預計到 2025 年耐火材料市場規模為 5,736 萬噸,到 2030 年將達到 6,975 萬噸,預測期(2025-2030 年)複合年成長率為 3.99%。

這一成長動能反映了耐火材料市場適應煉鋼技術變革、能源密集型產業擴張以及監管預期不斷提高的能力。亞洲煉鋼產能的擴張、向氫基直接還原鐵(DRI)爐的轉型以及新一代電池、水泥和垃圾焚化發電設施的規模化建設,都將提振近期需求。同時,日益嚴格的二氧化矽粉塵法規和跨境碳關稅正在加速材料創新,並促使領先供應商進行策略整合。例如,儘管銷售量下滑,RHI Magnesita 2023 年的調整後息稅前利潤仍成長了 7%,達到 4.09 億歐元。
亞洲鋼鐵產能的擴張正推動耐火材料需求空前高漲。中國計劃在2024年上半年運作12座新高爐,總合1897萬噸。以更高效的高爐取代老舊設備將延長宣傳活動齡並提高熱負荷,從而推動耐火材料市場對高等級鎂碳和整體式耐火材料解決方案的創新。 RHI Magnesita India公司2023-2024會計年度的銷售額預計將達到378.1億印度盧比(約4.53億美元),為遍布九個地區的700多家客戶提供服務。區域集中化有利於本地製造商縮短前置作業時間,但也為西方供應商維持市場佔有率帶來了挑戰。同時,韓國耐火材料產量預計在2024年下降5.7%,凸顯了整個耐火材料市場成長的不平衡。
氫基直接還原鐵(DRI)改變了溫度分佈和氣氛,因此需要具有優異抗熱衝擊性和抗氫脆性的耐火材料。 Magnesita公司的一項研究證實,用於生產「綠色鋼」的電爐需要能夠耐受富氫氣體的新型耐火材料。安賽樂米塔爾公司於2025年退出德國計劃並退還13億歐元的補貼,凸顯了經濟的不確定性。然而,能源經濟研究所預測,到2050年,對直接還原鐵(DR級)鐵礦石的需求將增加十倍,這表明特種直接還原鐵具有長期發展潛力。
歐盟的碳邊境關稅和北美的脫碳政策正在抑制對傳統鎂碳磚的需求。生命週期評估表明,無碳鎂替代品對環境的影響較小,但需要更廣泛的產業檢驗。美國對中國和墨西哥鎂碳磚徵收的反傾銷稅,對某些生產商的稅率高達236%,加劇了成本壓力,並推動耐火材料市場向低碳解決方案轉型。 RHI Magnesita公司的高回收鎂碳系列產品展現了一條過渡路徑,但從長遠來看,無碳黏合劑和陶瓷基質複合材料更具優勢。
在回顧期內,非黏土耐火材料的複合年成長率 (CAGR) 為 4.76%,預計到 2030 年將繼續優於黏土耐火材料。非粘土耐火磚憑藉其卓越的耐腐蝕性和抗熱震性而蓬勃發展,這對於氫基煉鋼、先進電池和廢棄物焚燒爐至關重要。菱鎂礦磚因其對爐渣化學成分的耐受性而主導著基礎煉鋼領域,而氧化鋯磚則在嚴苛循環和極端高溫區域表現出色。矽磚仍然是焦爐格柵結構的重要組成部分,但日益嚴格的結晶二氧化矽暴露法規(將粉塵濃度限制在 50µg/m³)限制了其使用。鉻鐵礦磚憑藉其強大的抗金屬滲透性,在有色金屬冶煉領域保持著一定的市場佔有率。在黏土耐火材料保持其銷售領先地位的同時,這些非黏土耐火材料類別支撐了價值成長。
以高鋁磚為代表的黏土耐火材料,預計2024年將佔據耐火材料市場55.43%的佔有率。耐火粘土磚廣泛應用於中溫鋼包和鍋爐,其隔熱耐火材料釋放各行各業實現節能。調查團隊在1100度C高溫下,使飛灰無機聚合物磚的抗壓強度達到84 MPa,顯示黏土耐火材料有望實現循環經濟。聖戈班的超高溫陶瓷,特別是碳化矽和氧化鋯,將耐火材料的性能極限提升至1400 度C以上,這表明混合配方模糊了傳統粘土/非粘土耐火材料的界限。
耐火材料市場報告按產品類型(非粘土耐火材料和粘土耐火材料)、終端用戶行業(鋼鐵、水泥、能源化工、非鐵金屬、玻璃、陶瓷及其他終端用戶行業)和地區(亞太地區、北美、歐洲、南美以及中東和非洲)進行細分。市場預測以噸為單位。
預計到2024年,亞太地區將佔全球耐火材料市場73.81%的佔有率,並在2030年之前以4.22%的複合年成長率成長。中國持續推動高爐現代化改造,同時關閉老舊產能,並推廣高等級耐火磚和澆注料的永續應用。 RHI Magnesita執行長預測,國內耐火材料年增率將達到6%至13%,這反映了鋼鐵和水泥產業的快速擴張。日本在JFE控股22.6億美元投資的支持下,正向電弧爐(EAF)技術轉型,將促使爐襯配方轉向針對電弧爐最佳化的基礎配方。韓國的耐火材料產量預計在2024年將下降5.7%,但其目標是將生產重心轉向高價值鋼鐵耐火材料,而這類產品對耐火材料的需求較高。中國和東南亞鋰離子電池超級工廠建設的加速推進,使該地區成為耐火材料市場的成長中心。
北美是一個成熟且具有重要戰略意義的地區。哈比森沃克國際公司在密蘇裡州富爾頓投資1,390萬美元進行擴建,將使輕質整體式耐火材料的產量提高60%,這反映了該公司致力於在該地區開發高價值應用產品的承諾。美國職業安全與健康管理局(OSHA)更嚴格的二氧化矽粉塵法規將推動對封閉式物料輸送和低粉塵材料的投資,從而重塑產品系列。加拿大預計在生鐵出口方面佔據主導,這可能會刺激對特種直接還原鐵(DRI)耐火材料的需求。然而,由於美國反傾銷稅推高了鎂碳磚的成本,墨西哥的競爭力受到削弱。
歐洲在環境政策上引領潮流。歐盟的碳邊境調節機制將提高高碳排放的成本,並鼓勵採用無碳債券和回收解決方案。安賽樂米塔爾決定退還其為德國氫鋼計劃提供的13億歐元補貼,凸顯了綠色轉型帶來的經濟負擔。聖戈班計劃在紐約州惠特菲爾德投資4000萬美元建設NorPro工廠,該工廠雖然總部位於美國,但主要面向歐洲催化劑供應商,凸顯了跨大西洋供應鏈的整合。在中東和非洲,沙烏地阿拉伯的產業多元化和南非的礦業計畫展現出良好的前景,但政治穩定性和基礎設施的不足將影響計劃的進展速度。
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.
