Clay brick and product manufacturers produce clay bricks, ceramic tiles and refractory products principally used by the construction and manufacturing sectors. Over the past five years, clay producers have faced a major challenge from the pandemic, when declining consumer spending has reduced nonresidential construction and manufacturing output. Demand from residential markets was still strong, as low interest rates and government subsidization enabled lots of homebuying.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 1.6 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $6.4bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
