Clay products are referred to as structural materials which are fabricated by molding, drying & burning clay mass. Clay products are mainly used for making bricks such as building a brick, terra-cotta facing the tile, paving brick, drainage pipe, and roofing tile. Clay bricks encompass pleasing outer shell, strength & durability whereas clay tiles are used for light-weight partition walls or floors possess high resistance and strength to fire. In addition, Clay pipes are used in drains, sewers, and conduits on account of their durability, lightness, strength, and cheapness. Moreover, refractories are materials which provide linings for high-temperature furnaces & other processing units. Refractories are used in furnaces, incinerators, kilns, and reactors.

The clay product and refractory manufacturing market are driven by rising in demand in emerging markets for metal & nonmetallic mineral products, followed by an increase in demand from the glass industry, rise in disposable income and growth in urbanization. However, stringent government & environmental agencies and an increase in environmental awareness may impact the market.
Nowadays, hollow clay bricks are replacing solid bricks due to their durability, eco-friendly and cost-effective properties. The bricks are manufactured with waste materials or natural substitutes and formed by placing moist clay in a mold. Based on geography, the Asian-Pacific region holds the major share in clay product and refractory manufacturing market, followed by Western Europe owing to local availability of raw materials, such as alumni and magnetite in the region. It is expected that the future of this market will be bright due to the increase in the production of non-ferrous materials over the forecast period.
