欧盟的碳边境关税和北美的脱碳政策正在抑制对传统镁碳砖的需求。生命週期评估表明,无碳镁替代品对环境的影响较小,但需要更广泛的产业检验。美国对中国和墨西哥镁碳砖征收的反倾销税,对某些生产商的税率高达236%,加剧了成本压力,并推动耐火材料市场向低碳解决方案转型。 RHI Magnesita公司的高回收镁碳系列产品展现了一条过渡路径,但从长远来看,无碳黏合剂和陶瓷基质复合材料更具优势。
在回顾期内,非黏土耐火材料的复合年增长率 (CAGR) 为 4.76%,预计到 2030 年将继续优于黏土耐火材料。非粘土耐火砖凭藉其卓越的耐腐蚀性和抗热震性而蓬勃发展,这对于氢基炼钢、先进电池和废弃物焚烧炉至关重要。菱镁矿砖因其对炉渣化学成分的耐受性而主导着基础炼钢领域,而氧化锆砖则在严苛循环和极端高温区域表现出色。硅砖仍然是焦炉格栅结构的重要组成部分,但日益严格的结晶二氧化硅暴露法规(将粉尘浓度限制在 50µg/m³)限制了其使用。铬铁矿砖凭藉其强大的抗金属渗透性,在有色金属冶炼领域保持着一定的市场份额。在黏土耐火材料保持其销售领先地位的同时,这些非黏土耐火材料类别支撑了价值成长。
以高铝砖为代表的黏土耐火材料,预计2024年将占据耐火材料市场55.43%的份额。耐火粘土砖广泛应用于中温钢包和锅炉,其隔热耐火材料释放各行各业实现节能。调查团队在1100℃高温下,使飞灰无机聚合物砖的抗压强度达到84 MPa,显示黏土耐火材料有望实现循环经济。圣戈班的超高温陶瓷,特别是碳化硅和氧化锆,将耐火材料的性能极限提升至1400 ℃以上,这表明混合配方模糊了传统粘土/非粘土耐火材料的界限。
耐火材料市场报告按产品类型(非粘土耐火材料和粘土耐火材料)、终端用户行业(钢铁、水泥、能源化工、非铁金属、玻璃、陶瓷及其他终端用户行业)和地区(亚太地区、北美、欧洲、南美以及中东和非洲)进行细分。市场预测以吨为单位。
预计到2024年,亚太地区将占全球耐火材料市场73.81%的份额,并在2030年之前以4.22%的复合年增长率成长。中国持续推动高炉现代化改造,同时关闭老旧产能,并推广高等级耐火砖和浇注料的永续应用。 RHI Magnesita执行长预测,国内耐火材料年增率将达到6%至13%,这反映了钢铁和水泥产业的快速扩张。日本在JFE控股22.6亿美元投资的支持下,正向电弧炉(EAF)技术转型,将促使炉衬配方转向针对电弧炉优化的基础配方。韩国的耐火材料产量预计在2024年将下降5.7%,但其目标是将生产重心转向高价值钢铁耐火材料,而这类产品对耐火材料的需求较高。中国和东南亚锂离子电池超级工厂建设的加速推进,使该地区成为耐火材料市场的成长中心。
北美是一个成熟且具有重要战略意义的地区。哈比森沃克国际公司在密苏里州富尔顿投资1,390万美元进行扩建,将使轻质整体式耐火材料的产量提高60%,这反映了该公司致力于在该地区开发高价值应用产品的承诺。美国职业安全与健康管理局(OSHA)更严格的二氧化硅粉尘法规将推动对封闭式物料输送和低粉尘材料的投资,从而重塑产品系列。加拿大预计在生铁出口方面占据主导,这可能会刺激对特种直接还原铁(DRI)耐火材料的需求。然而,由于美国反倾销税推高了镁碳砖的成本,墨西哥的竞争力受到削弱。
欧洲在环境政策上引领潮流。欧盟的碳边境调节机制将提高高碳排放的成本,并鼓励采用无碳债券和回收解决方案。安赛乐米塔尔决定退还其为德国氢钢计划提供的13亿欧元补贴,凸显了绿色转型带来的经济负担。圣戈班计划在纽约州惠特菲尔德投资4000万美元建设NorPro工厂,该工厂虽然总部位于美国,但主要面向欧洲催化剂供应商,凸显了跨大西洋供应链的整合。在中东和非洲,沙乌地阿拉伯的产业多元化和南非的矿业计画展现出良好的前景,但政治稳定性和基础设施的不足将影响计划的进展速度。
The Refractories Market size is estimated at 57.36 Million tons in 2025, and is expected to reach 69.75 Million tons by 2030, at a CAGR of 3.99% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

This forward momentum reflects the ability of the refractories market to adapt to shifting steelmaking technologies, expanding energy-intensive industries, and rising regulatory expectations. Capacity expansions across Asian steel plants, the pivot toward hydrogen-based direct-reduced-iron (DRI) furnaces, and the scale-up of next-generation battery, cement, and waste-to-energy facilities all reinforce near-term demand. At the same time, tighter silica-dust limits and carbon-border tariffs are accelerating materials innovation and spurring strategic consolidation among leading suppliers. RHI Magnesita, for example, delivered 7% growth in 2023 Adjusted EBITA to EUR 409 million despite softer volumes, underscoring how disciplined pricing and targeted acquisitions can buffer cyclical swings.
