Acquisition and Mergers Drive the Major Players in formulating their key strategies
Detailed comparative analysis of key competitors available within the Research Study shows that numerous companies such as IMERYS, Vesuvius PLC, Morgan Advanced Material, and more are highly focused on providing a significant number of refractories solutions and advanced techniques that can be used across end-user industries. Furthermore, Numerous companies and organizations are strategically going for multiple acquisitions and mergers.
- In Aug 2020, IMERYS, a company with a specialty in the mineral industry signed an agreement for the acquisition of the remaining 60% of Haznedar group, a Turkish-based high-grade monolithic refractories, and refractory bricks manufacturer. With this, it will expand into basic and acidic refractory bricks and extend its competitive production base in Turkey, strategically located between Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
- In December 2021, Vesuvius PLC, a global leader in molten metal flow engineering and technology serving the steel and foundry industries acquired Universal Refractories, Inc. With this acquisition Vesuvius is likely to expand its presence amongst electric furnace steel producers, further strengthening its foundry business in North America.
Covid-19 Pandemic Limited Refractories Growth, Affecting Manufacturing Plants
Refractories product manufacturing declined during the Covid-19 pandemic. The initial spread of the virus led to the shutdown of iron and steel, cement, and glass manufacturing plants. The reduction of this material led to the shortage of refractories production, as the construction in various countries stopped. The manufacturing and construction industry also witnessed a shortage of employees, thus slowing down the production of cement and glass companies resulting in the decline of refractories products.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China, in 2021, China’s investment in residential construction was valued at approx. US$ 1,745 million with a 6.4% increase compared to the previous year, thus indicating the rise in the construction industry post-pandemic, providing the growth opportunity for the refractories market.
