Based on the form type, the market is segmented as bricks & shapes, monolithic, and others. Bricks & shapes are estimated to hold the major share of the market during the forecast period. These refractories are also known as performed refractories and are utilized for forming floor tiles, aches and walls of various extreme temperature process equipment. The shape and production of refractories depends primarily on the size and structure of furnaces or other services where the utilization of refractories products can be done. Apart from iron blast furnace, other lining works are composed of standard refractories already available in the market as only iron blast furnace requires refractories brick of varied shapes and sizes.
Based on the composition type, the market is segmented as clay-based and nonclay-based. The clay-based refractories segment is estimated to account for the major share of the market during the forecast period. This clay-based refractory includes mullite ceramics, fire clays, etc. and are generally produced as monolithic, preformed bricks, and are also helpful in developing light weight refractories in the form of blankets, fiberboards, and vacuum cast shapes.
Based on the type, the market is segmented as acidic, basic, and neutral. Neutral type segment is anticipated to hold the largest share of the market during the forecast period as these refractories cannot be attacked by acid or basic slags and hence, this is the most preferred type of product. This refractory includes graphite, zirconium carbide, chromite, silicon carbides, etc.
Based on the manufacturing process type, the market is segmented as dry press process, fused cast, hand molded, formed, and unformed. Fused cast manufacturing process type is estimated to account for the major share of the market during the forecast period. The raw materials required for refractories in each manufacturing process are oxidized before melting by treating it with heat, so as to minimize the oxygen content needed for oxidizing molten refractories.
Based on the end-user type, the market is segmented as iron & steel, non-metallic materials, non-ferrous metals, and others. Iron & steel segment is projected to witness significant growth rate in the market during the forecast period. This refractory needs refractories to be used for various applications such as blast furnaces, process gas heaters, basic oxygen making steel vessels, troughs, electric arc furnace, and torpedo ladles. Further, China has well developed iron and steel market, representing as an important factor fueling the refractories production in the country which is having a positive impact on the overall market during the forecast period.
In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is estimated to be the largest as well as the fastest-growing region in the market owing to growing production and research and development centers with China, Japan, and India being the major countries as the leading contributors in iron & steel, non-ferrous and glass industries during the forecast period. Factors such as growing industries owing to increasing per capita expenditure of the population and increase in urbanization are the major factors fueling the regional market growth over the forecast period. North America and Europe are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