Steel capacity additions across Asia are driving unprecedented refractory demand, with China commissioning 12 new blast furnaces totaling 18.97 million tons in H1 2024. Replacing aging units with high-efficiency furnaces lengthens campaign life expectations and raises thermal loads, prompting the refractories market to innovate higher-grade magnesia-carbon and monolithic solutions. India's surge is equally pivotal; RHI Magnesita India posted INR 3,781 crore (USD 453 million) FY 2023-24 revenue while serving more than 700 customers across nine sites, highlighting the depth of domestic pull. Regional concentration benefits local producers through shorter lead times yet challenges Western suppliers to sustain share. Meanwhile, Korean production fell 5.7% in 2024, underscoring uneven growth within the broader refractories market.
Hydrogen-based DRI alters temperature profiles and atmospheres, demanding refractories with superior thermal-shock resistance and hydrogen embrittlement resilienceMagnesita research confirms that electric melting furnaces intended for "green steel" require novel refractory chemistries capable of withstanding hydrogen-rich gases. Although the process can slash steelmaking CO2 emissions to 0.1 tons per ton of steel, capex and energy-price hurdles persist; ArcelorMittal's 2025 withdrawal from a German project and return of EUR 1.3 billion in subsidies highlights the economic uncertainties. Nevertheless, the Institute for Energy Economics forecasts a ten-fold rise in DR-grade iron ore demand by 2050, signaling long-run opportunities for specialized DRI refractories,
EU carbon-border tariffs and North American decarbonization policies are curbing demand for traditional magnesia-carbon bricks. Life-cycle assessments show that carbonless magnesia alternatives deliver lower environmental impacts but still need broader industrial validation. US antidumping duties on certain Chinese and Mexican mag-carbon bricks-reaching 236% for some producers-add cost pressure and push the refractories market toward lower-carbon solutions. RHI Magnesita's high-recycling mag-carbon series offers an interim path, yet long-term trajectories favor carbon-free bonds and ceramic-matrix composites.

Non-clay refractories grew at a 4.76% CAGR during the review period and continue to outpace clay grades through 2030. They thrive on superior corrosion and thermal-shock resistance critical in hydrogen-based steelmaking, advanced batteries, and waste-to-energy incinerators. Magnesite bricks dominate basic steelmaking for their resistance to slag chemistry, while zirconia bricks excel in severe cycling and extremely high temperature zones. Silica bricks remain indispensable for coke-oven checker walls, yet usage is moderated by rising crystalline-silica exposure rules capping dust at 50 µg/m3. Chromite bricks maintain a foothold in non-ferrous smelting thanks to strong metal-penetration resistance. Together, these non-clay categories underpin value growth even as clay refractories retain volume leadership.
Clay refractories, topped by high-alumina variants, captured 55.43% of refractories market share in 2024, reflecting their cost-effectiveness across multiple furnace linings. Fireclay bricks serve moderate-temperature ladles and boilers, while insulating refractories unlock energy savings across industries. Researchers have achieved 84 MPa compressive strength in fly-ash geopolymer bricks after 1,100 °C exposure, hinting at circular-economy pathways for clay refractories. Saint-Gobain's ultra-high-temperature ceramics, particularly SiC and zirconia, stretch performance ceilings above 1,400 °C and illustrate how hybrid formulations blur the traditional clay/non-clay divide.
The Refractories Market Report is Segmented by Product Type (Non-Clay Refractories and Clay Refractories), End-User Industry (Iron and Steel, Cement, Energy and Chemicals, Non-Ferrous Metals, Glass, Ceramic, and Other End-User Industries), and Geography (Asia-Pacific, North America, Europe, South America, and Middle East and Africa). The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Volume (Tons).
Asia-Pacific owned 73.81% of the refractories market in 2024 and is slated to grow at a 4.22% CAGR through 2030. China continues modernizing blast furnaces while shutting obsolete capacity, driving sustained uptake of higher-grade bricks and castables. India outpaces all peers; RHI Magnesita's CEO forecasts 6-13% annual domestic refractory growth, reflecting large-scale steel and cement expansions. Japan's shift toward EAF technology, supported by JFE Holdings' USD 2.26 billion investment, redirects lining specifications toward EAF-optimized basic mixes. South Korea encountered a 5.7% production dip in 2024 but aims to pivot toward higher-value steel products that still require premium refractories. Accelerating lithium-ion battery gigafactory construction across China and Southeast Asia cements the region's role as the growth nucleus of the refractories market.
North America remains a mature yet strategically vital arena. HarbisonWalker International's USD 13.9 million expansion in Fulton, Missouri, will lift lightweight monolithic output by 60% and embodies the region's commitment to high-value applications. Heightened OSHA silica-dust limits incentivize investment in sealed handling and low-dust materials, reshaping product portfolios. Canada eyes leadership in green-iron exports, which could stimulate specialized DRI refractory demand. Mexico's competitiveness, however, is tempered by US antidumping duties that inflate costs for mag-carbon bricks.
Europe sets the pace on environmental policy. The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism raises the cost of high-carbon refractories, propelling adoption of carbon-free bonds and recycling solutions. ArcelorMittal's decision to return EUR 1.3 billion in subsidies for a German hydrogen-steel project illustrates the economic strain in the green transition. Yet R&D pipelines stay robust; Saint-Gobain's planned USD 40 million NorPro plant in Wheatfield, New York, although US-based, will serve European catalysts and emphasizes trans-Atlantic supply-chain integration. The Middle East and Africa offer emergent promise through Saudi industrial diversification and South African mining ventures, although political certainty and infrastructure gaps influence project pacing.
