Refractory Materials Market For Steel Industry in GCC 2025-2029: Drivers & Challenges

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region is experiencing a significant increase in steel demand, driven primarily by growth in the construction and infrastructure sectors. This trend is expected to continue due to ongoing developmental activities, fueled by petrodollars and the diversification of oil-based companies. The construction sector's expansion, coupled with increasing investments in railway, infrastructure, and road projects, has made GCC an attractive business destination for international investors. Saudi Arabia is projected to be the largest consumer of steel in the GCC, with the industry's growth attributed to these factors: expanding construction activities, substantial infrastructure development, and dependable and affordable energy supplies.

The refractory materials market for the steel industry has experienced significant price volatility in recent years. The cost of these materials plays a crucial role in their final application. The price of a refractory product is determined by three primary factors: the cost of raw materials, production costs, and design and product testing expenses. The main raw materials used in refractory production include magnesite, alumina, bauxite, graphite, and zirconium. Fluctuations in their prices are primarily due to economic instability, political unrest, and the Eurozone economic downturn. Additionally, China's export policies have led to increased taxes on magnesite, high-grade aluminum, and bauxite exports, contributing to the price volatility.

1.1 Bricks- Refractory bricks are essential components in the steel industry, used primarily in kilns and furnaces due to their insulating properties. These bricks are manufactured with a balance of solid particles and air spaces to prevent heat conduction. Standard refractory bricks are commonly used in steel factories, while special shapes are customized for specific applications. The UAE's FDI law in 2018 has encouraged foreign investments in the steel sector, leading to expansions and increased production capacity. This growth can potentially boost the demand for refractory bricks. Refractory bricks come in various types, including magnesite and chrome magnesite bricks, fused magnesite-chrome grain bricks, and alumina bricks. The refractory market, worth over USD30 billion, is driven by industries requiring high temperatures, such as steel, glass, lime, cement, and ceramics. The construction industry, accounting for half of the global refractory market, is experiencing a product revolution due to technological advancements. This growth is expected to increase the demand for refractory bricks in the steel industry in the GCC region during the forecast period.
