Refractory Material Market Poised For Strong Growth With Sustainability And Innovation At The Forefront

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)

Refractory Material Market, by Form

Strong demand from the glass industry, propelled by modern construction trends emphasizing glass-based infrastructure.

WILMINGTON, DE, UNITED STATES, September 9, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- The global refractory material market is witnessing steady growth, primarily fueled by the rise in iron and steel production. Rapid infrastructure development and increasing demand from the automotive sector have significantly boosted steel manufacturing in developed and developing economies such as the U.S., China, and India. Since refractory materials are essential for thermal insulation in kilns, furnaces, incinerators, and other high-temperature equipment, their demand continues to expand in tandem with steel production.

Allied Market Research has published a report titled,“Refractory Material Market By Form (Shaped and Unshaped), Chemical Composition (Alumina, Silica, Magnesia, Fireclay, and Others), Chemistry (Acidic, Basic, and Neutral), and End-Use (Metals And Metallurgy, Cement, Glass And Ceramics, Power Generation, and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis And Industry Forecast, 2023–2032.” The report highlights that the refractory material market, valued at $20.9 billion in 2022, is projected to reach $31.3 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 4.1% from 2023 to 2032.
