根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,全球再生耐火材料市場預計在 2024 年將達到 137.2 億美元,到 2030 年將達到 225.3 億美元,預測期內的複合年成長率為 10.8%。
再生耐火材料是經過加工和回收,可以在工業應用中重新使用的耐火材料。這些材料來自熔爐、窯爐和鋼包的磨損的耐火材料內襯,經過粉碎、清洗並根據成分和品質分級。耐火材料耐火材料有助於減少廢棄物、降低原料成本並最大限度地減少對環境的影響。
根據美國環保署(EPA)的說法,回收和再利用材料可以顯著減少溫室氣體排放;提高全球回收率每年可節省高達 25 億噸二氧化碳當量。
更重視循環經濟和減少碳足跡
政府和組織正在加強環境法規並促進材料的再利用,以最大限度地減少廢棄物和碳排放。耐火材料回收減少了對原始原料的依賴,並降低了能源消耗和生產成本。這種向資源效率和減少環境影響的轉變將推動對再生耐火材料的需求,刺激市場成長和永續耐火材料加工技術的創新。
回收材料性質不一致
由於原料的變化、污染以及先前使用造成的磨損,回收的耐火材料的性能不一致。各種操作條件、雜質和化學變化都會影響回收材料的品質和性能。這種不一致使得難以保持均勻的強度、耐熱性和耐用性,從而限制了其在高性能應用中的適用性。因此,品質的不確定性正在減少需求並減緩產業的廣泛接受度,從而阻礙市場成長。
鋼鐵和水泥業的成長
鋼鐵和水泥業嚴重依賴高溫爐窯,這些爐窯需要耐火材料內襯,但這些內襯會隨著時間的推移而磨損。回收這些廢耐火材料可降低原料成本並實現永續性目標。此外,基礎設施計劃和工業化進程不斷加快,也推動了耐火材料消費的增加,從而創造了穩定的可回收材料供應。隨著環境法規越來越嚴格,鋼鐵和水泥製造商擴大採用再生耐火材料,有助於擴大市場並在全球範圍內促進環保的工業實踐。
加工成本高
回收的耐火材料的加工成本很高,因為需要進行勞力密集的分類、清洗、破碎和分級步驟才能確保品質和一致性。污染物、磨損引起的性能變化以及恢復耐火材料性能的先進技術的需求進一步增加了成本。此外,有限的回收基礎設施和缺乏標準化的加工技術導致供應鏈效率低下,儘管對永續耐火材料解決方案的需求不斷成長,但仍進一步限制了市場擴張。
COVID-19 疫情導致供應鏈中斷、工業活動放緩和勞動力短缺,擾亂了再生耐火材料市場。鋼鐵、水泥和玻璃產業成長放緩導致耐火材料需求下降。但疫情後的復甦和對永續性的重新關注,導致人們對再生材料的興趣日益濃厚。儘管短期內出現了重大動盪,但加強循環經濟力度和加強環境法規預計將推動長期市場成長。
預測期內,熔爐和窯爐部分預計將成為最大的部分
預計預測期內,熔爐和窯爐部門將佔據最大的市場佔有率。熔爐和窯爐中的回收耐火材料可用於提高高溫應用的成本效率和永續性。這些材料來自於使用過的耐火材料襯裡,經過加工後可重新用於隔熱材料、襯裡和結構部件。加工技術的進步提高了回收耐火材料的性能,使其成為延長爐窯壽命的可行選擇。
預計預測期內玻璃製造部門將以最高的複合年成長率成長。
預計玻璃製造業將在預測期內見證最高成長率。玻璃生產中使用回收的耐火材料可以在保持耐高溫性的同時降低成本和減少對環境的影響。減少對原始耐火材料的依賴並與永續性計劃保持一致將使玻璃行業受益。減少對原始耐火材料的依賴並與永續性計劃保持一致將使玻璃行業受益。
在預測期內,亞太地區預計將佔據最大的市場佔有率,這得益於其強大的工業基礎,尤其是鋼鐵、水泥和玻璃生產。中國、印度和日本是主要貢獻者,因為它們擁有大規模的製造業和鼓勵永續實踐的嚴格環境法規。政府支持減少廢棄物和循環經濟實踐的舉措正在推動其應用,亞太地區已成為工業應用中再生耐火材料的成長中心。
預計北美地區在預測期內將呈現最高的複合年成長率。這項措施是在永續性努力不斷加強、環境法規更加嚴格以及鋼鐵、水泥和玻璃等行業採取削減成本措施的背景下採取的。美國和加拿大憑藉先進的回收基礎設施和日益普及的循環經濟實踐引領市場。技術進步和監管支持有望推動市場成長並促進整個工業應用中耐火材料的永續利用。
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Recycled Refractories Market is accounted for $13.72 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $22.53 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period. Recycled refractories are used refractory materials that have been processed and repurposed for reuse in industrial applications. These materials originate from worn-out refractory linings in furnaces, kilns, and ladles, which are crushed, cleaned, and graded based on composition and quality. Recycling refractories helps reduce waste, lower raw material costs, and minimize environmental impact.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), recycling and reuse of materials can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with a potential reduction of up to 2.5 billion metric tons of CO2 equivalent per year if recycling rates increase globally.
Growing emphasis on circular economy & carbon footprint reduction
Governments and organizations are enforcing stricter environmental regulations, promoting the reuse of materials to minimize waste and carbon emissions. Recycling refractories reduces dependence on virgin raw materials, lowering energy consumption and production costs. This shift toward resource efficiency and reduced environmental impact boosts demand for recycled refractories, fostering market growth and innovation in sustainable refractory processing technologies.
Inconsistent properties of recycled materials
Recycled refractories have inconsistent properties due to variations in raw materials, contamination, and wear from previous use. Different operating conditions, impurities, and chemical alterations affect the quality and performance of recycled materials. This inconsistency makes it difficult to maintain uniform strength, thermal resistance, and durability, limiting their suitability for high-performance applications. As a result, quality uncertainties hamper market growth by reducing demand and slowing widespread industrial acceptance.
Steel & cement industry growth
Steel and cement industries rely heavily on high-temperature furnaces and kilns, which require refractory linings that wear out over time. Recycling these used refractories reduces raw material costs and aligns with sustainability goals. Additionally, rising infrastructure projects and industrialization boost refractory consumption, creating a steady supply of recyclable materials. With stringent environmental regulations initiatives gaining traction, steel and cement manufacturers increasingly adopt recycled refractories, propelling market expansion and fostering eco-friendly industrial practices worldwide.
High processing costs
Recycled refractories have high processing costs due to labor-intensive sorting, cleaning, crushing, and grading processes required to ensure quality and consistency. Contaminants, wear-induced property variations, and the need for advanced technology to restore refractory performance further increase expenses. Additionally, limited recycling infrastructure and lack of standardized processing techniques create supply chain inefficiencies, further restricting market expansion despite growing demand for sustainable refractory solutions.
The covid-19 pandemic disrupted the recycled refractories market by causing supply chain interruptions, reduced industrial activity, and labor shortages. The slowdown in steel, cement, and glass industries led to lower demand for refractories. However, post-pandemic recovery and renewed emphasis on sustainability boosted interest in recycled materials. While short-term disruptions were significant, long-term market growth is expected due to increasing circular economy initiatives and stricter environmental regulations.
The furnaces & kilns segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The furnaces & kilns segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period. Recycled refractories in furnaces and kilns are used to enhance cost efficiency and sustainability in high-temperature applications.
