In terms of tonnage, the global market was at 39,8 Mt/a in 2014 and is expected to reach 48,6 Mt by 2020. China will maintain its top position among countries, with a market share of more than 50 % in the refractories market. The gains registered in recent years because of a moderation in raw material costs and refractories prices were not as strong. The iron and steel market will reportedly continue to dominate global refractories sales, accounting for more than three-fifths of all 2020 product-demand in volume terms.ChangXing Refractory is a Chinese leading refractory and oil fracturing proppant manufacturer & supplier with a wide range industries in high temperature field . From a refractory bricks manufacturing factory, Changxing has become a professional manufacture with various refractory materials and oil fracturing proppant both in domestic and international market during 30+ years, whose customers covering North America, Middle East, South Asia, Africa, etc.?

Refractories are heat-resistant materials that constitute the linings for high-temperature furnaces and reactors and other processing units. In addition to being resistant to thermal stress and other physical phenomena induced by heat, refractories must also withstand physical wear and corrosion by chemical agents. Refractories are more heat resistant than metals and are required for heating applications above 1000°F (538°C).

The report elucidates the situation of refractories around the world and studies its markets by end-user industry, which include iron and steel, energy and chemicals, nonferrous metals, cement, ceramics, glass and others; and by product type: magnesite and chrome, zircon and zirconia, silicon carbide, graphite and carbon, high-alumina and fireclay among others.?

ChangXing has a production line, which is base on oil & gas applied ceramic proppant, and also with 3 factories focusing on all kinds of refractory materials used for iron & steel casting, cement, glass petrochemical and ceramics industries. With abundant sources and professional techniques, we would like to build a reliable and efficient platform for customers all over the world.
