saint-Gobain SA, Kyocera, Imerys, RHI Magnesita GmbH, Vesuvius, Minerals Technologies Inc., Shinagawa Refractories Co Ltd., Morgan Advanced Materials, Calderys, CoorsTek, Puyang Refractories Group Co Ltd., Harbisonwalker International, Dalmia-OCL, Resco Products Inc., Intocast AG, Allied Mineral Products, Zircar Refractories Ltd., Chosun Refractories, Magnezit Group, IFGL Refractories Ltd., Krosaki Harima Corporation, Orient Refractories Limited, Refratechnik, Refractarios Alfran

What Refractories Market Trends Are Gaining Traction Across Different Segments?
Advances in technology are a significant trend in the refractories industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are increasingly being employed in refractory production for improved efficiency. Inputs for the ML models come from images and other forms of data accumulated during in-situ analysis. This information empowers companies with valuable insights to accurately forecast the operational period of the product as well as the precise parameters and conditions (like temperature) within the reactor that will produce the desired product such as steel, glass, or cement, all whilst maintaining a minimal refractory layer. RHI Magnesita N.V., a refractory products, systems, and services provider based in Austria, uses AI to analyze its production data. Its Automated Process Optimization (APO) system amasses all data relevant to a specific manufacturing process, aiding in the prognosis of refractory material upkeep and replacement.
